Laser Eye Surgery reviews

I went to Optical Express at Lakeside to have both my eyes lasered and i must say its the best thing i have ever done. My eyesight was -2.50 in both eyes which isnt that bad but the thought of wearing contact lenses and glasses for the rest of my life was really depressing me.
I went to see the consultant who said i was suitable to have the treatment, i then booked the surgery for a few weeks later. On the day of the surgery i was very nervous but i shouldn't have worried as the Optical Express staff were very friendly and helpfull and the surgeon was also very friendly and made me feel at ease. I had the surgery which took 10 mins and was painless, i had a slight discomfort in my eyes for a few minutes after the surgery but with the eye drops given to me they were fine a few hours after. I had to wear sunglasses for my journey home as the bright lights made it a bit uncomfortable, when i got home i went to sleep for a few hours and when i woke up my eyesight was better then 20/20. I have a couple of discount vouchers left for anyone thinking about having surgery in the next couple of months, it gives £150.00 off their bill. If you are interested in a voucher email me at goodeyes1966@hotmail.co.uk. Good luck.

I went into this Laser eye surgery initially with enthusiasm and then with fear and trepidation and regret. I perhaps would have pulled out of the procedure if I hadnt already paid the £3000+ fee. I had opted for the Lasik Intralase (most expensive, quickest and safest method). I was anxious about some bad reviews I had read and the drastic irreversible description of the procedure in the no-nonsense literature the OE give you to read and make you sign. The procedure itself was not that painful though you should read up about it to prepare yourself. The staff were friendly and professional though I detected a hint of impatience at my hesitation and squeamishness. Immediately afterward I was made to wait in a darkened room to recover. The anaesthetic drops soon wore off and the pain and discomfort started. It was very sore but not unbearable. It lasted about 8hrs so dont plan anything in that time. You have to sleep with googles on and put drops in your eyes regularly. My sight is not quite up to 20-20 but it is pretty close and getting better and I only had it done 3 weeks ago. I would recommend this procedure. If you would like a voucher worth £150 I could send it to you if you give me your name and address. My email is thomasrod*omf.net (replace * with @).

Initially I was concerned about the success of the treatment, would I be able to see as well without glasses and more importantly, would it hurt! but having met with Nina and Mike I was very quickly re-assured that my fears were unfounded. Their professionalism was exceptional with extensive eye tests and examinations and confirmations to verify if treatment was possible. When I was given the go-ahead it was only a few days later that I found myself in the most capable hands of treatment nurses Anne-Marie and Carrie-Anne, laser technician Chris and the brilliant surgeon, Joe Karthikappallil. Within ten to fifteen minutes my world had changed! I could see without the aid of spectacles and over the next few hours my eyesight improved minute by minute. I have nothing but the highest praise for all the staff at Ultralase Manchester. Would I recommend you have it done? You bet I would!
