    I had my wavefront lasik surgery on the 22nd June 06 at the new Nottingham clinic.
    My first consultation was excellent, all info given and all questions answered. Given date for op as 21st June. Arrived for appointment and due to a wavefront machine malfunction was sent sent home until the next day. Now although this wasn't a huge problem it did mean extra days off work for me and my hubby and even more parking fees not to mention the anxiety and nerves!!!! But at least they were ensuring quality with there machines. The bit that did bother me was the noticeable lack of confidence in the staff when trying to overcome the problem and advise the patients of what was happening. All that aside my vision is apparently better than 20/20 although I have advised them that although one day it is pretty good other days are pretty blurry!!! Apparently this is due to dry eyes and should improve over the next few weeks. The procedure itself was a doddle would not worry if I had to go through that bit again and yes it was like a bad poke in the eyes for 2 hours after which you are advised to try and sleep through, 2 paracetamol and I was out having a meal some 5 hours afterwards. Bearing all this in mind I am happy so far with the results and hope to be thrilled with even more improvements over the next few weeks. Oh and by the way the surgeon Stefan was great no probs there. (I think thats the important bit) I am sure the staff at Notts will be alot more confident when the clinic has been running a few more months. Will post an update to advise if the dry eyes get better in a few weeks or so. (Just in case anybody needs any reassurance)
