Anyone who is thinking of having laser eye surgery, get it done!! I only wish I did it years ago, instead of waiting, fearing something would go wrong, it didnt! Thank you Fiona at the Metro Centre you did put my fears to rest, and Emma you were brilliant too. I went to three different consultations, one at Optimax, would not recommend them to anyone, kept me waiting 45 mins no apology, till I looked at my watch, then said I had early signs of cataract, dont go there. The other two said I didnt have cataract. Ultralase were good, service was good too, but their lasers just could not cope with my large pupils, so technology lets them down a little. So Optical Express came to my rescue, my brother had already had his done by them, so I was pretty confident with them anyway. Mr Esselaar the Surgeon is excellent he totally puts you at ease. My reaction when it was done, I could not stop laughing, I could see it was fantastic, Mr Esselaar, said I dont want you to read yet, but I could not stop reading things on the wall etc. the first 4 hours I slept as it does sting a little but after that it just gets better and better the eyesight I mean, the stinging stopped after 4 hours. My check ups have been positive and things have never looked better. I would advise anybody to get it done sooner rather than later. Never having to put contacts in again is great. My son is going to have his done next, I was the guinea pig! Friends are considering it too.
