I had LASIK treatment on the 3rd october 2003 at Birmingham. My prescription was -4.5 in both eyes. Dr Madhu was my surgeon and did my consultation too, although Michael did my aftercare.

I did loads of research on the net and even found a video of the procedure, i wasnt nervous at all, quite excited really...... That was until i lay down in the operating room and just went to pot. But Bob the assistant was soooo nice to me and answered all my silly questions and told me i was really brave. The laser had to be started again once on my left eye because of me... but everything was ok.

The actual treatment was painless but quite uncomfortable and i was absolutely petrified. After it was all over i cried my eyes out (after asking Bob if it was ok to cry....lol) It was just the whole experience was so emotional. Dr Madhu checked me over 30 mins later and i went home....

About 2 hours later i just wanted to scratch my eyes out , they were so irritable.... just the anathestic wearing off... But went straight to bed when i got home till the next morning...When i woke up i could not believe my eyes.... i Could see brilliant...Went for my next day aftercare with Michael who was really nice, answered all my other daft questions...told to come back in a week.

My following appointment a week later my right eye is now perfect and my left is only -0.25 which is great, although it should improve for my next monthly appointment so should have perfect vision then.

Overall i would recommend LASIK to anyone umming and arring about it..... best thing i ever did...

Dr Madhu in my opinion was a great surgeon, Bob was absolutely brilliant, and Michael a great guy.
They treated me with every respect and i didnt feel that they were just doing there job, they had passion which was great

Thumbs Up! to Optimax and the great staff!
