In early December 2008, my optician mentioned in passing that there was a laser eye clinic that was part of St. James's Hospital which is run by NHS consultant opthalmologists. Something that has always put me off laser eye surgery before was the "stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap" type offerings from the main stream providers. They just never gave me the confidence to proceed.
I booked in for a consultation in early January and was impressed with the professionalism of all the staff and especially the surgeon, Mr Morrell. In my opinion, the fact that the two surgeons who operate there are British NHS consultant opthalmologists and the clinic is part of St. James's is worth it's weight in gold. The following week I had LASEK surgery because I never liked the idea of having my cornea cut.
My eye sight is now better than it was with glasses. I was -3.5 in both eyes before and now I feel like I have bionic eyes! It truly is a liberating and life changing experience.
I can't recommend Mr Morrell and his team highly enough. If you want the best treatment and the best aftercare then call St. James's Laser Vision for a consultation.
