I have just had my 9 month follow up with Vincenzo Maurino at Moorfields. My prescription has gone from -3.50 L and -5.50 R with astigmatism to perfect vision in the L and +0.25 R. I have worn glasses since I was 10 years old and now at 42 am able for the first time to swim, walk in the rain, jump out of bed without glasses and wear cool sunglasses for the first time in 32 years. I had EpiLasik Wavefront which means a longer recovery period, you don't get the instant clear vision of the other procedures but it involves a shallower impression on the epithelial cells of the eye and leaves no inherent weakness in the structure of the cornea etc. Not even an eye surgeon could tell I have had an operation if they checked my eyes now. So if you are active and have a week or so to allow your eyes to recover this is the operation to have. The operation involved no pain at all and the only sensation i felt was the equivalent of a brief pressure like someone gently brushing a fingertip across my hand. I have had haircuts that hurt more and took longer !!!! Vincenzo is a expert in his field and respected in both the UK and Italy. He is happy to see you and any time if you have any questions, is one of the younger of the Surgeons and has given me superb aftercare. I have been waiting over 15 years for the procedures to evolve and improve and paying to attend Moorfields where the surgeons are all experts in real eye problems and not just cosmetic procedures is well worth the expense as we only have the one set of eyes. Don't risk it on the high street. I would recommend Vincenzo and his optician as the most thorough, professional and pleasant medical professionals I have met anywhere in the world.
