I had lasik eye treatment at the beginning of January in Birmingham (Mr George) after an intitial consultation in Nottingham - no complaints - all went much as others have indicated and my eyesight is about 20/20 BUT - if, like me, you were short sighted and also needed reading glasses because of ageing eyes (I'm 57) and wear vari/bifocals)but could read without glasses before the operation, after surgery you will find you need off-the-shelf reading glasses. They are cheap and no problem to find but for the less active it may be worth considering whether the excahnage of existing optical aids for another is worth the cost. The final decision will probably be down to vanity!
