I had Wavefront Lasik with intralase in Glasgow. Prescription -2.75 with astigmatism.

I was a bit nervous about the op but found the staff in both Ed/Glasgow very reassuring and patient with my many questions.

Having the clamps holding my eyes open was my biggest concern but this proved to be absolutley simple!The receptionist in the waiting area in Glasgow was very friendly and calm and Donna the nurse with me before and after the surgery was very nice and reassuring. The surgery itself was carried out very efficiently and was over before i knew it.

Afterwards i felt slightly disorientated for five ten minutes but fine after this. I had no light sensitivity so was able to walk back to our car no problem (my wife having to hold me back as I strode ahead). At this point i was seeing similar to what i could see before without glasses on albeit a bit cloudy. I ttok painkillers at this point although i was not experiencing any discomfort.

Following the drive through to Edinburgh I was starting to see a combination of things shorter and further away still with the mist (approx two hours after op).

I went to bed with eyes closed for a couple of hours although did not sleep, on getting up again I was able to read teletext etc from accros the room with just a slight fuzziness around the edges (5 hours after op).

Next morning I awoke to find my eyes were excellent and just a bit dry. Had my checkup at 10am (19 hours after op) and had fantastic vision, able to read 20/20, and the two lines below 20/20 on the eye chart.

A week and a half later and my vision remains excellent, I still have dry eyes in the morning when i wake up and occasionaly during the day - mainly in shops with air con but this i would expect for a few weeks.

I was lucky and had no discomfort at all following the surgery, no light sensitivity and no grittyness in my eyes.

I would recomend this to everyone as it has made a huge difference to me already, able to see my baby daughter 24/7 without having to fish for glasses or lenses first.(shame my golf hasn't improved as well).

Thanks to all involved between the Edinburgh George St branch and the Renfield St surgery in Glasgow.
