I am soon to be 50 and have worn glasses to correct shortsight since the age of 9.As an adult I've worn all types of contact lens sucessfully including Daily Diposable and more recently Accuvue Bifocal Lens. My treatment was completed very sucessfully in pleasant surroundings at Optimax in Leeds - Cost £995 for the treatment of both eyes -deposit £200 monthly payments £80 per month. Very little waiting was involved and the process was explained thoroughly.From the initial consultation it was explained that the likely outcome would be that my long distance vision would be 20/20 but that I would need glasses for close work.The Laser process, although disconcerting,folllowed the explained procedure very closely.Three months into my newly sighted life I still am amazed at waking in the morming and and being able to see perfectly. My long distance vision is indeed 20/20 and I wear glasses only very occassionally to read very small print in poor light. I have had no adverse reactions at all, have no supersensitivity to bright lights or poor night vision and would highly recommend a consulation with Optimax to anyone considering the procedure - I wish I had made my decision to do so a long time ago.My only recommendation to anyone considering laser treatment is to visit the doctor before the procedure and obtain a prescription for strong pain killers which you may or may not need to take for the couple of hours after treatment. Apparently many people experience little discomfort but others like myself find that pain killing tablets of greater strength than Paracetomol would have made life easier. MAKE THE PHONE CALL.
