I had PRK in my left eye in June and then in my right eye in August, performed by Vinod Gupta at Hammersmith. I have to say i couldn't be happier, Mr Gupta and the team have been so fantastic. I was on the table and ready to have Lasik when Mr Gupta said he couldn't go ahead with it as i had 'loose epithelium', my only option in my mind was to have PRK. I was never pushed into anything and was even given time in a spare office to go on the net to do research. I went home and thought very hard about what i wanted to do and decided to go ahead with PRK but only in one eye first.
I had a few days of discomfort and the odd shooting pains but as soon as the bandage lens was taken out it felt great. I booked in for my right eye almost straight away!
My vision is now better then 20/20, no glasses, no evil contact lenses! It really has been life changing!
So to anyone considering laser surgey i can very very highly reccommend, Mr Gupta and his team at Hammersmith!!!
