From my very first consulation to the follow up appointments I found everybody really pleasant helful and reassuring. I was most impressed by the smart modern surroundings at the Ultralase Chelmesford clinic. As so many people have said my only regret is having been put off by out of date negative publicity regarding laser treatment (for example I thought I would have to have one eye done at a time and be unable to see properly for three months after each op). As for the differences it has made, where do I begin? I can get out of bed without injuring myself on a child's toy which I hadnt seen, I save 10 mins every morning fiddling with lenses, I can go swimming without worrying about losing a lens, glasses dont steam up on rainiy days, I can ski/snowboard at speed or in bad light conditions without losing a lens, I can wear ski goggles (my lenses used to fall out if did !). My makeup stays on - no more one eye made up where I had a lens problem! None of the side effects I expected materialised - I have better nightvision than with contacts or glasses. The ONLY downside is that my eyes run when I chop onions and the contacts stopped that. I really wish I had done this years ago THANKYOU ULTRALASE! Sorry another downside - I have bored all my friends family and colleagues senseless by "demonstrating" my perfect vision and going on and on and on about Ultralase!
