I am delighted with my laser eye surgery and new corrected vision. I had complete faith in Mr Allen; I just felt he was a safe pair of hands. It is possible to get laser eye surgery for less money but I felt confident walking into theatre for the surgery knowing it was a highly experienced surgeon at the top of his game who would be carrying it out. It was so quick, and I had a couple of hours discomfort that day but after that it was fine. No more glasses or contact lenses - freedom! I love it.  More...

After much research, and a few consultations, the reviews here led me to Moorfields and an appointment with Dr Allan. I had a number of questions and doubts that were answered quickly and professionally. Ultimately, the decision to choose Moorfields came down to the reassurance of a consultation with the surgeon that would carry out the procedure (not possible with other clinics), the best possible equipment, surgical expertise and aftercare (if a follow-up surgery was needed). On the day, the procedure went well. It was not painful at all, thanks to the drops, and the team were great. I only experienced brief dizziness when sitting up immediately afterwards, a result of my nerves in the sit ...  More...

My treatment was truly life-changing. As the weeks and months go on my sight is improving all the time. I only suffered from a 'haze-effect' or 'light-scatter' at night in the first few weeks after my treatment (which is normal) and now I have no problems. I don't even suffer from dry eyes, which as a contacts wearer before, was always an issue. Nothing can prepare you for that wonderful moment when you wake up the day after your surgery and you can see for the first time, without scrambling for your glasses. If you are considering surgery then I'm sure you've done a lot of research and I can wholeheartedly encourage you to go ahead with it. I was so nervous on the day of my surgery but ...  More...

Since this site helped me with my choice in getting laser eye surgery I thought I would give my feedback from my experience in the hope it may helps others decide. I've just come back from my 3 month check after having Lasek on both eyes to correct -2.5 and -2.75 and I'm overjoyed with the results. While the Lasek procedure itself takes a little longer to heal than the Lasik procedure (I chose to go for Lasek over Lasik after doing my research) my eyesight is now excellent, better than 20/20 vision. For me, deciding to have the surgery at Moorefield's was the only option given their history and expertise in the field of ophthalmology, despite them being more expensive than most oth ...  More...

Bruce Allan and his team did an excellent job on my eyes. I felt confident in their abilities throughout. There was a thorough initial eye test and assessment including a meeting with Mr Allan where I was encouraged to ask any questions. On the day of surgery everything went very smoothly and during the actual procedure Mr Allan talked through what he was doing and what I should expect to see and feel which helped immensely. Recovery afterwards was amazingly quick. I went for a check up the following morning and then went to work. Puting the eye drops in for 4 weeks afterwards was a bit of a hassle, but well worth it for my now better than 20:20 vision eyes! I couldn't be more pleased!  More...
