Correspondence of Bernard Shaw with his Optician John Cole, FBOA (May 1947–December 1949). "Four letters, three postcards and a compliments slip in which the cantankerous old writer seeks correction of a bifocal lens, enquires what to do with his old lenses cases and frames, enquires about stronger spectacles for reading The Times at breakfast, performs a self-diagnosis after reading an article in The Lancet (written on Christmas Day!), cancels an order, refers to a helmet mounted device for supporting a magnifier and asks for a replacement of a lens he has broken by walking upon it. He finally declares his new reading glasses to be a success, no doubt to the relief of a concerned . . . eye doctor." Sitelink includes a [End Page 245] photo of one of the letters.
