I have worn glasses since the age of 12 and cannot believe that I did not do this sooner!! I am now 34.
I had my consultation last week, my surgery yesterday, and my post op checkup today. I cannot believe how easy it was. I was so nervous leading up to the surgery but there was no need to be. Joanne, Susan and Dr J Carr at the Shaftesbury Avenue branch did wanders. I can not being to thank them enough. After my initial consultation I decided to go with OE because of their thoroughness and friendliness. I had been to 2 other providers and even though one of them came very close OE made me feel a lot more comfortable. On the day of my surgery I was absolutely shaking, even though I had read so many reviews about how simple the procedure was. There was no need to worry, Dr J Carr was absolutely brilliant, he re-checked my eyes and talked me through the procedure again. During the procedure he calmed my nerves down by talking me through every single step, before I knew it it was over!! I took a taxi home with a friend keeping my eyes closed for the whole journey. Once home I went to bed and just kept them closed. My pain threshold is very low so was frightened about how much pain I was going to be in but to be honest, it was just uncomfortable, it felt like onions stinging our eyes. When I opened my eyes a little later my bedroom clock said 6:49 – that’s 6:49 I haven’t been able to see my digital clock without glasses, in my bedroom since I don’t know when.
This morning I felt like I was viewing the world through fresh eyes. At my checkup Susan confirmed that my sight was already at 20/20 and it could still improve! All I can say is if you are thinking about getting this done, don’t just think about it – do it ?
