Just been for consultation in Birmingham. Staff were very nice and only thing I was slightly suspicious of is that when I was looking at the patient comment books, the current one was only started in July. When I asked about the previous one I was told it had 'gone missing'!!

In reply to Angela Beales I gather the 'suction' is the method of removing the flap of cornea prior to performing the actual procedure.

Can anyone who has had it done comment on exactly how uncomfortable the procedure is???
