Had Lasek surgery on Saturday 22nd April 2006 in Birmingham. Appointment was supposed to be for 2:30pm but didn't take me through until after 6pm (make sure you take a good book!). Staff were all very friendly & helpful throughout so wasn't a big problem.
Procedure itself was really strange to say the least, but not at all painful - plus its all over in a matter of minutes. It really is nothing to worry about. No discomfort at all for the first night - just very light sensitive. Over the next two days I suffered a lot of discomfort and my eyes were burning too much to keep them open for more than a few seconds - apparently I was just unlucky :( On day four the pain had cleared and when the lenses were removed the eyes felt fine - very blurred vision though! It is now day 6 and vision is still fairly blurred but improving all the time. Night time vision is fine so far and not experienced a problem with Halo's as yet. Would recommend anyone to go for Lasek at Optical Express (just be prepared to wait a few weeks to see the results).
