Original prescription: +3.50 = long sighted.
I am a scientific lab technician. I came in to see Prof Reinstein because I wanted my long sightedness, which blurred both my near and distance vision. He did the most thorough eye exam that I have ever had in my life, and after this, told me that I had a tumour that seemed benign in the back of my eye. Clearly I was quite surprised. He sent me to a specialist for the back of the eye that afternoon (the retina) to confirm that these were benign. I saw Mr. Graham Duguid, who confirmed Prof Reinstein’s findings. I hardly had time to worry about anything before I was reassured 100%!! We proceeded with the surgery. Prof Reinstein’s manner, the way he talks you through the steps of the procedure made me feel very much at ease. The procedure did not hurt at all and the next day I was seeing 20/15 (better than 20/20). As sometimes happens with long sighted treatments my eyes shifted back a little over the next 3 months (10% of eyes with my prescription are the statistics for Prof Reinstein’s practice – he gives these to you). Prof Reinstein suggested an enhancement, for which I was a little more nervous. But again, he made me feel very good and within a minute or two I was put totally at ease by his bedside manner, which is so important. The next day I was able to see the smallest print up close, and the 20/20 line at the distance. I’m just ecstatic with the results and would recommend this to anyone!! Pauline Taplin
