Having my eyes lasered was the best decision I have ever made. I could see virtually straight after surgery and by the next day - perfect vision. I thought my eyes were good with my contacts/glasses, but after surgery you can actually see how distorted contacts/glasses make everything. I am over the moon, I can't believe that I will not have to worry about looking for my glasses before going to work every day, or ordering contact lenses, and the best part is that I wake up, I do not need glasses, I can see the clock, I look out of the window and see the bird feeders with great spotted woodpeckers without binoculars, and everything has more depth and definition. Even driving without glasses/lenses is fantastic and my night vision is amazing.

I look forward to doing all the other things I have done (as I only had my eyes lasered Sat 24th November 2007 and I am not allowed to do any sport etc for a couple of weeks) tennis, holidays around the pool etc with new eyes.

I would also like to praise Miss Espinosa my surgeon who was amazing, in more ways than just being a surgeon, and all the staff at Centre for sight at East Grinstead hospital, who had a very calming, efficient friendly approach to the whole experience, which is obviously individually tailored (with all their equipment to give your correct prescription for day and night vision).

I think that any one contemplating laser eye treatment, as long as the surgeon says they are suitable, should not hesitate to have the experience of complete freedom. And may I add I personally did not experience any pain during the procedure or after, to date.
