Hi had my yes lasered on Jan 9th 2009 with the expectation that i might have to wear glasses after the procedure because i was told my shortsightedness was on the limits of what could be done. I was -9.5 in the right and -8.5 in the left but am now glasses and contact lens-free which is a truly amazing feeling. While my left eye is still a little blurry i hope it will settle over the coming weeks and if it doesn't, i am still at a level where i can function well and am not dependent on glasses.
The staff at the clinic in Fulham, west London, were all absolutely brilliant. Each one is very calm and authoritative. I never once felt i was being sold a product and was given all the facts and treatment options then left to make up my mind over the next few months.
The surgery itself, while not painful as such, was not a pleasant experience. But, 30 minutes of discomfort to be able to see is certainly worth it in my book!
All in all, I can't recommend them enough. Anyone considering having this treatment should at the very least go to see them for their free consultation and see for themselves.
