After 6 months I am reasonably happy. There was a period around 3 months when I was given the impression that the surgery would have to be repeated to achieve good acceptable vision. I have now realised that the problem was more to do with my expectations than the results of the surgery. I was promised good distance vision but told that reading would need simple glasses and that has been achieved. My distant vision is not perfect but I suspect it was not perfect when I wore glasses. Everyone I met at Milton Keynes was helpful and full of good humour which gave me great confidence in their ability. I found Dasi particularly helpful in the recuperative stages, her clear and simple explanations of the problems were an important part of the post-operative period. She was also important in the process of resolving the difference between my expectations and what is achievable. Of course everything is too expensive, cheaper would always be better but I feel that at my age the improvement in vision has been good value for the money.
