    I had Lasik surgery last week @ the Birmingham clinic with Dr Madhusudhan and am very happy with the results!

    After a bad, off-putting hard sell consultation at Optical express the professionalism & opportunity to meet the surgeon before the day of operation was a breath of fresh air.

    Although a guy of little words the Dr obviously knew what he was talking about and seemed very honest. He encouraged me not to waste my money on adding Wavefront as it wouldn't help my particular prescription (he also showed me how & why on the wavefront mapping scans that are taken as part of the course).

    Operation day was nerve racking, and if I'm honest the actual surgery was quite an unpleasant experience (although painless). However can't fault the clinic.

    The day of the surgery & day after is uncomfortable but this gets better by the end of he second day.

    I was expecting to be bright & bouncy by the second, but realistically even with Lasik surgery it takes a week for things to settle (or at least it did for me). You can't get any water in your eyes, and therefore have to be careful in the shower and have to have someone else wash your hair. You can't cook or do any housework for at least the first 3 days. And you have to sleep with very attractive eye patches!

    However any unpleasantness has already paled into the dim distant past, as 8 days on i have 20:20 vision and am exploring a world through new eyes!

    Not to be taken as lightly as some of these companies would like you to... but definitely worth it in the end!

    By all means get in touch if you'd like more info ;o)
