I had the LASKEK procedure performed with my prescription being -5 & -5.25. initially I was concerned about having LASKEK rather than LASIK as I did not find much information about peoples experiences on the internet. I could not have LASIK as the thickness of my cornea was not suitable.
Optical Express picked up on the fact that I had scaring on one of my eyes that could potentially lead to an increased risk of hazing. Before they would continue they sent me for a second opinion and based on this they gave me all the information to make an informed decision.
The procedure was quick and painless. Every step of the procedure was explained carefully and proceeded at a pace that I was happy with. I had an initial recovery period of approximately 3 days. At my 4 day checkup I had borderline driving quality vision. I have just had my 6 week checkup and have found that I can now read the line on the test that is two rows smaller than that required for driving ability. I have not experienced any haze for nightime vision.
I though the experience would be rather daunting but it was a whole lot better than I'd anticipated. I cannot beleive the difference now with not having to wear glasses or contact lenses. It's not until you don't have to live with it that you realise how much of a bind they were, wished I'd have had it done sooner!!
