For your reference I would confirm my distance and near vision is (in my humble opinion) very good and would say that it is better than when I wore my varifocal glasses. And sometimes, if the wind is in the right direction (to avoid risk of permanent squint)I can read without the need for glasses. I experienced no real discomfort following the treatment, not even from bright sunlight and we have plenty of that here in Azerbaijan. The only downside was the complaints from my wife who became frustrated at hearing my constant verbal updates of my quickly improving eyesight and asked me to stop, which I totally ignored.

On visiting Mr. Wade he appeared to be more excited than I was at the success of my laser treatment and having first obtained my consent invited two of his associates to view my eyes. He was even more impressed when he learnt that I had previously had RK treatment in 1989.
I really thought he was going to have an emotional organism (if such an experience is possible) and I began to realise what my wife was having to put up with. Mr. Wade informed that my eyesight was the equivalent to the minimum required to join the RAF - although I have no desire to join. I had originally wanted to be able to drive without the need for glasses and believe my expectations have been exceeded.

I have recommended laser treatment and Advanced VisionCare services to all who have an interest or who are prepared to listen to me. Almost all are amazed to learn how quickly the process takes (I calculate a maximum of 2-1/2 minutes per eye from start to finish and if it is longer it certainly didn't appear to be). With Lasik there was no pain either during the process or after the treatment. On the day of the treatment I spent the afternoon with my wife in central London and although my sight was hazy it did not stop us from shopping in Oxford Street, and my noting that the price of a dress or shoes was expensive when asked for
my opinion (she got her revenge by ignoring me). In the evening we
walked to Covent Garden for a meal in a restaurant followed by 1 (or was it 4) pints of Guinness in a nearby pub. I had no difficulty sleeping but that has never been a problem for me and may have been helped by the Guinness. I could watch television although it was blurred but watchable and could even make out the time on the LED display. I did note that my eyesight varied over the first two weeks and at one time could clearly read unaided that my watch was "Swiss Made" which is now difficult to read even with glasses. I consider my eyesight reached 90% of its current level within 14 days of the laser treatment

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for all of the consideration and courtesy extended to me during the consultation and treatment stages. I was impressed by the attention to detail given to me and my condition by Mr.Pillai and the professionalism of the Advance VisionCare staff. Should you receive enquiries from anyone who has previously had RK and is seriously considering laser treatment, but is apprehensive; I would confirm my willingness for my details to be given to the interested person. They are welcome to contact me and I will endeavour to answer all questions which I am able to do so and which is relevant to my particular circumstances.
