I have needed glasses from aged 10yrs(I am now 40). Without glasses everything had become colours and indistinct shapes (-6.75D, and -8D). I had been knocked back from Boots, and was more concerned that Mr Daya might say that I was not a suitable candidate for LASIK. He, and his entire staff were first class, and at the end of a very comprehensive assessment I was relieved that I was OK for treatment. Mr Daya suggested I wait for intralase zyoptix, and I was also one of the first ones to have this procedure in the UK. Apart from feeling that someone was pouring bleach into my eyes for approx 4 hours afterwards it went much better than I had imagined. The transformation I can only say is immense. I now see 6/6, and 6/5 and each day is like Xmas at the moment. To wake up and see the time on the alarmclock, and to see the lightswitch on the other side of the bedroom without fumbling around for my specs is very special. I expect to need reading glasses at some point, but I am more than happy to accept this as a consequence of the operation. I would wholehartedly recommend this to those of you considering this, especially if you are as blind as I was. Good luck
