Hello there, I am back from the eye clinic /optical express Milton keynes. No good news yet i am afraid.

Read my post below then you will understand i supposed to have my Lasik/Lasek surgery today sunday March 14 at 10 am. I am quiet excited really this morning, cant wait to have my surgery done. I was told 2 months earlier by the eye clinic consultant (chris) that I could have either lasek or lasik as my eyes seems ok and no problem with my eye prescription at all, prescription seems stabil in the last one year .

I got to the clinic half an hour earlier, some other people also already there, they are also having eye surgery same day with me but different time.

They asked me to sign the consent form for lasik and lasek as I cant decide yet which one should i go for. And they advised me that the surgeon would help me in choosing the one thats right for me.

A really nice lady (sorry dont know her name) asked me to go to the consulting room where she took my eyes pictures with a special machine (you have to look through a machine and blink couple times), and the computer will take the picture of the eyes.

After the picture taken, i was asked to wait in waiting room. I didnt mind this as some other people are also there, very friendly people and chatting with them made me relax a bit.

The lady came again to me and asked if i could go to the surgeon's room as the surgeon need to talk to me.

His name Mr jain (katillal jain). When arrived at the room, he asked me to have a sit. He was having some discussion about my eyes with the lady nurse. I noticed they looked very serious that time and i was a bit worried.

Mr jain asked me about having lasek instead of lasik and I said to him yes thats ok, I do not mind that (i have read carefully about the two of them)so i am prepared to have any of them , really.

Then, He asked me to read some letters on the wall, testing me with several different lenses. I couldnt read the top letters with 2 of the lenses. After 5 minutes testing, he said that he couldnt operate my eye with Lasek as he found that my left eye adding extra -1 cylinder in the last 2 months. So, it will have to be lasik he said. He said my prescription too high for lasek so its not suitable for it. He said that i may experience severe starburst/haloes (if with lasek)specially with my prescription.

Another thing also Mr Jain mentioned, my eyes pictures are not clear. When i asked him again, he said its the surface of my eyes not seems very clear on the picture. He asked me if i have been wearing contact lenses, and i said no, i have always been wearing glasses.

And he asked me to come again to the clinic in one month time for another test with the eye consultant. If after one month time, my eyes still not stabil, they would have to cancel my surgery. But if after one month time, my eyes are ok and stabil as the prescription, then they will arrange another surgery date for me (usually one month time from the last test).


I was so devastated when being told like that as i had arranged everything before(child minder, days off from work etc).

I dont blame anybody, not their fault, its one of those things...i respect Mr Jain's decision of course, this may be a good thing before its too late i suppose. The surgeon just want to make sure that everything ok before the surgery.

Well, i will post again here within one month time and I will let you know the updates about my eyes.
