Wow... it's now less than 24hrs after my surgery and I feel fantastic. Had my surgery at Optimax in Manchester with Dr Madhusudhan at 6pm last night. I was told about the streamy, stinging eyes by others but I haven't had anything. Just wore my sun glasses and watched a bit of TV then went to bed. I can honestly saw that I'm amazed with the surgery. I was petrified going in but all the staff at Manchester were great and the surgeon really reassuring. It was over within 5 mins and I didn't feel a thing, in fact I was amazed when the suregon said I was done... i thought he'd only just lasered my flaps to start the surgery! All you see if a twinkly red light that you focus on and you smell a bit of burning but over all I felt more uncomfortable when I had a tooth out at the dentist! Can see perfectly with just a little haze which I'm told is normal. Have had no pain what so ever and I'm ok to drive now!

My prescription was -3.50 with a slight astigmatism in one eye. My research before hand told me that although with Lasik there is a few more surgical procedure to cut the flap etc... the recovery is a lot more quicker and I haven't had the slightest pain at all.

Can't understand why I didn't have it sooner!
