Until recently, all lasik patients got the same bog standard procedure, which was great.....but customvue wavefront is better. lots of pictures are taken of your eyes, and all the little imperfections are recorded, so that when you get them zapped, its tailored perfectly for your eyes. this means that after customvue wavefront, your ... more

Express Review on LASIK Treatments

i!got my surgery in may 2008 by optical express in Glasgow, i have to say the whole procedure was quick easy and painless!! i do now have the best vision, i can see better than people who never wore glasses.
the only thing was the consultation, it was hard sell which was in kirkcaldy fife, and my aftercare i feel the optician just wanted to quickly check my eyes, the desperation to get me to fill out a survey every time i was there was annoying, i eventually stopped going for my check-ups stupid maybe but ive not had problems,
i would recommed it if your not to worried about aftercare if it goes well you dont need it just make sure you use the eye drops etc properly and youl be good.

Firstly, in this review, I wont be doing an in depth report on the technicalities, or the science bit.... Mainly because I am not a surgeon, and wouldnt want to get anything wrong. Ok, so for the majority of my life, I have been incredibly short sighted. If I sat with my laptop on my knee, I would need to wear my glasses. The only time i got to take my glasses off was when I was reading at night with the book about four inches away from my face. I have heard many things about laser eye surgery. Horror stories. *I went blind* stories. I always considered it far too risky to be a real possibility. A few months ago, my ...  Read the complete review

Review about LASIK Treatments, 10.07.2007 Review i have been a regular patient of optical express for about 10 years and have regularly had my eye tests there and had my glasses and contact lenses from them. When i heard the free consultations were being held in wolverhampton i plucked up the courage and went ahead. I was told i was suitable for laser eye correction and they told me what the best treatment would be. i agreed to the treatment and paid in full for my treatment which cost just over £2000 as i needed lasik wavefront treatment. I had a fantastic consultation and felt at ease with all the info given to me. I had my ...  Read the complete review

To get straight to the point I am glad I didn't have Lasik surgery done! I had been curious about it for a while and decided to go for a free consultation at Optical Express (as I saw them advertising for approx £390 per eye). On the day of my consultation the staff were pleasant but I got the feeling they weren't completely sure what they were talking about and didn't have much experience. I had numerous amounts of tests done on my eyes including one where they put drops in your eyes to relax the muscles and dilate the pupils (which by the way leaves you unable to focus on anything and very sensitive to light). I was told I was an good candidate for the ...  Read the complete review
