Well I am back and having had a nap I feel find and dandy.
Thank you to everyone for the luck
When I got there, and the surgeon saw me, he decided it would be better for me to have the Lasek with Wavefront (where they cut the "flap" with a blade instead of the laser), I got a bit nervous at that point, but it was a completely painless proceedure, and I CAN SEE!!!
And apparently, my vision is blurry and will improve over the next 48 hours or so.
Right... there are risks, as with any surgery, but they are very small, and IMO they do make sure you are aware.
When I went for my consultation, there was three options,
£795 per eye for surface treatment
£1495 per eye for LASEK (with Wavefront)
£1795 per eye for LASIK (with Wavefront)
(These are particular to my perscription which was quite bad)
I went for the full gold star treatment, but as I said ended up havin the middle one in the end.
So yes, mine cost £3000... a lot of money, but when you think it's your sight, its worth it. I got a discount for booking it on the same day, and I also got a discount for being recommended by someone who'd had it done... (so let me know if any of you want my reccommendation )
I had contacts anyway, but all the little things that it was a pain to do were getting me down, like swimming, diving, walking in the country when it was windy, having a shower without getting water in your face etc etc, so I chose to get it done... and I am extremely happy with it already.
The price includes life time aftercare, so if it needs re-adjusting (which is unlikely), then they'll sort it.
The only thing which is possible I'm told is reading glasses when I hit 45-50 or so, which is a small price to pay IMO.
Each to their own anyway, but I dont regret it one bit....
Thanks again guys.... if anyone wants to know anything else, please ask away!
