My prescription is -4.25 and -3.75 but I am getting older and wonder if I would need reading glasses if I had it done. I have the money, simply scared of it going wrong or still needing flipping glasses:(

My prescription was similar to yours when I had it done and its the best thing in the world not having to wear glasses or fiddle around with flaming contact lens! I know its a bit scary but I had it done 6 years ago...and it will have come on leaps and bounds even more by now!!! I went with Ultralase, have a look on their website.

Hi I used Optical EXpress last september. My prescription was -5.25 and -5. I now have better than 20/20 vision. I hummed and hahed for years b4 deciding to go for it, but eventually decided to go for it. I can honestly say it's the best thing I've ever done, love being able to see in the shower, at the swimming baths, at the gym... in fact anywhere.:D

Research it well, make a list of questions b4 you go and you should be ok.

Hi, I want to know if people have had eye lazer treatment to correct their vision. (if there is a thread already could someone point me in its direction :cool2:)

Could you tell me where you had it done, prices and if you are happy you had it.

I am at the very beginning of my research about this. I want all the facts before I decide to go ahead.

Cheers.

Hi geekgirl, I had laser eye surgery. Was the best thing I ever did!
It was with Optimax, £60 consultation fee and £1000 for both eyes.
Well worth it. I had to wear sunglassess for about 6 months as it is normal to be light sensative for a while. Straight after the surgery I was long sighted for a few weeks til things settled down.
My advice - think about it, decide for yourself and make sure you take your eyedrops treatment. :j
