    Had PRK Epiflap in Croydon branch on 13th November. Was -2.75 and -2.5. Operation painless, although very disconcerting when the Epiflap is pushed aside!
    Day 1 felt like I had very bad flu, and very light sensitive. Took pain killers, so pain reduced to irritation more than anything. Also took sleep pills on first night but felt completely zonked next day so didn't take any more.
    Day 2 just light sensitive, vision pretty good although couldn't really look at anything for more than a few moments.
    Day 3 much better, able to go outside (with sun glasses), and watch TV. Stopped pain killers. Had bandage contacts out, eyesight excellent.
    After 1st week had check up, reading near to 20/20. No pain, no blurred vision, no halos or anything. Consultant seemed baffled and explained don't normally see such quick recovery!
    Had check up again on 31st Dec., can now read bottom row of chart with both eyes (one row better than 20/20). Eyesight as good as was with contacts.
    I realise this is a very good experience. I would recommend it but remember everyone is different, and recover in different ways.
