Had laser treatment (both eyes) in the summer of 2001, and I have had no trouble at all afterwards, it's great to be able to see long distance, the views etc., it has made such a difference in my life. I had mine done at the Bristol Optimax Clinic, the staff were helpful and friendly, put you at your ease and the doctor I saw was Dr. M Mundasad,(one of the best he explained everything to me, the good points and also what could wrong, the pros and the cons for having it done, what to expect etc., the examination carried out at the consultation was very thorough, there was no pressure to go ahead with the treatment, you could walk away and say no thank you, book an appt: to have it done at a later date or go ahead with it the same day which I did, there was some slight dis-comfort, as if you had grit in your eye and had rubbed it, this lasted only a couple of days, I had the first eye done on the Friday and on the Wednesday I realised that I could see up the road and read the cars number plate, I hadn't been able to do that for years & years, I did at that time take the week of work just to rest the eye and make sure all went well,which it did, I know my friend who had it done before me went back to work on the Tuesday and she said she wished she had had the week of just to rest and let the brain etc., adjust to being able to see properly!!, I had the right eye done on the 8 week check up for the left eye, and this one appeared to right itself alot quicker, maybe because I didn't worry to much over it, the reason I had both eyes done was I got so fed up with the expense of glasses and 9 times out of 10 not being able to get a par to fit comfortably, and due to having Astigmatism (sorry if I've spelt it wrong)in both eyes I couldn't get on with Contact Lenses, plus the cost all the time of them. I would receomment anyone considering having this treatment to go by peoples recommendations, but at then end of the day it is up to the individual to make the decision to have it done, and if you do go ahead and get it done, please take note of any "aftercare" instructions that you are given, they are given for a reason and if you follow them you shouldn't have any problems. I have certainly no regrets in having both eyes treated.
