I feel that I have to add my comments to this page as I am extremely dissapointed about the treatment and service I have received from optimax. Having been short-sighted since the age of 7, I decided I was sick of wearing contact lenses and glasses. I decided to have laser eye surgery at the Optimax clinic in Manchester. I had my right eye treated with the PRK method in June 2000. Unfortunatley the surgeon 'over-corrected' my eye, which resulted in me being long-sighted in that eye. After numerous consultations, and various doctors realising that my eyes were not going to correct themselves, they recommended that I have further surgery to correct the long sight in the right eye. However, this time they recommended the LASIK procedure as it is more 'accurate'!! This procedure took place in June 2001 and made no difference to my eye whatsoever. After further consultations the doctors decided that further surgery would be too risky as my cornea is now too thin. They were supposed to be sending me to a specialist contact lens fitter, however to this date I have still not received an appointment from them. I have been chasing them but it seems they do not care. I visited an optician myself to try and sort some contact lenses and glasses out. However, they told me that glasses are of no use to me as one eye is longsighted and the other short-sighted and so they don't work together properly, and also there are not many contact lens options available to me as the surface of my eye is so irregular. Basically my eyes are f****d. I certainley would not recommend optimax to anybody. The service i have received has been terrible, as soon as they realised the surgery wasn't going to work for me they did not want to know. If you really want laser surgery make sure you research all the options fully before you go for it.
