    Had Lasik Wavefront on 14 July at 12.30 with Mr Gartry at Moorfields. Left eye was -4 with an astigmatism and my right eye was -6. After 2 days it would seem that my left eye has probably 20/20 vision and my right eye is even better. I am extremely pleased.

    The operation was painless and efficient and slightly production like which was strangely reassuring as so many people were having this surgery done. Mr Garty told me I should not have spoken to him whilst the cornea flap was being cut, being an important part of the operation. However I was not really too aware that this was being done as I felt at ease with everyone there. The initial drops prior to the op sting a little but nothing too much.
    You can see after the op but it is a bit like your glasses are slightly steamed up. By the evening I could see very well, enough to have been satisfied even if it never got any better. There was a slight haziness but this was probably due to a bottle of wine being downed whilst relaxing and watching a movie.By the next morning my sight was very good. Slight dryness in eyes and slight halos around lights but nothing serious.

    As a previous person mentioned Mr Gartry does not offer much information without being asked but when asked he answers questions fully and you are aware of his knowledge and experience. I didn't want a sales person, I wanted honest and realistic advice and felt that I got it.

    Like every thing else you have to do a bit of your own research to satisfy yourself that you have amde the right decision. I wasn't that bothered with wearing glasses before but felt confident in the procedures, Mr Gartry, and my own research regarding my suitability.
