I had my surgery at the Newcastle branch just over three months ago. It was carried out by Dr. Esselaar who was absolutely fantastic. Everything about the service was top notch. Bill Coultas who carried out my initial consultation was very clear and professional in explaining the process, with no hard sell tactics, and made me aware of all of available options. I could have opted for a cheaper treatment, as I was suitable, but when it comes down to it you get one pair of eyes, and I felt the extra money for the best treatment was the right choice for me. I did originally book to have this treatment in April of this year but nerves got the better of me, but after many more weeks of consideration I decided to take the Nike approach and just do it. The surgery itself is a strange alien experience but not painful. As mentioned before Dr. Esselaar is great, and put me at ease and talked me through the whole thing. I had no pain or discomfort at all after surgery, apart from being sensitive to bright light which passed after a few hours sleep. Three months on my vision is entirely stable and I now have better than 20/20 vision. It has made a huge difference to my life and would recommend this treatment to everyone. Forget about the nerves and go for it. One piece of advice would be to go to your consultation and then hold off booking your surgery. The offers you get through both by e-mail and post seem to get better the longer you wait. I received a voucher by post for £300 off, which is better in my pocket than theirs.
