i had epi lasek at birmingham clinic on 4th june the op itself was quick and just a little uncomfortable and a bit wierd i did feel a little rushed at the clinic and they dont seem to run to time ...either late or very early..... however im very pleased with the results my vision is better than it was with my contacts (-3.50, -3.25 with astigmatism). i was in agony for approx 6 hours after the procedure i found even the slightest light painfull however after 6 hours i was up and about making a cuppa ... the pain was still there but slightly more of a uncomfortable feeling than specific pain... now after four weeks i have slight dry eyes and have to wear sunglasses as my eyes are still light sensitive. i hated wearing glasses and was warned that i may have to wear reading glasses straight away however i can read fine .. i do find my eyes get tired if i spend too long on pc or reading... but i would like to say its best 800 quid i have ever spent i wished i had done it years ago .
