I went for LASIK surgery on the 24th November, and after being pursuaded by the surgeon, had LASEK. BIG MISTAKE!! I told the surgeon that I had just started a new job, and couldn't afford to take any time off - in the end, I had to take a week off. He also scared me with horror stories with LASIK. Everyone in the waiting room with me wanted LASIK, and everyone ended up having LASEK! It's now a month after surgery. I still can't read number plates and road signs, and have awful dry eye. I use a computer, which is blurry, and end up with headaches most days. I've also been told it can take up to 3 months for my vision to be perfect. I wasn't told about any of this before surgery. The only good thing about Optical Express in Birmingham is the staff - they are very helpful and thorough. Shame I can't say the same for the surgeon, who I feel bullied me into something that wasn't suitable for me. It's a shame when you spend £1390, and don't get the results you are promised.
