The experience of the surgery itself is not much fun - they clip your eye open and shine bright lights in it - definitely not for the claustophobic - but there is no pain and the results are pretty much instantaneous.

In terms of outcome the surgery has been excellent - absolutely perfect vision - up from medium short sight and astigmatism. One slight side-effect is that lights at night "halo" slightly - which makes night driving difficult.

Optical Express staff were fantastic throughout - and the aftercare has been superb.

On balance, I would recommend it to anyone
