To Anyone considering Laser Vision Correction...

The decision to have laser eye surgery was a big one for me and I had been contemplating it for 4 years.
As a Dentist any failure in vision could have jeopardized my career and that was my primary concern.

I am also keen on Martial Arts and was concerned by the possible risk of traumatic injury to the Lasik flap. Various other clinics had conflicting opinions on this but none were totally convincing or reassuring.

I carried out a vast amount of research talking to many eye clinics, opticians, patients and the internet.

I did bombard the Advance Visioncare team with questions via phone calls and email but Lela, Donna and Mark very patiently answered them and never seemed put off by my constant badgering. Mr. Pillai even called me back to answer some queries and I felt confident enough to proceed with treatment.
All the way thro’ from initial assessment to treatment to aftercare it truly was a “Personalised Laser Treatment”

I opted to have Lasek and was worried about after pain and light sensitivity. I needn’t have worried as the treatment was quick and pain free. I travelled home by train and was able to see the countryside and even watched TV in the evening!!

At my 5 day review my bandage contact lenses were removed and I was passed fit to drive. I resumed dentistry after 10 days though I could have returned earlier.

At 2 week review I was 20:20 vision!!
I never had any night vision problems and no dryness (though I kept using the drops as recommended).
The only downside was tired eyes towards the evening.

I would like to thank the team for their care and especially to Lela for her patience.
And a big thanks to Mr. Pillai for his clinical expertise and for giving me freedom from glasses and contact lenses.

I have great trust in Mr. Pillai and would definitely recommend him to anyone.
