15 months post-op - I keep meaning to post comments on this site because I remember when I was investigating the surgery that I found it very frustrating that hardly anyone posts comments after a year or more after their surgery. The reason I haven't done yet is that my vision is so good that I forget about all the frustrations I used to have with glasses and contact lenses.

For a brief history of my prescription and operation see my posting of 27th Nov 2002 on page 10. Suffice it to say, I had very bad eyesight.

I now have 20/20 vision using both eyes in good conditions. Night vision is fine. I notice a difference when I am very tired and in low light, but much better than it was with contact lenses when they would dry out. At first after the surgery I worried constantly about protecting my eyes and whether I had made the right decision or not. I now only worry occasionally and for the most part really enjoy having 'normal' vision. I know Accuvision are expensive and other clinics are hopefully catching up on the technology, but when I had my surgery done, they were the best. They don't have a 100% success rate, but no surgery does. It is a decision that only the individual can make and it really is their responsibilty. My advise would be to wait as long as you can to have the surgery done as there are no long term examples of lasik surgery. If you feel you must have it done, do your eyes a favour and find the best clinic you can regardless of the money as you only have one pair of eyes, but you can buy another pair of glasses if they break.

Don't forget, I am very happy with my results, but I might not have been.

Good luck. Please e-mail me with any questions.
