This is a one month follow up on my Wavefront guided LASEK operations.

The slight discomfort I had felt during the second week was sorted out with another bottle of anti-inflammatory drops. Apparently Mr Stevens prefers to use drops for only one week after LASEK, while other surgeoans use them for longer, up to a month. There is a trade off between using the drops for comfort and the side effect of the drops which delays healing. But using the drops for another week instantly sorted out any discomfort.

I no longer use any drops, nor do I have even the slightest discomfort. It is now 5 full weeks since the operations and as expected, vision continues to improve.

My left eye no has 6/5 vision while the right is approaching 6/6. I have thrown away the glasses and contacts and associated fluids. Night vision is astonishingly good. I punish my eyes with a lack of sleep, and uber smoky eastern european bars. Yet there is no dryness, no glare, no halos, no starbursts at night.

This total absense of some of the typical, negative side effects of laser eye surgery are one of the primary reasons I went to Julian Stevens. Its these little differences that make the difference for me.

After all, there are a thousand places that can do your eyes, and make a dramatic improvement in your eyesight. Its easy to make the big dramatic differences. But how many of them get the smaller things right, like avoiding side effects, almost every time? And how many of them get such top quality results while deliberately taking the hard cases? Thats where the quality of Moorfields and Stevens in particular comes in to it.

As someone below mentioned, you only have one set of eyes, and if you can get to see the top surgeon in the country, at the best equipped centre in the country, then why wouldnt you go to him?
