    • I had Lasik with Intralase and Wavefront to both eyes at Optimax in Southampton carried out by Dr G Ayoubi - frankly, forget the rest, this guy was superb and the treatment I received was first class. I had quite a high prescription of -6.5 in both eyes and I can now see perfectly.
    I visited Optical Express, Ultralase and Optimax for consultations prior to going for treatment having been considering laser eye surgery for far too long. I immediately rules out Optical Express as I didn't feel they were at all professional - it just felt like a rather thorough eye test. I would have been happy to go with either of the other two but Ultralase wanted me to travel to Surrey whereas Optimax was much more local and considerably cheaper.
    I had treatment to both eyes last Friday (exactly 1 week ago) and the results are absolutely astounding. The treatment was painless apart from some pressure during the Intralase flap procedure but Dr Ayoubi talked me through every step of the way. Whilst in recover I started to be able to see and by the time I got home (about an hour or so after surgery) I could see quite well although my eyes were starting to get very sore and runny. I had been given some anaesthetic drops so after using those I went to bed and slept. The next morning I woke to better eyesight than I had ever had with glasses or contact lenses.
    I was grinning like the proverbial Cheshire cat and looking out the window reading registration numbers and signs. I had a follow up appointment at 9.20am and was cleared to drive with 20:20 vision in 1 eye and 16:20 in the other - all this only 15 hours after surgery.
    As the week has gone on my eyesight has got better and better and today I have not really even noticed that I've had anything done. My eyes are no longer sore, not dry and only a little red still. If it wasn't for having to put drops in I'd be totally back to normal except with perfect vision.
    An incredible journey that I would highly recommend to anyone considering it. Don't just sit there - you're wasting your time - get on with it - it's incredible.
