I had epi-lasek at Southampton Branch this morning. What can I say? The telephone staff were fantastic, so helpful. The clinic staff were so friendly and reasurring, despite me shaking like a leaf, they were fantastic. The consultant was so very friendly adn calming. He explained everything in a way I understood and was so kind and reasurring. Please if you are looking for laser surgery forget the rest and go with Optimax. I cant believe that I had my eyes laseked at 11am this morning! ALthough to be honest there is pain after the drops were off ( about 2hrs later) it doesnt last. I was very uncomfortable but the more you rest the easier it is. The procedure itself was totally pain free! Even the clamps were not at all uncomfortable. You do smell burning ( a bit like at the dentist) but that is it. It is cool in the laser room ( it has to be for the laser) so make sure you have something warm on. I cannot praise Southanpton Highly enough. THANK YOU!!!
