i had laser correction treatment at the Birmingham branch of Optimax in June 2006. I had the gold treatment, where the flap is cut by laser and eye reshaped by the laser. The treatment was completely painless, only horrible bit is the smell of your burning eye ball. All over and done with in ten to fifteen minutes.
it's been 3 1/2 years since i had it done, and at my last eye test I was -0.25, which is amazing considering before the treatment I was about -6.25. You soon get to take it for granted again.
It's just fantastic not having to think about where your glasses are, or putting contacts in.
In regards to the treatment, I had it done in the morning, slept the afternoon away, and was fine by next morning, the only thing was the light sensivity for about a month afterward. I was wearing sun glasses inside, a looked like a right berk at work sat in front of my vdu with sun glasses on!
Optimax were nothing but professional. Had consultation with the consultant who carried out the op to advise whether i was suitable for treatment, and once i decided to go ahead, i just called up for an appointment for the treatment. Had after care check up appointments also.
