I decided to have Eye Surgery because my glasses were starting to resemble milk bottle bottoms. I have a passion for photography and the wearing of glasses with a camera is not at all practical.

I thought that my chances of been accepted for Laser Eye Surgery were not too good because I have been wearing glasses for over twenty two years.

As the eye-test is free, I thought why not give it a try.

St James Laser Vision carried out extensive tests and concluded that I had very healthy Corneas and that it would be fine to have Laser Eye Surgery. I had the surgery on the 28th of September - the surgery was totally pain free. I had both eyes done at the same time and the results were almost instant.

Apart from a slight temporary "blurriness" for a few days and a little light sensitivity, there were no other problems resulting from the surgery. Now, I can easily read the whole of the eye chart without glasses and I can also read the very smallest print in a newspaper.

I would like to say many thanks to everyone concerned who made it so easy for me and an especially big thanks to James Ball.

In conclusion, if you are thinking of having Laser Eye Surgery, try these guys - they really are the best in their field.
