Having eye surgery has quite literally changed my life. Having worn glasses and then contact lenses for 30 years I took the plunge and went for eye surgery following recommendations from friends about St James Clinic. Despite being very squeamish about eyes I was desperate as I quite an active life. I own a horse, looking after him and riding on a daily basis. In windy weather dirt would blow into my eyes, rendering me painfully blind if I was wearing my contact lenses. If I worn my glasses I struggled to see in the rain and also risked the horse potentially knocking them off. Being able to see properly means whatever the weather I can get on with what I am doing.
It has also saved time in messing about putting lenses in, trying to find my glasses and swopping between the two. I no longer get dry eyes at night from wearing lenses all day and don't suffer the inconvenience of a lost lens. I also don't rub my eyes as much so the skin around them will not get stretched and age as quickly as if I were still wearing lenses.
It is fantastic being able to see!
