I am back at work 48 hours after having surgery which says a lot about how easy the procedure is. My initial check-up said better than 20/20. My prescription was -3.00 in each eye. I compared 3 clinics, Ultralase, Optical Express and Accuvision. I went for Accuvision because the environment felt right and the surgeon, Chad Rostron works in the NHS which is listed as an important criteria on the choosing the surgeon page on this site. The surgery was very quick and their approach was very calming. Nevertheless, you do worry that you are completely mad in deciding to have your eye cut into! If you are nervous of dentists etc ask if you can take a valium or something. Fortunately it is over very quickly and is completely painless. I kept my eyes shut from surgery until the next morning as this helps healing. It basically feels like you have some soap and an inside out contact lense in your eye for about 2 hours post surgery. The next day feels like you have been wearing contact lenses for too long and now, 48 hours later, I just feel like I have contact lenses in, I always found my vision slightly blurry when scrolling down a computer page too quickly with contact lenses in and this is exactly the same sensation. I will post again in a couple of months to confirm that my eyes feel 100% normal but so far I am really happy with the result.
