    After reading the various ratings and comments posted at this website for the Centre for Sight, I decided to book myself in for a consultation and for the surgery the following day, provided that I proved to be suitable. (16-01-04) The initial consultation was at the clinic located on Queen Anne Street in London. My initial impressions were that the staff were excellent and that the premises were clean, well decorated and welcoming. During this initial day, I met with Mr Daya and found him to be very helpful and professional. The results of the consultation were positive and i was clear to go for the surgery the next day. Following the consultation, it had been decided that as well as the regular Wavefront Laser Eye Surgery, I would be a good candidate for the Zyoptix laser treatment also. This was to help correct problems I was having with my night vision due to a lack of clarity and the halo effect that I would get around lights at night, around car headlights for example. (17-01-04) The surgery took place at the Queen Victoria Hospital at East Grinstead. From the time of arrival at the hospital to the actual time of surgery, it does take a bit of time and any people accompanying the patient should bring a book and be prepared to wait. For the patient the time is needed for preparations and seems to pass quickly. The actual surgery is not painful but i would describe it as uncomfortable. I know this sound ambiguous but it really doesn’t hurt. The procedure seems relatively quick and only takes about 45 minutes. It is apparently quicker without Zyoptix. After the surgery there is some soreness but this isn’t unbearable and fades within an hour, after which there is an initial post-op eye check. Don’t necessarily expect miracles at this stage but there are noticeable results! You are advised to try and keep your eyes closed for a few hours after the surgery so you will need some company. My Dad accompanied me and when trying to find our coach home from Victoria Station in London, only roughly 2-3 hours after surgery, I was able to peek occasionally and notice the improvement in clarity and my range of vision such as signs were in focus and I spotted the coach first! Also, on the coach I could already see very positive results regarding my night vision as it was dark by this stage and occasional glances showed a marked improvement in night vision clarity and a reduction in the halo effect. Within a week my vision was re-checked at the Centre for Sight and was confirmed to be 20/15 in both eyes!! The results are everything I could have hoped for and probably more. Everything seems so much more detailed and now night driving, which used to be quite daunting, is no problem. I had another check at the Centre on Friday (20-02-04) and was confirmed to be 20/15 in my left eye but had improved to 20/10 in the other. I would definitely recommend the Centre for Sight to anyone who cares enough about their eyes to try and get the best treatment available.
