Mr. Allamby and Horizon were the last of many clinics I had been to. I'm glad I perservered. Mr. Allamby brought all the information that I needed to know together whereas the other clinics only seemed to give parts of the info. He answered all my questions, was patient and genuinely took an interest in the best possible solution to my shortsightedness. He even gave me the solution/cure to the re-occurent blepharitis that I had been suffering with for 9 years which gave me dry, itchy eyes including cysts. He would'nt perform any surgery until this condition cleared up...unlike other clinics, who were only too happy to get it done and bank my cash. It was worth seeing Mr. Allamby for this alone. I eventually had lasek on both eyes in April '05. Everything that I experienced did NOT come as a surprise or shock as I was very well informed by Mr. Allamby. Yes, I was a little anxious. No, the procedure did not hurt. Yes, my eyes were uncomfortable, gritty and watering for 5 days til the protective lenses came out. Yes, my vision did not stabalise for 4 weeks. Yes, I was driving and back at work the monday after the procedure. And yes, I did follow the course of eye drops religously for the required 3 months. Now I have near perfect vision. I am looking out my office window and can see a shop sign at least 200 meters away and what it says. My left eye is slightly better than my right, in fact, a week after the surgery it was very good in my left but my right eye is now almost the same.I have some halo-ing at night but this is improving. In conclusion, I would recommend Horizon and particularly Mr. Allamby to anybody considering laser surgery. I have recommended family and friends to him as I am that confident that it will be the best thing they have done for a very long time. I am 99% satisfied that I received the best treatment and I am awarding 5 stars to Horizon. If the treatment was free then I would be 100% satisfied. If like me you do the research before having this procedure done, on one of the most precious parts of your body, you will arrive at Horizon's door.
