The experience was very pleasant, straight forward and positive. I was able to have my assessment and proceed to surgery quite quickly which was good for me. I felt no discomfort and the staff were very reassuring during the surgery itself which incidentally took a total of 75 secoonds. Immediately afterwards although my eyesight was a little misty I could see much more clearly. After the surgery my eyes felt gritty but not painful. I was able to travel home by train quite easily. A few hours sleep and all was well. After care was good and I have loved being without my glasses. I use off the shelf + 2 specs for close work. Wonderful.
