How much is eyesight worth? I have been thinking about the possibility of laser eye surgery for some time, but considered it just too expensive - after all, I could wear contact lenses so who would know? In the last few years though, I have found contacts increasingly uncomfortable, and stopped wearing them full time about 2 years ago. With a severe prescription -9 in the right eye with astigmatism, and -11.5 in the left, these were very expensive - but I was advised that lasik would not work for me by some of the high street clinics. A friend recommended Centre for Sight and Mr. Daya. She too had a severe prescription, and in the end had implant surgery. I thought this would be my only option. How wrong I was. Here I am just over 24 hours after having Intralasik Zyoptix Wavefront surgery - typing this message and seeing better than I ever thought possible. I know this will only get better and can't wait for my next eye test! Don't be fooled though - this is not an easy decision to make, but any post operative soreness, which is short lived and aided by plenty of sleep soon after the surgery, is offset by the relief of no longer having eyestrain, tired eyes, and the conviction that I have regained long term eye health. Thank you for ever Mr. Daya, Carolina, Linda and everyone else whose names I can't remember but who were so wonderful, caring, and understanding of my fears, and who shared my absolute joy at being able to see again, after over 40 years.
