I looked into having Laser surgery 5+ years ago, and decided against it as I was early 40's and didn't think I would benefit much from Laser Surgery as I would end up having to wear reading glasses. At that stage my research pointed to the Centre For Sight in East Grinstead, purely for the reason that all their surgeons are Cornea trained and the best in the industry - and they seem to sort out other peoples mistakes!. Anyway, approaching 50 next year, I decided to take another look when a friend reported excellent results and no pain in the spring of 2009. I went along to the Seminar first of all, and then went for a 1 to 1 cosultation which was very thorough and professional doing every sort of measurement and examination.

I was very happy with the Centre for Sight, but my main worry was that in order to really benefit from not having to wear glasses at all i.e. even for reading I would need to have mono vision. This is where one eye is lasered for close up i.e. reading and one is lasered for long distance. They do this a lot in America, but for some reason not many people in the UK do it. You have to train your brain a bit, but it doesn't take long, and I had also worn contact lenses similar to this.

Anyway, they listened to my concerns and I asked if I could speak with a couple of people who had undertaken mono vision. It took around a week, and Dr Daya's wife kindly found 2 people I could phone. Both were very happy with mono vision, and both had no problems.

I booked the surgery the following day. When the day came I was very nervous sitting outside waiting, but the procedure was very quick and I can honestly say there was no pain at all. The day after surgery for my check up I had 20/20 vision and I drove the day after my check-up and can honestly say that I am delighted with the results.

Two months after surgery I went on holiday to Greece, and it felt really strange not having to pack lots of contact lenses, fluid and 2 pairs of glasses - I was free from all this!.

So, I now do not need reading glasses or glasses for driving.

I would whole heartedly recommend Dr Daya, his wife and the whole team who are very professional.

You only get one pair of eyes, and I decided to go the the best and not take any risks. I used the Interest Free Credit, which was helpful to spread the costs.

Happy to speak with anyone who wants to discuss the procedure. Contact me via Centre for Sight.
