| Abstract | Mr. Kalisvaart is almost 90 years old. He has been a very independent and active man all his life. Since 15 years he suffers from glaucoma in both his eyes, and by now he is almost completely blind. His hearing has also much declined in recent years. He is therefore unable to listen to classical music which used to be his passion. Moreover, as a result of disc degeneration he has serious back pain. |
