In reply to Miguel- I had bilateral LASEK last Friday. I'll post more details here when my vision has completely settled and I can give a fair rating.

For now I would say having both eyes done is worth doing providing you don't have to see ANYTHING for the first day (they put a clear patch over one eye but in practice it's too painful to keep your eye open for longer than a millisecond). Also note that it is very painful for the first few hours- try to have the treatment done as late in the day as possible so you don't have long to wait before you can just pop the sleeping pills.

Also, one thing that nobody pointed out is that you must take loads of tissues with you for the ride home. Your eyes will be streaming and if you're anything like me, your nose too. Unless your chauffeur wants snot all over their car, be prepared.....

Other than that it's fine- 6 days later I am very glad to have had both eyes done for the sake of convenience.

I had the treatment done with Dr. Islam, but I had a long discussion with some people who were there for aftercare with Dr. Patel, and the general opinion was "brilliant". I'd say the same for Dr. Islam, who was really friendly and reassuring.

If anyone has any questions please email me and I'll endeavour to answer. I'll post a full review of my treatment in a week or so.
