Since my last posting things have continued to get better day by day. The dry eye problems kept getting better and I now only use fake tears two or three times a day. Luckily night vision has never really been a problem and my eyes no longer become tired in the evenings. The first couple of weeks after my operation, my vision quality fluctuated quite a lot which at the time is slightly worrying, but not unexpected, this problem has now pretty much dissapeared. All in all I am still really glad I went for the operation and am very grateful to all the team at Manchester Eye Hospital for thier professionalism and friendliness.  More...

Had my surgery last week (Thursday) and I'm so far really pleased with the results. My close up vision is very good and normal daily tasks are not a problem.

I found the whole operation experience rather unsettling, not painful in any way just uncomfortable. I think that it was that I did a bit too much research, so when I was lying there I was trying to work out everything that they were doing and how it was all working, but the staff were all brilliant, constantly explaining everything and re-assuring me. The strong smell of yo ...  More...

I recently had my first consultation at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (Centre for vision) for possible laser eye correction. The consultation was very thorough, detailed and informative and made the two other consultations that I had at other surgeries seem rushed and diagnoses set on company attributes rather than medical reasoning. All of the eye tests taken at the centre were much more detailed and explained than at either of the two other companies. Part of the examination was carried out by the operating surgeon who also took the time to answer my massive list of questions that I had amassed from over zealous research. At my other consultations there was no opportunity to see ...  More...
