Hi
Had my treatment (Lasik wavefront) on Tuesday 5 September at Bluewater. What can I say, hardly any waiting around they test your eyes twice before the actual procdure to make sure you can still go ahead. Staff were brilliant very helpful and kind explained each step and understood that it was nervous for us waiting, it was good to know that some of the staff there had undergone the treatment themselves so it was peace of mind. Before the procdure the surgeon explained again the procdure and what to expect again although very nervous I wanted to understand what was about to happen. A nurse offered to hold my hand and once in the laser room it was very quick. No pain at all, the eyes are held open by an object that is springy and if you struggle against it may be uncomfortable but I felt no pain and relaxed after the first eye was done as I then knew what to expect on the second eye. Eyes wanted to close about 15 minutes after the procdure. Straight after the treatment I was put into a dark room then checked by a nurse then by the surgeon drops went in and then I was given the all clear to go. Like I say eyes wanted to close so I had a lay down, eyes felt a little gritty for about 2 hours but slept it off. After about 5 hours eyes felt good not dry or gritty and I had good vision that improved as the day wore on. The next day I could see everything which is brilliant and was given the all clear to drive at the 24 hour check, I was told that I had 20 20 vision but vision will still improve over the next few weeks. This has been the best thing I have done better than glasses or contacts feel as if I have some freedom for the first time having worn glasses for 20 years. If you are thinking of having it done then go for it, prices are better than other places £1400 was the total price for me but will differ from person to person but if you weigh up the cost of glasses and contacts over the years its worth it. I would recommend Bluewater for treatment.
