“My husband booked the appointment to see if I was eligible for surgery, I had not thought wearing contact lenses a problem as I had been wearing them for over forty years. At the checkup I was told I was suitable and asked to book in, I wanted to give it further thought but my husband offered to pay for it if I booked in immediately. I did so and had the surgery a week later. I had not realised what I was missing for so long, its a joy to have the gift of sight. My husband knew I would not have the nerve to do it if he had not pushed me along and I am glad I did. My son and my nephew have both had the surgery on my recommendation and are delighted with the results. They both have better than 20 20 vision and do not need glasses for close work or distance. I was warned that due to my age (54) I might need reading glasses after the surgery for close work and I do but the joy of seeing distance and being able to drive at night outweighs that for me. My distance visision is now better than 20 20”
“quick easy and successful, I know dont have to worry about the kids breaking my glasses and also I feel much more at ease without glasses. wish I had done it years ago.”
“procedure much easier than expected, vision better than expected.
only difficulties were - period between getting both eyes done and night starbursts”
“I was worried about all the risks detailed on websites but the surgeon stopped all my worries due to explaining thoroughly. the surgery itself was fairly nerve-wrecking but it was quick and painless and i was informed throughout and after what would happen to my eyes”
“The surgery was quite painful afterwords, but now i'm so glad i went through with it as my vision is a lot better than i expected it to be. Would highly recommend it!”
“Needed IK in one eye and EK in the other. Initial discomfort post operation but the advantage of having the different procedures meant I was able to get the positives from both and vision was perfect almost straight away.”
“Very satisfied with my overall experience, any questions I had were answered in a friendly and timely manner. The procedure itself was explained in detail to me and was over with quite quickly, I was made to feel relaxed and at ease. The immediate 8 hours after the surgery were unpleasant as I experienced grittyness and a sensation of a foreign body in my eyes. This subsidied and I noticed my eyesight had improved dramatically within 8 hours. 3 months later I am very happy with the treatment, contact lens and glasses free! My only wish is that Optical Express could cure lazy eye completely!”
“I would definitely do it again if I had to and recommend to anyone who wears lenses and I wish I'd done this years ago. Not having to find my glasses in the morning or try and wear my lenses without having sore eyes, it has changed my day to day activities hugely!”
“Definately did not like having to travel so far. Real pain when not used to driving in London. But eye operations were carried out very well. All staff were excellent. Cant really find any fault with the way every aspect of aftercare seems to be covered. So well done.”
“Initial concerns due to eye inflamation would seem to have held back the healing process; however after 3 weeks and very good aftercare my near sight is now better that 20/20 (I am over 50 and had a very strong prescription, having worn glasses for over 40 years!!). I now only need glasses for reading. Thank you to all concerned at Optical Express.”
“I was extremely nervous about the proceedure but all staff were very helpful and reassuring and I was put at ease both before and during. There was discomfort after the proceedure but this was better the next day and continued to get better. I am extremely happy with the results and can see perfectly without glasses!”
“Initial treatment not painful and quick. Staff very helpful and friendly. Eyesight is still a little blurry but it is a lot better than when i used to take my glasses off. Hopefully in a few more weeks my eyesight will be perfect.”
“Treatment was quick and painless, cant believe the change in vision from the first day of surgery to now, better than i ever thought it could be. Have recommended you since!”
