I had my eyes operated on by Dr Alex Ionides in march 2007, after years of investigation & research... I got to the end of wearing glasses, breaking them, and contacts were uncomfortable, so I sold my motorbike to pay for surgery.. I used this site to make my decision. I chose Moorfields as they are deemed World leading...
Dr Alex Ionides at first seemed abit washy, felt at times he did not answer my questions as direct as I would have liked, however he always replied to my emails and was very open and helpful..
Anyway, I had -3.5 in both eyes, I had the surgery, all done in about 15 mind and within3 hours I could read a licence plate across the road..... Amazing, the after drops are a slight inconvenience but a small price to pay..... once the course finished I used dry eyes drops for a few months....
I would have surgery again tomorrow if I needed, I would not hesitate.. the guy did a sterling job, perfect vision, heeled well, very little star gaze at night etc...
I do find my vision deteriorates noticeably more when I am tired these days or if I am doing sports in the wind or dust my eyes get dryer than I remembered pre op, but otherwise the best 3k I ever spent, I would not hesitate to do it again... It was like a new life for me, its changed my life for sure... Ritchie
