Are Optometrists boring? – we meet this one while he’s making a disaster of an internet date. After recovering the situation he proceeds to cause chaos on his second chance, this time in a posh restaurant. Mark’s fighting the rear-guard on all fronts. An old girlfriend is spearheading attacks from the NHS, and because he lives in a holiday caravan the bank’s computer thinks he’s homeless.Back on the romance front he’s once more managed to turn things around – only to make the crushing discovery that he’s being cheated on again. Watching him ‘doing his stuff’ with patients it’s quickly apparent that he attracts a quirky bunch. Strangely, it isn’t always their eyes they want his help with...Sometimes inept but always best-intentioned, Mark struggles through his escalating predicaments until victory falls tantalisingly within his grasp – when suddenly a new threat arises, the worst yet.For the powers that be have summoned him – his competence is in question, and with it his livelihood.How will he get out of this one? Undeterred, the brave lad is puffing imaginary smoke from the bulb-end of a clinical penlight -It’s Gunfight at the Eyes Up corral. (Did someone say that Optometrists are boring...?) What readers have said: ‘The Optometrist equivalent of James Herriot?’ ‘Great fun read.’‘I loved his quick wit and humor.
