“Despite being cared for across two practices (York and Leeds), I received the same high standard of care at both, and all members of staff were aware of my needs. I was nervous before the treatment, but was calmed down by the nurses, and before I knew it, it was done! Brilliant aftercare, and a wonderful technician who has kept an eye on me during my post-op care.”
“I was very apprehensive before surgery but the experience was nothing to have been worried about. I wish I had utubed the op before and seen how it is done - especially Philip Schofield's surgery for 'This Morning' - easy peasy - a little discomfort but it doesn't hurt at all :)”
“From day 1 have felt extremely comfortable all me dealings with staff have been extremely friendly.professional and really made me feel like I was important to all of them.I would recommend anyone as my experience has been extremely positive.”
“Almost no discomfort at all. The surgery was quick and unusual rather than unpleasent. All staff I have found helpful, infromed and attentive. Minimal waiting and plenty of infromation. It was alittle un-nerving, whilst waiting for my op. another customer came out looking frail. Otherwise my experience has been wonderful.”
“Surgery was not painful but I did experience discomfort afterwards worse than anticipated, however this went away after about a week and my vision is great apart from some dryness and needing to wear sun glasses in the sunshine (not a bad thing). I use the dry eye drops and they really help the dry eyes so it is not a real problem for me. The staff at the surgery centre in nottingham and in derby have been really nice and helpful and I am very pleased with the service i have received.”
“The process was amazing right from the start. I was intially worried as, of course, anyone would be. However, right from the inital visit I was comforted and helped by every member of staff. The surgery itself was incredible, no pain and perfect vision almost right away.”
“I would highly recommend Optical Express to my family and friends. If it was made more affordable more people would certainly have this procedure done.”
“I have long considered laser surgery and was well aware that I would swap the ability to read without glasses with the ability to see distance without glasses. The process that I have gone through with optical Express has been friendly and clearly explained, as have the likely outcomes but I am dissapointed that my distance vision isn't as good as it was with glasses. I am told I still have better than 20 20 vision, which may be correct, but its still not as good as I had hoped it would be. On balance, I would get it done again if I could go back in time, as the pleasure of not wearing glasses whilst doing many activities is tremendous.”
“I feel that this enhancement surgery was a lot more painful than i expected, it also envolved a lot more recovery time than expected and if i had known this before i would not have gone through with it. I am however very pleased with the results as i no longer am needing to wear glasses.”
“surgery was dealt with professionally, all staff very helpful, procedure for right eye was painless and took very little time, surgery for left eye took longer and was slightly uncomfortable.
post surgery left eye has been "sticky" and sometimes dry, artificial light does affect vision when reading documents, newspapers etc, no problems with PC work; reading text on TV; blackberry or ipod;
night driving vision has improved although still see halo's round brake lights etc, no longer have problems with oncoming headlights
no other asdverse effect and more than pleased with the outcome”
“Having had my lens replacement in June and July of 2012 I can only say that my eyesight is now perfect and wish that I had this procedure done long ago. I have now got rid of my distance, computer and reading glasses all in one go. Definitely recommend getting this done as this is now the eyesight I will have for the rest of my life.”
“I had Lasek surgery, this had a longer recovery time than the other Lasik. After the surgery my eyes were sore and sensitive to light for a day or so. However the drops that I was given provided sufficient relief from this, over the course of the next week I noticed my eyesight getting better and better each day. Now 4 weeks after the surgery my vision is almost perfect and so much better than when I had to wear contact lenses. I am happy with the end results of my surgery.”
“Fixing and driving Tanks is no place for a speccie was always loosing and breaking glasses.just not for me.
I maybe had the op before i really needed it but i don't regret it.
Was worried i would trade great long distance sight for close up work ,But no,i ended up with both.
Cheers”
“i have had great experience from staff,optom to surgeon, everyone has been very helpful throughout.i would definately recommond it to family and friends”
“Even though i have a little ghosting...it's only been one month!so far i am very happy that i had th. Excellent service with all round care from the front line staff in the shop to the consultant...the aftercare is also commendable!! Well done optical express !!”
