“I wish I had had the surgery sooner - it is much easier to swim and do the sports I like now I've had the surgery. It was only the cost that prevented me getting the surgery before and if you think about it I will recoup that cost in a few years now I don't have to pay for lenses, solutions etc... It is literally only a very short time of discomfort on the day of surgery for hopefully a lifetime of improved vision.”
“Vision correction laser surgery, is something that I have always wanted to do. Since my vision started to get bad at the age of 15, I have been wearing contact lenses or glasses. I waited a few years after I was eligible for surgery, to ensure that my vision became stable. When I came for my consultation, I had 101 questions to ask, this made me feel very confident, and I knew that I had made the right choice, and that the time was just right. It feels very good to be able to see without having to rely on glasses or contact lenses. Especially when travelling. I would definitely recommend it to anyone I know who may need it.”
“Whilst the level of customer service leading up to my surgery was not very good, on the day the staff were wonderful. I felt very well taken care of and in safe hands. Everything was quick, efficient and painless.
The care after has also been very good and any questions I've had have been answered as best they could.”
“I was very nervous about going ahead with the procedure after thinking about it for years, but once I was here with the staff very helpful reasurred me. The procedure was quicker than I was expecting it to be and the few hours after were a little uncomfortable. However the following morning things were a lot better and every day after continued to improve until now when I feel very pleased I went ahead and did it!!”
“I had no problems and I wish I had done it sooner. Surgery was nothing like I thought it would be, having experianced no pain just some discomfort during and after.”
“Even now going into a restaurant and not needing to take glasses to read the menu is brilliant. Seeing the differrence now on HD TV, where before i couldn't tell the difference is amazing.”
“was very happy that i have had this done but the one thing i would say is to recommend to other patients to bring painkillers for straight after the treatment.”
“The operation has to be the most terrifying thing I have ever done, mostly because you have to watch it happen. However, the resutls have been fantastic and I couldn't fault it. Overall, Optical Express have been fantastic, I feel I made a good choice and would reccommend to friends! Thanks!!”
“I had been planning to have laser eye surgery for a long time and knew once I was able to afford it that it would be a great opportunity. The procedure itself was pretty straightforward and I felt that the staff were really friendly and ever since having it done its boosted my confidence although im still getting used to not wearing glasses. I would recommend the surgery to anyone as you really can notice the difference literally a day after surgery.”
“I was feeling pretty nervous before hand but the staff made me feel at ease. The treatment itself lasts only a few seconds and is only mildly uncomfortable and the process was explained all the way through. Post treatment was quite unpleasant and painful but this only lasted a few hours. I would recommend taking someone with you to help you get home and some sunglasses for after the treatment as your eyes are VERY sensitive to light. I slept for 3hrs once i got home and when i woke up i could see perfectly and the pain had subsided to it just feeling a little irritated. Beware...your eyes are very bloodshot for a couple of days. after a few months 1 of my eyes was a little bit dry so i had to use drops but only occasionally. Almost one year on and I've never looked back! So happy, just wish I'd done it earlier. Amazing experience and well worth the price!!”
“An unbelievably Quick & procedure in the company of very friendly and helpful staff.
I can still see great and I don't have to waste time putting contacts in and out anymore!
The only negative I can say is that it is a Shame they don't include painkillers in the service”
“Absolutely money well spent!!! My vision now is perfect after relying on contact lenses and glasses for 14 years. The service was fantastic from my first check all the way through to the day of procedure. Haven't recommend laser eye surgery to many friends. Procedure is pain free and was back to my normal everyday lifestyle within a couple of days. Thank you optical express for changing my life forever! ;-)”
“I have wanted to get this done for a long time ... until I personally knew someone that got it done and they recommened it to me I was a bit reluctant. I got to a stage where I hated my glasses and contacts and stopped buying lenses to make myself go for it - it was such an easy experience I would do it again and again and again if I had to. The day itself was a bit uncomfortable - but not unpleasant - if you follow the guidance you can't go wrong. I feel its the best thing I've ever done and will recommend it and Optical Express to everyone I know. Thank you to Mr Minos and all the staff involved its an amazing thing you do for people.”
“On the wall of the operating room there was a large clock. I went from "what clock?" to telling the time withing 15 minutes.
Can't fault the service received. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. Would reccomend this to anyone.”
“After many years of wearing glasses and contacts I finally decided to take the leap and get my eyes lasered.....everything was great from the consultation to the aftercare..second to none!
Why I waited so long to have surgery I will never know but best thing I ever did. It is costly but you cant put a price on your sight!”
“the team have on all ocassions been very helpful, i thank them deeply and have great confidence with optical express, i have 5 members of family who will be using optical express.
there were a few issues, i paid ?2500 for my treatment and on the day of my surgery there were people there who paid less for the same treatment, that hurts a bit but oh well, the service and the support makes up for that.”
