I had Lasek with wavefront technology at Leeds office on Saturday 23rd June.

Eye sight was -2.50 in both eyes.

Surgeon Dr Samuel who explained everything and made sure I had done my research.

Operation was not pleasant, surreal having eyes scrapped and vision blurring then returning. It did not hurt you just have to ignore the fact someone is scarping your eye. Then the smell of burning 'hair' from the laser as your eyes get zapped!

Managed to get home, but I could not find a room dark enough for the next 2 days. After 2 days I could open my eyes a little to see roughly where I was going. Only pain was on days three when the eye drops were put in and it was agony for 15 minutes! Apart from that it was uncomfatable with the bandage contact lenses feeling like they were drying out.

Warning YOU NEED SOMEONE AT HOME TO LOOK AFTER YOU! Until my bandaged contact lenses were removed I could not see clear enough to do most things including finding the pain killers, sleeping tables, eye drops, antibiotics.

Bandage contact lenses were removed on Wednesday and I could see, not clear but better than without glasses before the operation.

Now a month later I have near perfect vision in one eye (right) and the other is slightly long sighted. It is amazing seeing again and not needing glasses or contact lenses. I wake in the morning and see! I still sometimes at bedtime think I have to take off my glasses or remove my contact lenses...

I wish I had done it years ago.
I would recommend it to anyone, but you have to be made aware of all the possible risk involved and I am so glad nothing serious has gone wrong for me.

What has gone wrong for me:-
Sometimes when I wake up I feel like my left eye lids are glued together onto my eye. Very strange feeling but if I remember to move my eyes around first then open my eye lid then no proble. I might have a little dry eye when I remember to use the eye drops there is usually no problem.

When looking at TV, PCs, Cinemas screen the eye can dry out and you have to blink more.

Sometimes the sun can seem too bright, or if you walk into a dark room and turn the light on it is way too bright!
