STILL Game star and Royal Navy veteran James Martin has shared his own experiences of living with age-related sight loss in a bid to raise awareness of the support available to veterans with sight loss in Scotland. The actor, a Musselburgh resident for 34 years, played fan favourite Eric in the much-loved sitcom Still Game and turns 90 in March. He was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration – an eye disease which affects central vision and for which there is currently no cure – over a decade ago. With his deteriorating sight making it difficult for him to recognise faces and read, James got in touch with Sight Scotland Veterans in 2019 after learning of the charity at a veterans event.
