    My original prescription was fairly severe -7 in both eyes plus a slight astigmatism...basically blind as a bat without my glasses!!

    I had Lasek surgery in Glasgow on 17th Dec, operation performed by David Teenan. I was really nervous about the operation and had even went to the doctor a few days before to get some sedatives to calm me down!!! I found this very helpful for getting a good night's sleep before the op and the few hours before. The actual operation was a breeze and i had been worrying excessively about it. There was no discomfort at all and even the eye clamps were absolutely fine. The whole op seemed to only last a few minutes and I could see quite clearly immediately.

    After the op i was waiting for the anesthetic to wear off and the pain to kick in but this never happened. Now 4 days after the operation i can honestly say i have not had to take a single painkiller. This is apparently rare but i was one of the lucky ones. My optician declared that i had 20/20 vision the day after surgery which was absolutely amazing!!!! The only slight hitch i have had was that i woke up this morning to discover my right eye was a bit blurry. I called the optician and was immediately told to come and get checked out for peace of mind. I was told that i have slight haze on the front of my eye but this is part of the normal healing process and should clear with help of the drop provided. I am due to get my bandage lenses out on Saturday (a day behind schedule). At the moment I am over the moon that everything has gone so well, this operation has been life changing. If everything continues to heal up and improve then this is going to be the best Christmas ever!!!

    Thanks to John Fox and Jenni Scott at Cameron Toll and David Teenan in Glasgow....i love my new eyes :-)

    I'd be happy to answer any questions on email
