I had my laser surgery at optimax after reading the reviews on this site. They seemed to be the best value for money based on average cost of surgery and customer ratings. I managed to get double discount, which was also great. I had a letter saying a special offer of £400 an eye (Epi-Lasek) was available with £300 extra per eye for wavefront. I also managed to get an ebay discount added, which brought the total cost to £1120 for Epi-Lasek on both eyes including wavefront. Phenomenal value. I had my consulation and surgery on the same day and the surgery took about 10 mins! There was a delay of about an hour running up to it, however. There was no explanation for it but when I finally asked they said I'd be seen very shortly, and I was. I did suffer for the first day but this was because I failed to use the anti-inflammatories and the tear drops they gave me. I wasn't paying enough attention to what they were telling me about how to use it, so for anyone else reading this I'd say ensure that you start using the drops as soon as your home after surgery. As soon as I started using the drops my life became a lot easier. I had my bandage contact lenses removed after three days and I have to say I couldn't wait to get them out. I found them very irritating. On my way home after this somehow an eyelash managed to find its way into my left eye and it was agony. My eye was streaming and I couldn't touch it to get it out. I had to get my friend to take me back to the clinic and they immediately saw to me and removed the lash. Unfortunately because of the rubbing from the lash they had to put another bandage contact lense into that eye. This was removed without incident after another three days. I have been back for my check ups and at my last check up, after just eight weeks, I am able to read the line second from the very bottom line. This is already better than 20/20 and improvement can continue for up to a year after surgery! I have one more check up in a few weeks and then I'm signed off. I'd like to say that optimax have been consumate professionals and very accomodating and considering the amount I paid, exceptional value for money. Recommended, in fact my girlfriend has just had hers done on my recommendation. I'll get her to post her thoughts in a couple of months, when the treatment has had time to be effective.
