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.

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.

Forgot to say: good luck with it. It's one of the best things you can do and the sense of freedom afterwards is enourmous. I'll admit to having a small cry when I could read car numberplates without my glasses for the first time in years.

Originally posted by LightshipHalos can be an issue if you have high pupil diameters. Starbursts can also be an issue.
The biggest issue I had was with dry eyes. I used artificial tears for about six months after the procedure. Also, light sensitivity can also be a problem initially, so invest in a decent pair of polarized sunglasses.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostNot FDA approved. You can re-do laser correction too in most cases something goes wrong. Not all, but since both involve cutting the eye I'd guess this is still the case to a degree.
Interesting idea slthough I assume it cannot correct astigmatism which is no good in my case.

At least they're reversible if anything goes pear shaped.
