I had LASIK done on 10th December in the Birmingham Clinic, with Dr George. My prescription was -4.25 in both eyes, which was too high to have mono treatment, and the scariest thing about the whole procedure for me was the fact that I did have both eyes done at the same time. The results so far, after 2 weeks, are amazing. I had better-than-20:20 vision after less than 24 hours, and this is still the case. The procedure was a bit nerve-wrecking, but absolutely painless. And it only takes a few minutes (nothing compared to the 3 hours we all had to wait in the waiting room), and immediately after I could read the time on the clock. Without my glasses, I wouldn't have even seen the wall, let alone read the time! I found that the main discomfort only lasted for about 3 hours, which I spent sleeping anyway. After that, I wore my sunglasses for about 1.5 days, but really didn't have any discomfort to speak of. I didn't need any painkillers. The discomfort was completely gone after less than a week, and I even stopped taking the artifial tears after 10 days. I only use them now first thing in the morning. I am obviously really pleased and have recommended this treatment to many colleagues (it's amazing how many people are keen to do this but hesitate to take the 'risk'). I am aware of the possibility that my sight might still deteriorate again in a few months or a year or so, but I know I could then have a top-up operation, and in any case, it's unlikely to go back to what it was like. I thought the web-information on my consultant, Mr George, didn't do him justice. He is obviously really experienced and the team know exactly what they're doing. So, thank you to the Birmingham team.
