I'd had glasses and contact lenses for over 10 years and finally got fed up of it. I'd looked into Laser surgery before but when i found out i could have the consultation AND operation done in Inverness i went for it. I phoned up on Friday morning and arranged a consultation for later that afternoon. i went back the next morning and booked the surgery and had it done a week later.
All staff at every stage of the process were friendly and helpful and explained exactly what would happen. It was an extremely quick process - i was in and out in about half an hour. It's not a painful process, just a bit uncomfortable but so so worth it. I spent the first few days wandering around just looking! I must've had eyesite as good as this at some point in my life but i cant remember when. Now I've almost forgotten i ever needed glasses.
The healing process was quick too - i was in the pub celebrating the same day i had it done! (Not sure that's recommended though!). It's great now. No fumbling about for glasses or taking lenses in and out. No more packing for holidays and taking glasses, sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, contact lenses, spare contact lenses, lens cleaning fluid, etc, etc. I can see the time on the clock if i wake up in the night. i dont have to worry about falling asleep with my glasses on if i watch tv in bed.
I would definately recommend both the surgery and Optical Express to anyone considering it. i would also say, don't sit around thinking about it - you'll end up frightening yourself out of doing it. Just go for it. It'll change your life. I cant emphasise this enough. Go on - do it now!
