Meant to be getting lasered today

Nothing in that they haven't burnt anyone's eyes ou tha I'm aware of. They just didn't come over as very professional when I had the initial consultation. Sat waiting over an hour past the appointment time while th receptionists gossiped away. The guy doing the consultation was rushed and reluctant to answer questions.

It was more than likely an off-day for them but for that amount of money (easily double Optimax) and the fact it's your eyes they're working on 100% confidence in the people doing the procedure is bare minimum IMO.

Sounds like either a bad day or a bad branch - obviously the people in each clinic are going to make the biggest difference.
As for price, well I talked them down from £4900 to £2400, for their best product (which they claim isn't offered elsewhere yet).


BTW: 24 hours on I can see pretty well. Some fuzziness but based on a printed-out eye-chart I'm just at 20/20 on the weaker eye. Was very uncomfortable for about 3 hours but then OK, no real dryness so far. MAJOR bloodshot issues where they pushed the suction cup on, but otherwise pretty good.

I have astigmatism is one eye, can that be fixed with laser, if so I am seriously thinking about this.

Depends how bad it is, how much cornea you have, whether it's stable and regular; but in general yes.

Yes but it depends how bad and how bad your other prescription details are. You might as well go get a free consultation (or two) as the will do a 3D scan on your eye and tell you if they'll take you, and how optimistic your outlook.

Excellent. All the messing about, drops in your eyes afterwards, dry eyes etc is well worth it.
