The service from the Manchester Clinic was superb. From Gill Clegg and the ladies on reception to Dr Hynes and his staff. I went for my consultation on March 31st intending to have Lasik treatment at a cost of £1,850 however after a thorough consultation by Dr Hynes he recommended that I should opt for the Epi-Lasik treatment at £1,080, due to the thickness of my cornea. This option made me feel more comfortable with both Dr Hynes and Optimax as he had considered my eyes 1st and not just the income he could generate for the company. I then had treatment on both eyes, right -8 and left -7.5, on April 7th and the results to date are fantastic. As you can probably imagine, with my prescription I needed glasses/contacts for everything !! and the shock of seeing various things straight after the treatment was amazing. The treatment was pain free and as I walked away from the clinic I could even see number plates on the other side of the road. I was that ecstatic, my wife thought they had given me some illegal drugs !! The worst part of the whole experience was to come during the journey home where my eyes were streaming and painful for at least 1.5hrs. Once i had arrived home closed the curtains and slept for about 4hrs, on awakening the pain/streaming eyes had gone. From then until now my distance vision has been superb and my close up vision has improved day by day. I even felt comfortable to drive 4days after treatment. I've an appointment in a couple of weeks to see if all is ok but to date I'd recommend the treatment to anyone.
