I had bilateral lasik with Dr Hynes in Manchester on the 20th December. I was very nervous when I arrived for treatment but the premed settled me and I almost skipped into the room for my lasik. The treatment itself was surprisingly easy and I must say that Dr Hynes was very kind and professional. He really put me at ease and all the staff seemed very kind and helpful. When the premed and anaesthetic wore off I found it difficult to open my eyes although they were not painful. I slept for the rest of the day and the next day I was fine and found I was 20/20 in both eyes. I'm quite a coward and I really can't quite believe that I got myself together to do this. It's hard to believe that I do not need glasses any more. My prescription was not high, -1.75 in each eye with double astigmatism in one, but I really felt I needed my glasses to do most tasks and so I wore them from morning to night. It is wonderful not to have to wear them anymore! A big thanks to all at Optimax. I worried that the low price might mean a poorer service but I can honestly say that they were fantastic.
