I had a consultation in Birmingham last week, but decided laser surgery's not for me. Be aware that the "counsellor" at your consultation is really a sales person. Do as much internet research on the subject as you can, as you'll get nothing from Optical Express other than good news stories and pressure to book an appointment. Optical Express have since rang me to offer £100 off per eye if I book an appointment before the end of the month. This says it all really! They're in it for commission only - if you do decide to go ahead, make sure you negotiate a discount.
