I was terrified but truly did not want to wear glasses or contacts anymore. I went to Optimax and Boots to check where I felt most comfortable, and Ultralase were by far the most relaxing, helpful and friendly clinic. You get what you pay for! The staff were all fantastic. The treatment is slightly uncomfortable but not painful at all. I would recommend going home afterwards and sleeping as much as possible, and keep your sunglasses handy! It gives the most amazing sense of freedom - to wake up in the morning and to be able to see everything is amazing. Four weeks on and I still reach for my glasses - takes a while to get out of the habit! Go for it!
