“Best decision i've made. No more worrying about how many contact lenses i have to bring with me when i'm going on a trip, no more glasses.
I'd definitely reccomend laser eye surgery to anyone considering it.”
“I was a little optimistic about having the treatment as I am not too keen on anything to do with eyes but during the treatment I was made to feel extremely comfortable and the aftercare has been fantastic, there was always someone on hand to answer my questions and I would definatley recommend this treatment to anyone thinking about having it, thank you Optical Express :-)”
“When I arrived at the optometrists for my laser eye surgery I was not worried, as the procedure had been explained to me and was only going to take 10 minutes. I am glad it not take long as it felt a little unnerving during the treatment, only beacuse the surgeon is touching your eyes and it is a little uncomfortable due to the pressure that is felt. However it is over so quickly and so worth it. After my surgery my eyes felt fine but my vision was milky, when I got home my eyes felt gritty and uncomfortable and sensitive to light, but I knew this was normal and just went to sleep for a few hours. After which my eyes felt much better and I could watch tv. I could not tell how clear my vision really was until a few days later when they started to heal. I had some problems with dryness on the pupil which made my vision look a little cloudy in my left eye but Joel gave me drops to fix this and within a few days of using it my vision was much clearer. It was only after my week-after eye test that I really knew my vision was better as it turned out it was better than 20/20. I am now very happy with my vision, my eyes are still a tiny bit dry but I had this problem previous to treatment and the eye drops I will fix and prevent this. Overall I am very happy with the whole experience and the staff were all great. Recommended highly!”
“OE made the whole procedure very easy and the outcome was much better than expected. The experience was very easy and explained very clearly. The only negative was I had to insist on and a 4 day post opp visit as none were left at the time”
“I had the laser lasik treatment in 2009 on my both eyes. At the beginning it was so clear i could browse and read without glass. But now slowly it is going back to pretreatment stage.I am starting to use glass for browsing,reading and hopping perhaps tomorrow morning can be better like 2009.”
“Having struggled with wearing varifocals and all types of contacts lenses to correct my vision its now great to be ready to see from the moment I wake up! Thanks Vision Express.”
“I was wearing glasses over 5 years, and always wanted to get rid of them. I accepted this opportunity to make a laser eye surgery. To be honest, I was really scared and worried about surgery. But now I am more then happy, because it has changed my life. I don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore. I can just wake up and go wherever I want, without any discomfort...
I would suggest it to everybody who just want be free from glasses, and wasting time on to choose frame etc... It so easy now! Its great!
Thank you guys for all hard work and for effort you done fo me! It was pleasure!”
“Have/Would recommend Birmingham Optical Express to anyone, fantastic not wearing glasses and get a very good feeling about the staff and place. Would have the surgery here again without a seconf thought if I had to.”
“I thought it would be much more difficult. The staff were great and very knowledgeable and the surgery took less time than I thought. I just need my eyes to settle down andbecome less dry now.”
“It took me a while to make the decision to have laser eye surgery wondering if it was the right thing to do but it was! I have worn glasses for nearly 30 years. Its not out of vanity that I had it done but for all the small things that some people take for granted like waking up and being able to see the clock without having to search for my glasses and being able to take my son swimming and being able to see him. I never got on with contact lenses and only wore them occasionally for a couple of hours. I would recommend laser eye surgery and would definitely recommend Optical Express. The staff made me feel at ease throughout as I was quite nervous and it was not painful at all. It was over with so quickly. Now I am prescription free!”
“Anyone reading this review who is considering Laser Eye Surgery all I would say is do it. I live in Sheffield and had my initial consultation at the clinic in Meadowhall but I had the actual surgery at Manchester. Both clinics were absolutely brilliant. Any questions I had were answered in a way I could understand without any pressure to go ahead. The procedure was explained in full detail. I had the LASIK wavefront surgery and choose to have the mechanical flap rather than a laser flap, at first the thought of the flap been created with a tiny blade made me feel a little sick and I was extremely nervous however the procedure was totally pain free and was complete in less than 10mins, once the drops had worn off my eyes stung a little, the best way I could explain this was I felt like I'd been chopping strong onions, runny eyes and a stinging sensation, my eyes were sensitive towards the bright lights of passing cars so I just kept my eyes closed. By the time we got back from Manchester to Sheffield the sensation had gone and I sat at home watching TV without any problems at all. My vision has never been this good, I feel like I can see everything in permanent HD, it's amazing. I wore contact lenses for 15 years and I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to not have them anymore. I would highly recommend Laser Eye Surgery to anyone and I can honestly say I wish I had done it years ago.”
