Had bi-leteral epi-lasek at Bristol (Dr. Mundasad) on 25th March. My prescription was -3.25 with 1.00 astigmatism in each eye.

It is now 10 days later and I am delighted with the result. Sight (not re-tested yet) is as good if not better than previously with contacts. Eyes tire and become abit sore and 'scratchy' by end of day but this is slowly improving.

Consultation was not at all pushy. Warned that because of my age (48) I would need reading glasses afterwards.
In fact at the moment my near vision is fine so might get away without! Advised to have bandage lenses because in the Doctors experience it cut down the risk of 'haze'.

Procedure went fine - abit scarey but not painfull! The aftercare procedure is explained immediately following the lasering. I have to admit I didn't take it all in and had to phone next day to clarify something. If you have someone with you get them to listen to the instructions.

The 2 hour car journey home was very uncomfortable. Eyes incredibly light sensitive and I felt faint at one stage. Airline eye mask was very useful as you crave total darkness! Got home and went to bed for 2 days! Day 3 was more normal but quality of sight was very variable. Day 4 had the bandage lenses out which actually made the sight deteriorate for a few hours. Next day sight started to steadily improve and was happy to drive by day 8.

All in all very happy with result but be warned it can knock a week out of your life and it is uncomfortable!
