I had Lasek surgery at the Hammersmith clinic in February 2005 and I have to say it is one of the best things that I have ever done! My corneas were on the boundaries of being too thin for Lasik so I was recommended Lasek which I was very nervous about. Dr Vinod Gupta performed my operation and I trusted his professionalism completely. I felt in very safe hands and I knew his reputation was excellent.
The operation was not painful, all I felt was a bit of pressure on each eye. It was over in minutes and the staff were brilliant throughout. Apart from my eyes streaming for a while I did not really have any significant pain at all. I had the lenses taken out a week later and when I went back for my month appointment Dr Gupta told me that I had 20/20 vision.
I have since been back to my old opticians who were amazed, thoroughly checked my eyes and said they had been done brilliantly, she could not even really see I had had the treatment done. My prescription is now +0.5 in each eye (previously -5.75 and -6.25 including a stigmatism) so I am absolutely thrilled. No contact lenses or glasses wearing any more!
Highly recommended!
