I had laser eye surgery at Optical Express in the Birmingham Clinic in May 2011. It is the best investment I ever made. It has now been a month and I have 20/20 vision in both my eyes. My left eye took about a month to heal and now it has 20/20 vision just like my right eye.The surgery was completely painless, it was over in ten minutes, although my vision was hazy I could see better than what could with my glasses. After a good night's sleep the next day I had clear vision.I had no problems during and after surgery and I would recommend Optical Express to anyone thinking of going for laser eye surgery.My only regret is that I should have done it ages ago. I have £150 money off vouchers for Optical Express laser eye surgery, if anyone is interested or would like to ask me any questions about the surgery please email me on lotusflower_2007@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you.

I had my surgery done by Mr George on 6/6/08 at Optical express in Birmingham City Centre. He took time to answer a few questions that I did not think I got a straight answers for from the opthomologist during my assessment visit. He had read my notes and used my interest of motorcycles to make me feel more relaxed prior to and during the surgery. My surgery (Std Lasik) was over in less than 15 mins and I felt no pain at all, and very little discomfort. Overall Mr George came across as pleasant but with an air of straight to the point type efficiency (he was very busy). I was totally discomfort free after only 8 hrs and now have better than 20-20 vision in both eyes.

Very kind and professional. Although he was very busy, he still treated me as an individual expressing an interest in my personal life as well as my eyes. By the way, he doesn't wear glasses anymore!!!

I had my Lasek with Wavefront with Mr George in Birmingham almost 2 years ago - it was pain free, I could watch Corrie 3 hours later and I still have 20/20 vision - Excellent!
