I booked in to the Reading Clinic due to Southampton not being available on the dates I could take off work.
Had the initial check up in the morning and was booked in for 15.45.
Due to a computer problem I finally went in at 18.00hrs, but having waited for several years before plucking up the courage to get it done this wasn't really an issue.

Was prepared for the clamps, suction cups and burning smell after reading comments posted on this forum. Was a bit strange having swabs going over my eye but not being able to feel it.
Dr Ayoubi was superb, he could have made an additional £600 - £800 out of me but his suggestions where spot on. Went for Lasik with no thrills and it is amazing to be able to see clearly. Had a bit of soreness & watering eyes for a few hours afterwards but awoke in the morning to be able to see clearly.
Went back for the 24hour check up and was up to driving standard. I have noticed that the more I rested my eyes the better my vision got, so spent a chill out day listening to the radio and not doing anything, avoided TV and put the drops every 4 hours.
I was -4.75 & -5.00.
