Surgery was on 6 November 2009. I opted for standard bi-lateral surgery and am thrilled. I was a little apprehensive initially having chosen the standard option but I didn't need anything extra and it was fine. The full procedure took less than 10 minutes for both eyes. My vision was clear almost immediately. Surgery was carried out at Optical Express Newcastle upon Tyne. The surgeon was wonderful. Full cost should have been £790 but I received a £250 discount voucher, leaving me to pay just £540.
