I had this treatment approx 15 months ago and I have to say it is one of the best things I have ever done, it is worth every penny. The reason I chose the eye hospital is that they deal with eye complications everyday and I figured that if anyone knew what they were doing they were the ones and the only ones I would trust. Khalid Ikram was my surgeon and I have to say he answered all my questions honestly and promptly. All the staff at the centre were kind, polite and helpful  More...

Manchester Centre for Vision at Manchester Eye Hospital Had lasek with wavefront on 29/8/09, it's been 1 week and my eyes are near perfect. I can see probably better than with my glasses already. I had the bandage lenses taken out last Monday, 2 days ago, and my eyes feel much better. My eyes are still a little dry but that's to be expected. I'm still taking the mandatory antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops at the moment. I have artificial tears to provide comfort from the dryness for as long as I like. Although if it's only been a week and my eyes are this good, can't imagine needing them for very long. I researched laser surgery for years before actually going for it. I ...  More...

Manchester Centre for Vision : Manchester Centre for Excellence! I cannot praise Dr Ikram and his team at Manchester Centre for Vision enough for their professionalism and care throughout my Laser Eye Surgery procedure. I had thought long and hard about proceeding with Laser Surgery and when Manchester Centre for Vision was recommended to me I had no hesitation in booking an initial consultation. I had more confidence attending a clinic at the Royal Manchester Eye Hospital than a high street clinic. I opted for Lasek surgery on the recommendation of Mr Ikram due to my dry eyes, the procedure was painless and quick and I was amazed at the instant results, after having worn glasses f ...  More...

After much consideration and research I decided to have my vision correction surgery carried out at The Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. From first contact I found all staff members to be very professional and welcoming. The inital consultation was very thorough and the appropriate surgery was booked for the following 2 weeks. I had Lasik carried out 4 days ago, immediately after the surgery although my vision was blurred I could see an improvement, I was warned that I would experience varying degrees of discomfort over the next 72 hours. The initial discomfort was just about bearable and would compare it to getting shampoo in your eyes (only not being able to rinse it out) Once home I took ...  More...

i am moderately short sighted and had the Lasik procedure yesterday. it is phenomenal to look out of the window now and see the other side of the street with what i regard to be perfect vision without my glasses. I have worn them for 20 years for everyday life and to not have them on my face anymore is going to take some getting used to. My eyes are currently a bit scratchy and dry, though i have medication to treat them with. I cannot believe i had the surgery less than 24 hours ago! I highly recommend this centre to anyone wishing to have laser eye surgery.  More...

Previous to surgery i was very short sighted (about -7.5), and for future career plans i had decided upon laser surgery. I had consulted numerous websites and done a lot of research prior to treatment, including accessing this website. I discovered that Manchester was the best place to go, even coming all the way from Newcastle. I was not wrong, and have been delighted with the results and service i obtained. My first visit was with the nurse, who was excellent in explaining the procedure, and did a number of tests to test my suitability. This put my mind at immediate ease. The second part was to meet my surgeon, Mr Leon Au. Mr Au took time in explaining things to me in considerable ...  More...

I had LASEK surgery in August 2007 having spent the last couple of years (meticulously) researching the different procedures, clinics and surgeons. I had decided the Eye Hospital to beprobably the best option as the patient sees the same operating surgeon and clinical staff from start to finish. I had also decided on LASEK which seems to be slightly more hassle in the short-term but lower-risk long-term and equal in terms of potential outcomes. It is imperative to do your own research though as this will vary from individual to individual. At the Manchester Eye Hospital there is no rush, no pressureand a very honest and matter of fact approach. I was also heartened to find that profits ...  More...

I had my lasek surgery in April 2006 and I can honestly say it is one of the best things I have ever done. I had a relatively high prescription of -7.00 both eyes, had been wearing glasses from 6 years of age and contact lens from 18 years of age - nearly 50 years in total. I did my internet research, and chose the Manchester Eye Hospital as I believed they would have the very best care available. I didn't even bother looking at the high street clinics. I was treated courteously and efficiently before, during and after the treatment by all the staff from the medical staff through to the receptionist. I always felt I was in very safe hands, although I found the op a bit scary and the ...  More...

6 months on, and having been for my fifth post-op checkup (all of which were with the surgeon who performed my op), I am -0.25 in my left eye and 0.00 in my right. I am very pleased with the process in all areas, and would certainly recommend Lasek+wavefront as performed here. This isn't the cheapest clinic around, but you definitely get what you paid for.  More...

Had my eyes treated with lasek+wavefront on 19th July, a procedure I was more comfortable with than Lasik, based on my research. And so far, so good. My vision is clear in both eyes after 2 weeks, albeit with some discomfort in bright light. As for the clinic, it presents a friendly, relaxed impression to prospective patients, and doesn't try-too-hard to be "slick" like some of the sharper commercial operators out there. It's part of the Royal Eye Hospital, which I understand treats complications presented by other clinics, so you're in the right place straight off, as you've always access to a consultant eye surgeon (they try to ensure you see the same guy all the way throug ...  More...
