Optimax Epi Lasek Laser Eye Surgery ... Epiflap. The laser is programmed for your individual prescription. The surface of the eye is lasered (cornea) without the need of surgery to the eye. Epi-LASEK laser eye surgery is performed in sterile conditions. The surgeon applies anaesthetic eye drops to eliminate any pain and a small 'clip' is used to keep the eyelid open. The thin, protective outer layer of cells (epithelium) is softened with alcohol and folded aside. You then stare at the target light whilst the laser is applied to the cornea for about 30 seconds. Additional laser treatment for astigmatic correction, if required, takes place after a short pause and takes a further 15 seconds (dependent on the level of correction required). The epithelium is then gently pushed back into place. The treatment takes approximately 15 minutes (a special tracker locks onto the iris and the laser follows the eye if you move) and patients find the whole process quick and simple.

 ... London. On 9/9/09 I had Intralase Wavefront Lasik Treatment in both eyes. I was short sighted and have astigmatism. Treatment itself was completely painless. Couple hours after treatment I had some discomfort, but never had to take the painkillers I was given. Day 2 I had one bloodshot eye and it was slightly sore (feels a bit like a contact lens that has dried up). Day 2 I had a follow up test...vision already the same as when I wore contacts. Day 7 and vision is now 20/20. Having treatment was one of the best thing...more

I had my treatment on 20 October 2007, I'm never going to forget that day! I had my consultation at around lunchtime, which involved some eye tests and a thorough examination by the surgeon. I gave my eye history, and explained that I was fed up of having to wear contact lenses & glasses. After I was told that I was a suitable candidate, he went through the various procedures. I had already decided beforehand that I would have Epi-Lasek. Although it would hurt, there was less chance of complications. He then convinced be to have wavefront treatment as there is a better chance of 20/20 vision, and also to avoid any night vision problems (because of my ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review My experience of Laser Eye Surgery (5165 words)

I was sixteen (I’m 34 now) when I first started wearing glasses. Discovering that I actually needed glasses was a weird and uplifting experience that I will never forget. It was a lovely, hot summer day and I was in the park with my friend, who was just off to the optician to have her annual check-up. I didn’t realise she even wore glasses, she had kept it a secret for some strange reason, so being a typical teenager I tried them on for a laugh. And the results were amazing. I could see! The sky looked bluer, the details on people’s faces were clearer and I could see every blade of grass. It was an amazing and bizarre experience. I realised then that I needed to have an ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Optimax Epi Lasek Laser Eye Surgery: Review on Epi-Lasek Eye Surgery (5911 words)

Rating:

Date of consultation and operation: 02/10/2006 I am a 43 year old male, born in England and still living in the UK. I have needed glasses since the age of 15 as I realised at that age that I could not see the blackboard, or bus numbers as they approached (the buses not the blackboards). I started wearing contact lenses at the age of 17 and was fortunate to be able to wear soft contact lenses. My prescription then was about -2.5 (short sighted). So some 26 years later, I have grown weary of the constant hassle that glasses and contact lenses, and although I have never had a really bad problem with contact lenses, I have been starting ...  Read the complete review

I wore glasses from the age of twelve. As most with short-sight, one of my parents also required corrective lenses, as did both of my sisters. From 17, I switched to contact lenses, along with the arrival of my drivers licence. I had no trouble with them, and had only one infection that I can remember in all the years I wore them. Even when it became apparant that my eye was mis-shaped, the lenses were fine. Ok, i needed special ones with weights in one end to make them fit the shape of the cornea. I started toying with the idea of corrective surgery in 2006, when I was 26. I looked into the options on the net, was fully aware of the potential problems (from ...  Read the complete review

I want to write about my recent experience with laser eye surgury. Or to be more accurate my non-experience with it. I have been suspended from my job for a few months and I have not had much to do so I have been getting my teeth fixed and I thought I would go get my eyesight corrected by laser. First off you have to understand I live in the USA and I have a very good health insurance plan from my firm. So I called up a huge eye care center that advertises all over that they do this procedure. I first called my insurance company and they told me the claim code of the procedure that they cover entirely with only an eight pound co-pay. I then called the ...  Read the complete review
