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 treatment a week later in birmingham. Feeling very worried and nervous i arrived for my appointment at 8.15am. I was greeted by friendly staff who offered tea coffee and croissants. I was not seen untill approx 9.10 where i was asked to hand over my signed consent form and to fill in my details on yet another sheet as they did not have my details from the week before. They did not know what treatment i was having, was calling me the wrong name and even got my date of birth wrong. I was very worried by this point. i had another consutation to make sure i could still go a head and have scans taken of both eyes. This was all explained. At 9.30 i saw the surgeon, who was very quick with going over my details and offered very little imput into what i was about to experience. i was then preped with anaesetic eye drops and taken into the suit where i was to have my procedure carried out. Very little was explained to me throughout the procedure and the whole thing was very uncomfortable but painfree. It was over in 10 minutes. I was taken to a dark room where a nurse spoke to me about my after care and eye drops all in about 5 minutes. I did not feel worthy to the staff who were there and the whole morning was like a cattle market as soon as one was done another was going in. It was a very quick turn over. I expected the ammount of money i paid up front would of given me some fantastic care but i recieved very little and was not put at ease throughout the day. On the other hand my eye sight is fantastic 24 hours after the procedure and i cant thank the surgeon enough for giving me a free life without contatcs and glasses but i do feel he needs to spend more time with his patients. I was home 3 hours later having to wear sunglasses and taking regular pain releif but that i expected and had settled down by the end of the day and the next day my sight was near perfect. This is a personal experience and i really appreciate my sight and i am pleased that i under went this procedure. Hope i have not put people off. Maybe my expectations were to high!! Is this just optical express? I have rated 3 stars for level of personal attention recieved but 5 stars on a whole for my sight being better then ever.

Summary: Summary: so glad i have had it done but more time and info needed from surgeon and staff
