After thinking about laser eye surgery since I knew of its existance, I saw the ebay offer and decided to go for it.....

I saw Dr Boezaart at the Manchester clinic yesterday and am typing this review with almost perfect vision!!

I went for Lasik (as I was too scared to try the epi-lasek!!).
I listened to the optometrist talking about wavefront and femto but decided just to go for standard lasik as its at least £600 cheaper!

I had my consultation and treatment on the same day and, when it came round to my turn - I was petrified and was thinking if I should tell the nice receptionist that ive made a mistake and cant go through with it.

I stuck to it and spoke to Dr Boezaart (I had already looked him up on the internet and saw that he was very highly qualified and was on the GMC register which put my mind at ease slightly)he was very polite and confident and told me I didnt need to be scared - id be ok.

The procedure was over in less than 20 minutes and although it was uncomfortable - it didnt hurt.

The only problem I had was all the literature I looked up and was given before the procedure said lasik was "pain free," mine wasnt.

As soon as I got outside into the sun my eyes would not open even with sunglasses on, they were stinging and burning and my faces was soaking wet with tears, the anaesthetic drops were such a relief even if they did only work for 15mins at a time, you could put them in every half an hour!!

Anyway about 4 hours later my eyes werent hurting and now they're fine.
I think Dr Boezaart is a credit to Optimax and realise I needn't have worried so much!
