I had LASIK on 18th September with Miss Linda Ficker. The procedure was quick and painless, but I was still grateful to the second doctor (don't know his name) who let me hold his hand (very tightly) throughout! Miss Ficker talked me through the operation which was reassuring. The team of 3 including Miss Ficker were all very professional. Immediately after the operation my eyes were pretty bloodshot (which is normal) and my vision was quite hazy. There was some minor discomfort, but after about 3 hours my eyes felt and looked fine and I've had no problems at all.
My prescription was -6 in my right eye and -7.5 in my left with some astigmatism, but now I don't even need glasses for driving. My left eye is not quite as good as my right, but only marginally. I'm absolutely delighted with the result, seems like a miracle after years of being short-sighted.
