Optimax definitely gave the most impartial and most comprehensive information pre-operatively and i have been amazed at how courteous and caring they are at my post-op appointments. Mr Samuels - my surgeon - is a leading expert in the field and i cannot rate him highly enough.I wanted laser surgery so that i could play sports and live life with more confidence - if i lost my glasses i found it difficult to find them again! My prescription was -7 and -5 with -1 astigmatism so was given realistic expections about probably still needing glasses as i was so short sighted.However, fingers crossed so far, i have achieved 20/20 vision within 2 weeks (although this can still get better or worse). I was driving standard straight after the op! I experience quite a lot of haziness in direct sunlight and night vision is not great yet but this should improve soon.When people say it is a revelation i know what they mean now! I thought i would miss wearing my glasses - but not so! I can see myself to wash in the shower, can see the bedside clock, can wear NORMAL sunglasses - i can't wait to go skiing with normal goggles this winter!!!All thanks to optimax. I was anxious about the small risks involved, but sometimes if you don't go for it, you'll never experience the freedom!:cool:Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:32:05 GMTdoctorjohn
