After wearing glasses and contact lenses for over 25yrs, i found Birkdale Clinic, in Dec of last year. The people there were proffessional and helpful. The operation was painless and took less than 20mins. My left eye did go back to its original perscription after a few weeks and i was quite upset, but Birkdale saw me straight away and said they would assess me more frequentley to see how it progressed. After 3 months my eye was retreated. I am now extreamley happy as my eyesight is now perfect, i do get odd times where they are dry, but a few eyedrops soon solves the problem. I can now do all my sports, free from cumbersome glasses and irriatable contact lenses . Thankyou Birkdale Clinic  More...

I went to the Crosby branch in March for a consultation. I was seen by the actual surgeon who did my eyes, he explained things very clearly and gave me alot of information about the risks. I will say I did not expect quite as much information, however it was reassuring that he was painting the whole picture - warts and all. I then spent sometime with a patient advisor, who told me all about the aftercare amd the treatment day, so I was aware of what to expect. Most advertisments say it quick, easy and painless, but they do not point out that you can't wear make up for a little or go swimming. I went away with information to support the consultation, after a week of thinking about it I de ...  More...

i had worn glasses for all my teenage life and absoultely hated them. Though my prescription wasn't that bad I needed them for driving but often went out without them because they were such a nuisance. I heard about laser eye sight correction but was a bit dubious so i scanned the internet and found that the Birkdale Clinic was very close to where I lived, collecting all the information I could, I rang Birkdale for an information pack which was very comprehensive, if a bit long. It was the refreshing non-aggressive attitude that they took, which led me to book for a consultation. I was reassured by the fact that Birkdale Clinic work out of their own private equipped hospitals. I rang Cl ...  More...

I was very attracted to this place because of its excellent price. I had a very good LASIK consultation - (spent about 40mins with me) however, I was told that Birkdale didn't have the machines to perform a low risk operation. Was told to try other places and did. Although I could't doubt Birkdales friendlyness and honesty, they are really 2 years behind other companies (technology) and have "limited" machines etc  More...

I was treated at the Crosby Clinic on 9th January. I had Lasek treatment as after the consultation I was not suitable for Lasik. The treatment went as described by the consultant and post op I had good vision from both eyes but it then deteriorated for 4 days. The 4 day recovery period with 'bandage' contact lenses was painful and very light sensitive but after 7 day my vision was improving daily and I was over the light sensitivity. Now 3 weeks post op my eyes are perfect and I have better vision than my husband !. The best Christmas present I have had or likely to have.  More...
