I had Epi-Lasek treatment at Optimax Birmingham in August this year after going to see one of their competitors. Oddly enough, I bought my treatment through Ebay of all places, and saved myself an absoulte packet! My wife had her eyes done at Optimax three years ago and I wish I'd done it back then as well. It is, as they all say, a miracle - after an initial period of 18 hrs I was pain free, and most of that I spent asleep overnight. I had my treatment on a Tuesday, was using my computer briefly on thr Friday, and by the Monday I was back at work. In the intervening weekend I had the bandage lenses out and a quick eyetest proved my vision was at least 20/20. My eye test was performed by the surgeon, the quality and quantity of testing was superb, and the support staff at the facility were courteous and helpful. You're given all the medicines you need to take away with you, and the follow up treatment is excellent. If you were thinking about getting your eyes laser treated but you weren't sure, get yourself to Optimax and get tested for suitability. You owe your eyes a new lease of life, and my personal experience of it has been nothing but brilliant.
