Attended Optimax in Glasgow on 30th Jan. and had my consultation and bi-lateral treatment on the same day. Dr. Berry put my mind at ease,and answered all my queries.The worst thing about lasik is plucking up the courage to do it! As most people have said, there was no pain, the only discomfort being the pressure of the device when the flap was going to be made.This doesn't last long. Dr. Berry told me what was going on, but without going into detail. I had read that for a lot of people the improvement was immediate, and I was one of them. I walked out of the clinic with plastic eye shields taped to my face -I must have looked great-with my eyes watering, but I could see! My eyes continued to water for about 3 hours,but other than having puffy eyelids,you would not have known I had anything done.
I had worn hard then gas permeable lenses for 27 years,and was finding that I couldn't tolerate them as well as before. Now I get up in the morning, and that's me until bed. Why didn't I do this sooner?
