Mr Pillai and staff ensure that the procedure is not at all uncomfortable and I appreciate the “running commentary” at each stage. My overall vision was immediately dramatically improved and now my long sight is fantastic with colours and definition much enhanced. The downside is that after the protective contact lenses were removed (after the LASEK treatment) my near vision got much worse. I realised that I would need glasses for reading but a present I still need them for doing household tasks, have problems at work (I am a chef), can’t see to put make up on etc…. I did not anticipate this but understand this may improve as the healing process continues. I hope so !!!
