"There is no substitute for one-to-one advice from a听top medical expert and that's what we offer our callers and emailers. But for each person who calls to ask for help, someone else phones in to pass on a tip or a suggestion -听it's a great programme to present."

Eyes
Our vision loses its sharpness as we age.
By the age of 60, up to 60% of people have developed a cataract - or cloudy lens.
Many people are able to carry on with their lives, adapting to their changing eyesight.
But if an operation is needed, our expert explains how simple and successful the procedure is today.
If you have a family history of glaucoma - where pressure builds up in the eye - or macular degeneration, the commonest cause of blindness in the over 50's - call in for advice on the latest thoughts on treatments, and what you can do to help yourself.听
Barbara Myers will be joined by an ophthalmologist from the world-famous Moorfields eye hospital to answer your queries on the prevention and treatment of common diseases of the ageing eye.
