I had laser treatment on both my eyes on 17th September 2008 at Optimax in Aberdeen and found the actual procedure painless...but with slight discomfort during the clamping process. Found it hard to stay still but Dr Osman is brilliant and reassured me throughout the entire operation. I was fairly short-sighted with a high astigmatism.

I had some blurring in the left eye up until just recently and at my last appointment Dr Osman told me that he could not believe how well my eyes have improved since the last appointment. My eyes were also quite dry but I have never had any light sensitivity. Driving during the day has not been much of a problem for me, but night time driving was definitely out!

I was told that I will need a further operation in my right eye to improve on the clarity of vision as my eyes are still a fraction short-sighted.

Even with these minor hiccups I am happy with how my eyes have improved steadily.......and my life is vastly changed since having the operation.
I have been looked after during my check ups and find all of the staff at Optimax to be wonderful and reassuring. I used to hate having my eyes tested because I once had a bad experience during my childhood when having my vision tested....and I think having my eyes lasered to improve my vision has in fact taken care of any 'phobias' I used to have!

I actually regard the staff at Optimax as friends now....and would recommend such a procedure. If I can do this....anyone can!
