I have been incredibly(-8, -9) short-sighted since 13 and have worn contact lenses for 30 years. Things seemed to be deteriorating so I decided to go for corrective surgery. Why the Eye Infirmary? Because they are one of the top eye hospitals in the UK and Europe, so if they don't know or can't do it, it can't be done. Mr. D'Anjou ensured that I knew everything there was to know, including the risks, before the op. and I had both eyes done at once. Sore and uncomfortable, but only for 12 hours and then amazing! I could see well even when going for the following day's checkup. Mr. D'Anjou recommended that he "under-do" them and then they could be redone if necessary. I have had the right eye "topped up" and now have such fabulous vision that I only very occasionally need to wear very mild reading glasses. It's changed my life and I wish I had done it sooner! Mr D and the whoel team are to be recommended for their expertise, expereince, friendly approach and constant concern for the best for you. Yes, it's expensive, but you get what you pay for-all the followups etc. repeat treatment are all included in the one price-and you only get one pair of eyes. I had it done Nov. 2005 and they are still tracking me to ensure that all is well. Many, many thanks.
