“Optical Express staff across the courtry have really looked after me during my treatment. You feel that everyone is interested in your well being and the success of your treatment. The actual operation is fast and painless and the eyesight improvement is immediate. Oh what a joy to be able to read without searching for spectacles! Something I havent been able to do for 20 years.”
“From beginning to end, I was looked after with care and everything was clearly explained at every stage. The difference in lifestyle is amazing. After just one eye had been treated I was amazed to find I was adjusting a tiny screw without spectacles without thinking - not just seeing the screw but the groove in it! All the staff at Southampton and in London have been friendly, making you very relaxed about the procedure. Thank you.”
“Not having a really bad prescription I was able to see a lot during the surgery which freaked me out a lot, other than that the surgery went well, my healing is still ongoing with a dry right eye, but overall I am very pleased with not having to wear glasses that were getting in the way of my hobbies.”
“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.”
“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”
“After struggling along with glasses for years (which I hated) and contact lenses (which were fine when in, but I found fiddly to deal with) I decided that 2013 was the year I was going to do something about it, so I made an appointment at optical express and it has changed my life completely, I no longer need the aid of glasses,
I can even thread a needle !!! Best investment I ever spent money on, I would advise anyone thinking about it, find out how much it will change your life and do it.”
