“the sight has been good, but with little impairment during the night and long distance slightly blurry, but overall good vision.
I sometimes get dry eyes, which i was informed about
overall the decsion was a good and am glad i have done it.
i no longer have to worry about contact lenses falling out when swimming and have to pack sufficient about of lenses when going on holiday.
I had a very high presription, so the lenses in my glasses had to be thinned a significantly. Laser surgery has now reduced the cost in the long term.”
“I didn't feel nervous about the surgery at all and all the staff were very helpful, especially the day after for my post op check up. The only problem i found was after the surgery i hadn't expected as much pain as i experienced, it only lasted a few hours and then i was fine the next day.
It has got a lot better over the past four weeks so i am now very glad i had it done.”
“The surgery itself is amazing. Pain free and my eyesight was good that night. I woke up the next day able to see as well as I had with glasses. I struggled to read close up to start but that has got better with time and I'm almost back to where I was before surgery with the bonus of being able to see distance.
My vision is better than 20:20 but my left eye still gets a bit dry and blurry. Hopefully this will sort itself out over the coming months. Aftercare is good but I had to book in the 3 month appointment myself. It would be reassuring to have a courtesy call for this. I would recommend Optical Express laser eye surgery to my friends and I wish I had done it sooner.”
“The whole process has been great, the pre-consultation was very good, my expectations for the day of surgery were far worse than I experienced. The actual surgery was no
more than
a minor discomfort and the recovery time was less than 48 hours to being able to see clearly without any irritation.
I am very satisfied with the results”
“Found it hard wearing glasses at work so after having laser surgery its ten times better as i have to look at drawings and paper work on a work shop floor where safty specs are needed.”
“I am so happy that I took the plunge and had laser eye surgery. All the staff who I've met have been so helpful, and really put your mind at ease. The only pain I experienced lasted for about an hour and a half after the surgery and since then my eyes have felt very comfortable. It is the best thing I have ever done!”
“I am very happy with my new eyes, not wearing glasses is wonderful, I would recommend it to anyone who has had enough of wearing glasses it is wonderful”
“The service and staff at Optical Express has been excellent. All of my questions have been answered and explained clearly.
The staff are friendly and well informed and lens replacement surgery has provided me with greater than 2020 vision. Far better than the varifocal contact lenses I was wearing prior to the surgery.
The surgery was not painful but the results are fantastic.”
“very happy with service the whole way through from first eye test to teh after care. I have been well looked after and made to feel very confident with the whole procedure. the staff at the swindon and cabot branch were lovely and of needed would defo have done again and would defo recommend”
“I am so delighted with the surgery and the end result is fantastic I just hope that the distance comes a bit clearer in the next 3 months, otherwise a very happy customer.”
“I got the jitters on the morning of the operation when I went through the 'what can go wrong sheet' and nearly left. Fortunately I stayed. The operation itself is not particularly pleasant but it is short and the staff were very reassuring. My eyes were grainy and difficult to keep open post operation. After a couple of hours it became painful like strong soap had been dropped in my eyes. Ibuprofen sorted this. I retired to bed with goggles on for the rest of the day and listened to music. The next morning I awoke, no discomfort, removed my goggles and reached for my glasses as I have done for as many years as I can remember. They were not there! I then noticed I could read the title and artist of a picture on the wall of the bathroom about 15 feet away which I had never noticed and would never have been able to read prior to the operation. Eyesight was 6/5 when tested the day after op and I drove my wife home as I had better eyesight than her! Wearing goggles and not showering properly for a week was a pain but I could not really be any happier with the results after the first 4 weeks. Every day I notice things that I have not seen properly for 40 years!”
