    I think I have also heard it said that there is a risk your eyes could even get worse.And that's what you take with this operation,I think,a calculated risk that may pay off in 9 out of ten cases.

    it didn't work properly for me either and the company did offer to do it again for free but i decided not to take them up on it and have gone back to glasses, but i had complications and couldn't face doing it all again. it's the risk you take.

    I can only really repeat whats been said in the above posts.
    I had laser eye surgery in March this year and I couldn't be more happier with the results!! My consultation included them going through all the risks and pitfalls that can happen and they state that you must read all the terms and conditions 24 hours before surgery. As someone who hates people going near my eyes it was a very big decision for me but I bit the bullet and went for it. My husband who is totally obsessed with small print read it over and over!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
    I think that the clinic is being quite fair.
  • I hope you can encourage your friend to have treatment again, as i did, and now i am happy with my vision. Good luck
