I had LASIK eye surgery on the 26 Jan.
I had really looked in to procedure and really wanted to avoid wearing glasses to watch the TV and drive as I could never find them.
My eyes were not so bad but I wanted to avoid glasses except for reading.
I was told the pain might be bad but I was not prepared for how bad it was.i must admit that was a shock.
Having been a fireman and playing active sports all my life the pain will always be remembered.
I could not open my eyes from one hour after surgery - so from 7 pm om the 26th until noon on the 29th
No matter how I tried I could not.
On the 30th I
went to my first after care and had the bandage lenses removed.
I had a brief eye test but could see very little.
I called Optimax daily to say there was no improvement in my vision.
i was told it could take a day or 2 but I felt the eyes were worse.
I went back to Optimax on the Feb 2 for a check as I could not see enough to look at words on a computer screen or even the keys on the keyboard.
It could not see clearly to drive.

The doctor at Optimax confirmed it was early days but agreed my vision at the time of seeing me was no better than before surgery.
From the tests the doctor agreed my vision was just a blurr.
No one knows what went wrong but here I am on Feb 21 and exactly the same.
I cannot see to operate a computer so my daughter is typing this.
I cannot drive as vision is not clear.
I am really struggling with this as i can also not see to use a phone, road signs, read, call out numbers on a credit cards. see players on a pitch.
This was a presnt for my 50th birthday tomorrow 22 nd Feb from all my family and friends plus my savings but here I am with much worse vision than I started with.

Even the vari focal glasses had before surgery are worthless as they are not strong enough.
I have an appointment with a doctor at Optimax on the 9 march.
This cannot come sooner for me as I dont know what to do next.
