I had Epi-Lasek at Optimax in Peterborough in June, My surgeon was Dr Masilimani. I started with a prescription of L -3.25 R-3.50 with slight astigmatism in the right eye. The whole process was very easy and simple, the clinic was clean and comfortable with nice loos and plenty of magazines to read while you wait.
The actual surgery was very quick, the most uncomfortable thing about it was the clamp they put on to hold your eyelid open as this was very tight and felt uncomfortable, the actual surgery is painless and you can see everything happening. I asked the doctor in the consultation if he would explain what was happening during the surgery to put me at ease but when it got round to it i had to ask during the surgery what was going on which made me a little anxious. The next 24hrs are probably worth sleeping through as they were a bit annoying, not painful as such but the constant eye watering and grittyness is very uncomfortable so best take the sleeping pills and have a good kip! Over the next few days my eyes got a lot better i could watch tv after 4 days and go outside without sunglasses after 7 days.
The end results are worth it, it took several weeks for my eyes to get to driving standard (don't expect miracles in a few days! think of your eyes like a wound it'll take a few weeks for the surface to heal and your vision to clear) but ever day they appear to be a little sharper and i do not need glasses anymore which was my objective. The fact i paid £895 for both eyes is a bargain not to have to wear glasses or lenses again!
