“Scared at first. Day of surgery was made much easier by staff making it more relaxing. Surprised how quickly it was all over. The 3 hours following surgery were the worst and very uncomfortable. Once the stinging wore off after that and dry eyes were worst part but releived by tear drops.”
“I decided to have RLE surgery as I wanted to be free of reading glasses.
I half expected my distance vision, which has always been very good, to become somewhat worse after surgery. In the event it has not been affected and I am ecstatic about that.
Optical Express has been terrific, and I believe the only area which is worse than before at present (glare, haloes and starbursts) will improve over months as my brain adapts.
Maany thanks to all those involved, and I will certainly highly recommend the RLE procedure in general and OE in particular.”
“Everything that was explained to me at the start of the process was clear and my recovery has been great, with better than 20:20 vision to show for it. No complaints.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the exerience. I had been thinking of having the treatment for the last 10 years but I have always been too scared to actually make an appointment to check the suitability. I approached Optical Express because of a colleague passing me a voucher after she had eye laser surgery. The customer service has been excellent from the very start and all staff has been extremely attentive, helpful and friendly. A minor fear I had, was about being under pressure to get the deposit from me, but I never was under this impression and this is a fundamental point for me as, just like for many other people, feeling that pressure means you feel you are to them just another source of income rather than a person, and this would scare me away. The resullts are excellent and I don't think I could have imagined anything better than this.”
“with such a relatively high presription I was advised that my eyesight would be better than glasses and not as good as contact lenses - it seems that have reacted wll to treatment however and can see as good as contact lenses already - with "improvement still to come".”
“very bad few hours after the surgery, if a further procedure was needed to 'top up' my vision i probably would not go through with it. But the change is so dramatic i would do it from scratch again”
“all staff very helpful and friendly, not sore at all, its great to have your sight back and no glasses or contact lenses.love it.I would recommend it .waited a while for this.”
“i didn't experience any pain after surgery, my vision is better than expected, my dryness afterwards improved and is better that before my laser treatment and definately i would do that again!”
“My experience was quite unique. The day I had the surgery done, the weather was unusually sunny. This caused a lot of discomfort on the journey home form the operation. However, I would still highly reccomend anyone getting the surgery done, as the discomfort lasted only a matter of hours. The benifits have thus far outweighed the discomfort and I hope they continue to do so.”
