I have Lasek surgery on the 21st January 2005. I arrived at the Manchester clinic at 2.15pm on the 21st and only had to wait a couple of minutes before I was seen. I had to have my eyes checked by the surgeon (Mr Khan) and then i was ready for my Surgery. It was a little stramge at first but the staff made me feel at ease and even held my hand as i was terrified. The surgery took about 14 minutes with the laser on each eye for just over a minute. The procedure was not painful although felt very strange. I could see a little clearer afterwards but was told that might sight would get better in the following days. I felt tired when i got home and went straight to bed. The morning after my eyes were swollen and felt like a burning sensation in my eyes. I must warn you, if you are having Lasek surgery it is quite painful afterwards, but i am glad i have done it. My eyes were -5.00 in both eyes and I can see so clear now. Good Luck!!!!!!
