As my prescription was -9.5 / - 7.5 with astigmatism of -2.25 in my left eye, Mr Gartry informed me that I would need to have LASEK surgery as it would achieve a better result than LASIK although he could only guarantee me an 80% improvement.
I underwent the surgery 12 days ago and I have to say it has been a life changing experience.
Most people's first question has been to me: does it hurt? The answer is yes, in the 48 hours post operation, it was incredibly painful, the pain does fade by day 3 however the procedure itself is completely painless.
I had my first eye test today and my new prescription is -0.5 and 0 with a slight astigmatism in both eyes...and there is still another 2 1/2 months of improvement to go
