I have waited until after my 3 month check-up to post a report on this site. I had tissue saving surgery at Centre for Sight in June, having worn glasses for 25 years or so (prescription around -4.0 plus astigmatism). I had been following developments in eye surgery ever since the days of Russian radial keratomy, and earlier this year finally reached the conclusion that the technology was sufficiently advanced/safe to go for it.

The care and attention at Centre for Sight was, and remains, excellent. The results are also spectacular: 20/20 in one eye, and something close to 20/15 in the other. Reading is harder work than it used to be, but I was thoroughly warned about this by my surgeon Dr Daya, and at age 50 it is to be expected.

The surgery itself is totally painfree and is over almost before it even starts. For me, the following few days were rather harder work than expected, because to follow the eyedrop regime religiously (which you must) is not easy in a busy working environment. Most people on this site are understandably very pre-occupied with the surgery itself, when in fact it's the following week or so when you need to take care and be sensible. Now, however, three or four months on, I am continually amazed at my vision which is as good, sometimes even better, than my childrens'!

I just wish I'd had it done sooner.
