CRYSTALENS - Having worn glasses (which I hate and just can't get on with) and contact lenses for over 18 years I decided to investigate the possibility of having laser eye surgery. I am far sighted (+3.50 and +3.75)with slight astigmatism. After a lot of research on the internet and much thought I decided to book a consultation at The Centre for Sight with Mr Daya. The initial tests were mindboggling so very thorough. Finally I got to see Mr Daya and he explained to me that I had the beginings of a cataract in my left eye and that although I was a suitable candidate for laser surgery I may need to have a further operation for the cataract to be removed at a later date, also I may still need glasses for reading with the laser surgery. He then explained to me that I could have the CRYSTALENS a replacement lens that works naturally with your eye muscles to give you the quality of vision you enjoyed when you were much younger. The revolutionary new design includes “hinges,” which allow the lens to move, to focus on objects near, far, and at all distances in-between. I decided to go ahead with having the CRYSTALENS implanted in both eyes. On Monday 11th July I had my left eye done it took about 10 minutes and was absolutely painless....Mr Daya and all the staff were brilliant...I was sent home with a patch covering my eye that I removed the following morning ....WOW I just couldn't believe the vision I had I could even read the newspaper (with a bit of a struggle)I had to put drops in my eye 4 times a day and follow a few golden rules. Now its 12 days later no glasses at all and I can read the newspaper clearly , which is just wonderful (I was told for near vision it could take up to 3 months).
Why choose Mr Daya, The Centre for Sight is more expensive than most, but Mr Daya is simply the best, has the best qualifications, and I think my eyes deserve that...I cannot recommend him highly enough.
On Monday I am having my right eye done and will report back then.
