I had my consultation at Optical Express in Chelmsford & my surgery at the Cambridge branch on 28th July. I had LASIK Advanced CustomVue Wavefront + Intralase. I thought I may as well do it right if I was going to do it at all! I wanted the surgery done for my forthcoming wedding on 30th Aug. The clinic was busy. Waited around quite a bit but was told to leave myself 3 hours, which was about right. The surgery itself was quite uncomfortable (only having the flap created). The pressure from the suction wasn't very pleasant. Was worse in my right eye (which had the higher prescription). The laser itself was painless. Afterwards my eyes were sore. Felt very gritty & runny. Right eye was quite bloodshot (bruised) too. Hoped it would go inside a week like they said it would (and it has). Couldn't believe the difference even the next day & they have just got better each day. Used my drops & wore my goggles religiously for a week (Wouldn't like to think I'd had to have worn them for 6-8 weeks though as I read from someone else!) Have just had my week post op appt. They are delighted with my eyes. Not as much as me though........ Worth every penny! DO IT!
