I had my eyes lasered on the 1st August 08 at Silverburn shopping centre and I am now writing this on the Thursday after and all I can say is WOW !!!! it is absolutely fantastic.

On the day of my treatment I was up at 5am, pacing the floor, hanging out the back door to get fresh air, i was seriously panicking - my appointment (luckily) was 8.30am so we had to head off early. I was taken really quickly which was probably because I was there early in the morning, just as I was about to go under the intralase machine, it stopped working, it was nothing to worry about and they soon had it working and took me in again, after all the panicking that I did I couldn't actually believe how simple and quick the procedure was, after both my eyes were treated with the instalase, the surgeon asked what i thought, I said AMAZING - he replied that I was weird for thinking that lol !!! maybe I am but I couldn't not believe how painless and quick it was. My eyes were stingy and watery about 1/2 an hour after the procedure but I was very lucky and had no pain at all other than than that, I could see better after a sleep that afternoon and at night I was watching all my soaps with a glass of wine in my hand.....and with no glasses on !!..which was bliss.
By the time I got up on Saturday I could see so much better, I kept looking out of the window and reading registration plates (how sad) I had a follow up appointment in East Kilbride OE at 10am that morning, when I had my eye test it turned out that my vision was ALREADY better than 20/20 which was FANTASTIC!!! so I was able to drive after that.

I have had dry eyes this week but I know that will take a couple of weeks to die down but I have plenty of drops to put in my eyes anyway and they all help.

I cannot believe that I left having this done for so long, and wish I hadn't got myself into such a state about having the treatment done because it REALLY was quick and painless. The staff who dealt with me at Optical Express were all amazing and very helpful. OK maybe not everyone will be as lucky as I have been with regards to no pain and great sight so quickly but I am just telling my experience which has been fantastic.

I am out this weekend with the girls and looking forward to all the other nights out not having to worry about contacts making my eyes dry, and my twin boys now can't haul my glasses off my face and throw them about (which they were masters at).

Oh yeah and my prescription was -4.75 in both eyes, with astigmatism in my right eye and I paid £2100 for Intralasik.
