I have had a consultation at the Bristol branch by Dr Fiachetti. I appreciate that these surgeons should be honest and straightforward but he was so abrupt and unenthusiastic that I left quite depressed and decided to wait longer. I have prescription of -6 and -5. Has anybody else had surgery by Dr Fiachetti or to that prescription? What was the outcome?
He decided I could have Lasek but really piled on the possible problems. I have had a problem sometimes with I think it's called 'persistent erosion' where when I wake up and open my eye the surface is scratched. This heals in a about thirty minutes, but he suggested it may get worse due to 'dry eye'. But I don't suffer with dry eyes at the moment. Would welcome comments from anybody but particularly anyone that has had this problem. From reading comments on other companies - they seem to successfully treat much higher prescriptions than Optimax - Dr Fiaschetti indicated that I was on the limit.
