Ultralase

Fantastically impressed by the whole service. I have a positive/negative astigmatism in my right eye which proved to be no problem at all. A very thorough initial check, 10 minutes of mild discomfort ( I've had haircuts that were more painful ) and then two hours of "gritty eyes". After that I've had no problems, no discomfort, no dry eyes - just fantastically clear vision. My right eye is currently 18/20, the left is 21/20. I would gladly pay ten times the price for the results - I cannot recommed Ultralase or Mr Gupta highly enough.

Been researching laser surgery for several years and after finding this site with all its useful information, I contacted the Guildford branch for a consultation. Excellent facilities,friendly and experinced staff made me book to have my eyes done on the 19/7/02. I chose Paul Cherry as along with Vinod Gupta they seemed to be the most experienced and my prescription was on the limit (r+4.50 -0.75 l+5.50 -1.25). On the day I was out of the clinic in under 2 hours, no pain ,very little discomfort and clear vision!!!! I was amazed at the result. It is now just over 2 weeks and have been back twice for the checkups and have been told that although I am now very slightly shortsighted this will correct itself in a couple of months.
I cannot praise Ultralase and its staff enough and would highly recommend them to anyone considering laser treatment.
Thanks also to this site as the comments are invaluable.

Had my first Consultation today after looking at this and other sites for ages. This was at the Guildford branch, was very impressed with the staff friendliness and attention to detail in which they were very thorough with the various tests that were carried out and explained everything as we went along.
Have booked my surgery for the 27th August with Mr Vinod Gupta with which they were more than happy to show me a copy of his credentials. I chose Mr Gupta due to the amount of praise received from postings on this site and his qualifications.
I wish to thank the site owners for setting this up as it is very useful and informative of real people and not just company literature.
I also so far would like to thank the staff of Ultralase - Guildford for taking the time to answer all and more of my questions.
Will let you know how i get on after the Op.

I was treated last week in Reading by Mr Vinod Gupta. After 1 hour I could read car reg plates, before surgery I could barely make out the car. The staff were excellent and put me at ease. The proceedure was very quick but uncomfortable. I would recommend Ultralase to anyone.

Had a very strong long sighted presciption with astigmatism (+5.0 -3.00) both eyes. Have done lots of research - this site has been a very valuable source of information and thanks to everyone and I would encourage anyone who has had surgery to share their comments as first hand experience is always the best. I have also visited two other clinics who advertise the fact that they can treat upto my prescription - Ultralase and The Eye Clinic - see those site for comments. Was refused treatment at both of these clinics as I was not guaranteed a 100 per cent correction and that wasnt good for them. My long term expectations were for me to have less reliance on glasses but I wasnt expecting total freedom. After looking at this web site I made an appointment with Accuvision and as I had to travel my consultation was booked and hour before surgery if I was suitable. So on Friday 26th July - three days ago - I went to London and met the most professional people i could possible wish to entrust my eyes to. Had a very thorough consultation with Vik - who seemed confident and reasuring - everything explained - my prescription nothing was guaranteed and i was happy to proceed. So within 20 minutes I was ready to lie under the laser. There were several viewers in the room - from other companies - which I have to say made me feel better because they were viewing what appeared to be an expert. Anyway the procedure itself was over very quickly - the only discomfort (not pain) was the suction and the eye clamps but both are bearable for a short period of time. Joined my husband in the waiting room and kept my eyes shut. The worst bit of the whole day was feeling travel sick in the car because I couldnt get my bearings. By 9pm - six hours post op - I could watch tv across the room. Slept well - with the annoying bee like eye shields. Woke up very early the next morning because I was so excited and had to read something - it was perfect - I couldnt have asked for more. Went for my check at the clinic and I had 20/20 in both eyes - what a result less than 24 hours post op. I have had a bit of blurring - which I was expecting but otherwise no pain at all - eyes are a little dry but the drops work well. Have my next check on Friday - will keep you all informed.

Very professional. I had my both my pre & post consultations at Chelmsford and my surgery at Tottenham Court Road, London…Mr Vinod Gupta (surgeon) was fantastic. Best £1700 spent ever!! I was fine afterwards immediately. Even went for Sushi afterwards it was just like a bit of Chlorine after swimming. Top-Tip ***Get a late booking so you can get home and go to sleep** Wake up fine next morning.

Had my treatment on Friday (14/6/02). I found all the staff at Guildford helpful and kind. The treatment was painless and successful as the following day check up shows I now have 20/20 vision.I had some discomfort (lasting only a couple of hours)on Friday evening but believe me its worth it!

I had my eyes done in Hammersmith on 6 June by Vinod Gupta. (I was -3.75 R -1.5 L plus mild astigmatism). Results are fantastic - I now have 6/6 vision and it's so wonderful to be able to see properly! From consultation to post-op everything was fantastic and I couldn't fault the staff. As for the actual op, I was so scared I was almost in tears so I went for a sedative. The nurse, Tracey, was really good at reassuring me and even held my hand during the operation. Throughout the operation everything was explained clearly and everything went extremely smoothly. Probably the worst bit was being able to see the corneal flap flipped back! Mr Gupta is excellent - very reassuring calm & confident - and I felt 100% sure about entrusting my eyes to him. The operation was over in a very short time and the smell wasn't anything like as bad as I had expected - just a faint whiff as if you'd put your arm too close to a gas ring for a few seconds. After lying with eyes closed in a darkened room for 20 mins it was time to go. Didn't really need the sunglasses as my eyes weren't even light-sensitive. The only side effect I had was a gritty feeling which wore off within a few hours, also of course my vision was a bit hazy for a few hours, but no discomfort or anything else. Close-up focus is still a bit funny but that will sort itself out. I've been raving about Ultralase ever since and have been boring everybody senseless with how wonderful it is to be able to see properly. I'd thoroughly recommend Ultralase and in particular Mr Gupta - his reputation is well deserved.

Wow!! I had my second eye done yesterday and I'm still on a high over my 'new' eyes! I can't thank David Jory and all the staff at the surgery enough. I was more nervous this time round, not sure why, but there was no need to be. My prescription in my left eye has gone from -6.5 to +0.25. The second op was more painful, and the pain set in immediately after too. painkillers ensured I had a good nights sleep, though. I am officially no longer a glasses wearer, which gives me great pleasure to write. My eyes are working really well together, and I feel confident enough to drive, even at night. I can now go swimming with my daughter, instead of just watching, take a shower and see the soap, cook without my glasses steaming up, walk in the rain and still be able to see, snuggle up to hubby without my glasses getting in the way, the list is endless. I am so pleased with my result and would happily give 10 stars, if I could. I very nearly went with Accuvision ( the only other place who would accept me), but I value the health of my eyes even more than the outcome of the op and with Microsurgery the risks are minimal. No slicing of the cornea or removing tissue, so no chance of problems connected with these issues in the future. With a bit of luck, I shall be ready to put eye make-up on just in time for Christmas festivities!!

I was treated at Birmingham last month and after the 1st three days my eyesight settled down. I can read to the 5th line with ease ( much better than before) I've had no side effects to speak of and I recommend LASIK to everyone !!
