I had epi lasek at Optimax Glasgow on Monday, 16th July 2007. The surgery itself took all in less than 5 minutes don't get me wrong its not very pleasant but a means to an end. The doc told me i could use my own paracetamol based medication along with the prescription he gave me i asked if cocodamol was ok he said yes so i had no pain whatsoever i am telling the truth - when the anaesthetic wore off about 4 hours later it was hard to open my eyes so i took my sleeping pill and went to bed! I awoke every 4 hrs (during the night don't get me wrong)took my cocodamol and on the Tuesday i was fine looking after my one year old. On Wednesday i took no medication and had a check up Thurs to get my bandages removed. I was dreading it & it was absolutely fine! I have had no runny/dry eyes, no gritting my only thing that concerns me is how long it will take and if even will i achieve 20:20 vision. My prescription was -2.25 both eyes and my corneas were too thin for Lasek my doc said i didn't need to fork out for Wavefront i had initially went to Optical Express and they quoted me £2700 telling me i could get the works!! I ended up getting my price for Optimax from Ebay I am really pleased just waiting to see how my eye sight goes...
