I had my procedure carried out on 12th March 2003. As with other postimonials, the reason it has taken me so long to post my findings on this site (despite my having fervently promised Vic I would do so immediately!) is that I have been having the time of my life since I regained my sight. It has been wonderful and I cannot thank the staff of Accuvision enough for making the whole process so good and of course for their efficiency.

I am one of those rare creatures who actually found the procedure itself quite distressing and I could swear I felt every cut that laser made but I don't want to unduly alarm anyone who has yet to decide on it as like childbirth, you do forget the pain and discomfort, once it is over and you see the results!!!!!!!!
Furthermore, I made the following mistakes when I went along for my procedure: -
1. I didn't get anywhere near enough sleep the night before
2. I didn't wear sufficiently warm clothing and you really shiver in that cool operating room
3. I got myself thoroughly worked up about the whole thing and felt a complete prat when I came out and found (through narrowed slits of sore and watering eyes) that the rest of the post op patients, were happily sitting there in the waiting area, sipping their tea and looking only slightly drained!!!!!!!!
Being the drama queen that I am, I sighed and swooned and the staff could not have been more comforting and reassuring. I recall Mike, Vic and the delectable Darius. The latter saved me from total hysteria during the surgery as the surgeon was I felt, getting rather fed up with my attempts to perform pole vault exercises with my legs, every time the laser was turned on. Darius reassured me and made me feel that I was in safe hands.
You are a lovely bunch of people at Accuvision and I cannot sing your praises enough to all and sundry.
