I had my eyes lazered some time ago. It was the BEST thing and changed my life from day one. I have recommended it to everyone I know. I was lucky not to have pain, or any problems. I could not recommend Dr Patel at Optimax more highly.
I was 50 when I had it done - and I had one eye fully corrected and one eye under corrected and I can read perfectly. I only need magnification for very close work - sewing or putting on make up - easily resolved with a magnifying mirror.
