    I had bi-lateral LASIK on both eyes last Thursday at Optimax Finchley Road. The Admin staff could be better but the Dr during the consultation was very professional. He answered all of my questions and was not pushy at all. I felt very confident with getting the procedure done in fact after the consultation as I left feeling that there were very little risks & I now knew that the Dr who would be treating me had performed this procedure more than 8000 times. The op went well. Little discomfort on the first day, which disappeared by the evening following a short sleep. I noticed by that evening that vision in my right eye was very good but left eye not quite as good (original prescription was -6 L -4.5 -R with a stigmatism in both eyes). I go for my week after care this Friday & am hoping that my left eye might settle down by then. The thing I am finding most annoying is the bad night vision. I get a lot of glare from the street lamps and both on coming cars and the red lights of the cars in front. Even watching TV in the evening I experience glare / ghosting. Not ideal :( .However I new the risks and still went along and got it done. When I asked about glare during the consultation I was told that this normal occurs at night if you pupil dilates to larger than the laserd area. I was also told that as I had normal size pupils I should be okay & not experience this glare. I am hoping that this improves and will post again in the future. Would be nice to hear from people who have had this procedure done and did experience the nighttime glare. Does it get better? People considering this procedure should know this is my biggest problem with it. Other than the currently bad nighttime vision I can see very well.
