I consulted this forum after my initial consultation and after my Intralase Wavefront surgery, which was carried out yesterday, I wanted to add some comments and observations which may be useful to anyone considering this procedure.
In all I found the customer relations a little disappointing, for the most part I really felt like part of a conveyor belt. I am very squemish as far as eyes are concerned and was incredibly nervous beforehand. Though I arrived early for my appointment, I had to wait almost two hours before the surgery, and this left me a nervous wreck. Thankfully the surgeon was very helpful, and talked me gently through each step.

The procedure in all took about 10 minutes. The first laser is used to create the flap; although this wasn't a pleasant experience, it was nowhere near as bad as I had anticipated. I was expecting big metal clamps to force my eyes open,but the clamps didnt hurt at all. The muscle relaxent drops stop you from blinking, but this didnt feel unnatural. Then slight pressure is exerted on the eye, which feels a little strange but not painful. My vision did go black for a few seconds but the surgeon had told me to expect this. After the flap was cut, I was moved to the second laser which performs the wavefront surgery. The flap is gently lifted and then the laser begins. After only a few seconds this is complete and the flap is then gently massaged back into place.
My sight was a little blurry from all the drops, so when I went home I lay down for a few hours. When I got up I was able to see perfectly(the WOW factor). I felt no discomfort or pain either during or after surgery. My check today has confirmed my 20/20, and healing already underway.
This technology is amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone. Of course everyone is different, but if I was able to do it (being of a nervous disposition) anyone can. Excellent value for money
