Guys here are my experiences - hope they help others with their decisions. Would I do it again? YES. Ask me in 30 years though; don't forget this is still an experimental procedure. Surgery Bilateral 2 weeks ago. -2.75 left and - 3.0 with astigmatism in right. Chose David 'cos; 1. This website 2. Ophthalmology surgeon friend who recommended him after hearing him speak. 3. Wanted LASEK
I concur with all the other good comments about him on the website. OK despite being into various so called "extreme sports" bilateral eye surgery is the scariest thing I've ever done!!
Day of OP; Started immediately on full dose of Co-Proxamol pain killers. Despite this had severe bilateral pain for about 3 hours on day 1 and used the local anaesthetic drops 3 times each eye.
Day 2&3; bionic vision in left eye blurred vision in right eye. Both eyes "uncomfortable"
Day 3; lenses out - blurred vision in both eyes for rest of day.
Days 4-7 distance vision blurred in left (previously "bionic") eye and very clear in right eye. Near vision intermittently blurred in both. Awoken with pain from dry eyes each morning. 6/7.5 and 6/10 at 1 week check up.
Days 7 - 16 (today). General gradual improvement in vision in both eyes. NOTE; this is better 1st thing in morning and fluctuates during the day. Vision can be as good as 6/4 in either eye but is occasionally 6/12. Seems to be settling down now with more time having great vision and less time blurred. Blurring also seems to be related to ability to focus and distance vision is worse for a few minutes after having been reading. Painful dry eye has now gone. Have only very minimal halos and glare and this is already settling.
I'm MASSIVELY pleased with this result so far and if it continues to settle and remains at 6/6 (or ? 6/5) in both eyes it'll be awesome.
Lessons learnt; vision is ALL OVER THE PLACE for 1st week and you really can't have any expectations. Everyone's experiences are probably different. Things seem to start to settle at 10 days to 2 weeks.
