Having gone through all the usual worries associated with laser eye surgery,should I,will it work out OK,will I have worse vision than before,I've only got one pair of eyes. I finally went ahead and had all the checks/tests and was told I was suitable for Lasik Wavefront. I had my consultation at Stockton and my surgery at Newcastle on the 16th of January, the Surgeon was Mr Lorrimer Esselaar and the results are better than I ever imagined. Less than 24 Hrs on from surgery I can read the bottom line of the Opticians chart with both eyes. My near vision for reading etc has worsened but at 46 years old I was told and was prepared for that, so if things don't settle down it's a pair of £1.99 of the peg readers for me. I had the gritiness and heavy eyelids feeling but this has eased to almost negligible overnight. The goggles I have to wear in bed for the next week take a bit of getting used to though (is this a wind up?) The Surgery itself is quite painless but there were a couple of times when I had what I can only describe as little feelings/sensations nothing more than that. I didn't even notice the "Burning Smell" other people have had when the laser was being used. The worst part for me was my eyes watered like mad but that's not unusual for me thats why I couldn't get away with Contact Lenses. I can only wish you if you are thinking of having it done the same outcome as myself. The only slight negative is I still think its too expensive, my bill was just short of £2000, but saying that it's been money well spent. Thank you to Mr Lorrimer Esselaar and all his team.
1 more thing,be prepared to be sat around for a couple of hours,it's worth the wait "FANTASTIC"
