“Ivan spoke about the events that had taken place since our last meeting three weeks ago. A week before the New Year, members of the POC visited him. After this meeting, he was examined by an ophthalmologist and got a prescription for glasses. Not even half a year had passed since the first statement about the need for such an examination. Well, at least so”,- the message said.
