LASIK Treatments Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I had LASIK laser eye surgery 2 months ago. This opinion is a bit about what LASIK is and how it works, but mostly about my experience of it. What is LASIK? LASIK stands for Laser In Situ Keratomileusis. Sounds all a bit complicated doesn't it!! It is a method of correcting short or long sightedness using lasers. The ...  Read the complete review

I?ve been incredibly short sighted with a stigmatism for as long as I can remember. It wasn?t picked up until I was 7. The teachers thought I was thick because I didn?t answer any questions, but in truth, I just couldn?t see the blackboard. After suffering taunts at school about my NHS ...  Read the complete review

I actually logged on to dooyou before I decided to have the treatment, the reviews pushed me to go for it, so here is my experience of LASIK. Ok, lets start from the beginning, aged 10 I realised that I could not see the blackboard so having to look at my mates paper next to me was the only way I could do my work. Next thing I know the nice man at ...  Read the complete review

I decided that I was going to opt for laser surgery treatment in December last year and made it my new years resolution to do it for the start of 2003. The money did not bother me too much , I will come to that later. It was just the fact that I didn't know of one person who has had the treatment so obviously I was a little nervous. I had ...  Read the complete review

OK, firstly I have strived not to simply repeat what has already been covered but to provide my own perspective on Lasik. All the reviews here are excellent and should be read. This is not because I am lazy - but because repetitive review serve no purpose and the best thing you can do if lasik interests you is get as many perspectives as ...  Read the complete review

I had rotten eyesight for as long as I could remember. I used to squint at the blackboard in Mrs Foot's primary three class and it went downhill thereafter. It was diagnosed at an early age but a flaw in the system, which meant that it was up to me to tell the folks, meant my squinting saw me through my school years. I never had anything ...  Read the complete review

LASIK (Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure which involves the cutting of a thin layer of the cornea, leaving a hinged flap which is lifted and folded back from the eye; a pre-programmed excimer laser then reshapes the outer layer of the exposed cornea before the flap is replaced. I won?t go into detail regarding the ...  Read the complete review

Why I chose to have this done I still remember that day - 22 years ago - at the back of school assembly when I realised I couldn't read the words during 'hymn practice'. Much has happened since then, including the humiliation of NHS specs - a sure factor in the delayed development of my love life - but HEY, I won't burden ...  Read the complete review

I had Lasik done in January 99 - both eyes at the same time. I had my procedure done at the Centre for Sight which is within the Queen Victoria Hospital (QVH) in East Grinstead. <b>Declaration of interest</b> - at the time I got my eyes done, my wife worked as a Senior Nurse in the NHS opthalmic unit within the QVH. Although she ...  Read the complete review

I’ve needed assistance with my eyesight since middle school although it wasn’t until my late teens that this started to become an unwelcome state of affairs. There were a number of reasons for this. Some of them petty in isolation, their combined effect was really beginning to nark me off. For instance, the sea is a bit of a no go ...  Read the complete review

The laser corrective surgery for the eye has not achieved as much popularity as predicted a few years ago. The reason for this is not only that people are scared of having surgeons messing about with their eyes but because the results obtained from these corrective surgeries has not been overwhelmingly great. Indeed there is a strong (probably ...  Read the complete review

I had worn glasses since the age of 4 and contact lenses from the age of 12 until I was 24. My prescription was pretty high (-7.25 in each eye) which meant that my glasses were really thick and soft contact lenses were a luxury I could only dream of. Over time, I lost all tolerance with my Gas-Permeable contact lenses until I ...  Read the complete review

I used to wear contact lenses but got an infection which meant I couldn't wear them anymore. I hated wearing glasses - so about 4 months ago I had laser surgery on my eyes. I had an eye examination where the doctor checked your eyes and told you a little about the op - you then went ot talk to a nurse in more detail about the op. ...  Read the complete review
