I had Femto Wavefront LASIK yesterday with Dr. Patel at the London clinic. I was -7.25 in both eyes +.50 astigmatism. I have left a message in the General and Surgeon forums too, but in short, this was the best £2400 I have ever spent! The clinic staff were great, Dr. Patel a pleasure to talk to, the surgery was completely pain-free (if a little uncomfortable)and 4 hours later I watched the telly, answered emails and returned back to normal life! Today, less than 24 hours post-op, my vision is completely clear and all I am wishing for is that I had it done earlier!!

I did do a lot of research beforehand, and this site was invaluable in helping me make up my mind. I had a consultation at 2 other places (Ultralase who were a little too pushy to sell me stuff for my liking and Peterborough Optimax who were superb but did not have the Femto technology)and almost arranged a third one with Centre for Sight (who are very busy so couldn't get in for months and rather expensive!) I saw Dr. Patel in London yesterday. He certainly knows what he is doing (and responds well to jokes of the type "how many have you done today? I don't want to be your first, I want you well-practised!". The whole experience was a very positive one and I would whole-heartedly recommend it.

Thank you to the London team -
