I have just been for my 9/10 month check up with Mr Sheraz Daya and his team and to put it mildly both they and I are delighted with the results - I know have 6.3 and 6.4 vsision, this is regarded as 'super' vision and basically means that I can read the bottom line of the sight chart! To really put this into perpective, the optician had me try some 'glasses' which showed me exactly what I came in with last January - I could not believe that I had really been that blind! I cannot remember my precise prescription but it was nearly 5 in one eye and 4 in the other, with very severe astigmatism.

I noticed the comments from Trevor about lack of entries against CfS and this also surprises me as I know how many operations Mr Daya has performed. I can only assume that CfS are not as commercially active as some of the other clinics - they certainly do not advertise in FHM or Cosmo! Remember when you are going to CfS you are going to one of this countries leading eye hospitals which has a world renowned reputation.

Reading the comments from many of the other clinics entries on this site, there seems to be a high proportion of pain, discomfort, dryness and general concern from patients even though they give very high scores. I experienced none of this and most importantly I knew that there was someone at the end of a phone line and a hospital I could visit at any time if I had any problems/concerns.

I genuinely cannot recommend the procedure, CfS, Mr Daya and his entire support team enough. They are certainly not the cheapest around, in fact I have been shocked by some of the prices I have seen advertised in 'lifestyle' magazines. However, I cannot think of a more important medical procedure than having your eyes cut open and to look for somewhere to have this done that is not attached to a very well established and competent medical facility seems naive in the extreme.

If you are considering LASIK, I urge you to find the money and go and see CfS as soon as possible!

I am happy to share my experiences further with anyone who wishes to contact me by e-mail.
