I have worn glasses since I was 16 and was aways wary of laser eye surgery. However, Mr Pillai was recommended by a friend and I attended Classic Eyes in Bournemouth in March this year. I am also a television reporter and decided that the whole process would make an interesting feature. On further investigation of the industry I discovered that AdvanceVision Care was indeed the best clinic with an impeccable record and Mr Pillai is highly regarded. So I decided to go ahead with the procedure with every aspect of the progress being filmed. The surgery happened in May and it is a credit to Mr Pillai and his team that the results have been excellent. I was about -3.5 in each eye but had much better than 20/20 vision with glasses. Three months on I now have better than 20/20 vision without glasses. The staff were helpful and reassuring. At all times I was informed what was happening and Mr Pillai was involved all through the process. The procedure was painless. A few hours after the surgery my site was to driving standard and in the evening I was watching tv. By the next day my vision was close to what it is now. Over the next few weeks I did experience some minor focus problems, but apparently this is the eye muscles adapting to the new situation and this has now passed. I also experienced some dryness which manifests itself as a sort of headache behind the eyes. This was controlled with eye drops and is now much better - drops perhaps once every few days.

In conclusion, anyone considering laser eye surgery can have total confidence with Mr Pillai and his company. The service and after-care is excellent. This is a bespoke service - not a conyer belt which appears to be the case elsewhere. Mr Pillai genuinely seems to have his patients welfare as the number one priority. Highly recommended.
