I had LASIK on both eye's on the 22nd of March under Mr Daya, following two failed attempts with another clinic. I was very, very, very nervous as I found the first two procedures very painful and left me bruised for at least a week. The atmosphere at East Grinstead (Royal Vic) was professional, relaxed and welcoming. The whole team where fantastic - a special thankyou to Rose who identified I was nervous and held my hand throughout the procedure (sorry if I broke any fingers!).I am a nurse myself and expect a certain standard of nursing care, this was surpassed. Mr Daya although frustrated with my constant moving (which I was unaware I was doing) has an easy and friendly bed side manner, which other doctors could learn from. I must also say a big thankyou to Linda (the boss), Roxanne and Debbie sorry if I have missed anyone.I am now 7 days on, less then 24hrs post procedure I had 20/20 vision, it was amazing. Driving back to Edinburgh I drove my mother mad reading car registations and signs. I am suffering dry eyes but I was the previous couple of times, so I have that covered. I would say to anyone considering LASIK - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, if I had shopped around and spent a bit more money going to the centre for sight I could have enjoyed this spec free freedom 2 yrs ago. My final comment is, how well run the private and NHS clinics are. They run side by side seamlessly.
