Optimax Epi Lasek Laser Eye Surgery

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

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

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
