Laser Eye Surgery Cost Cutting Tips

seahorse13

I had laser eye treatment at Optimax (Epi-Lasek with Wavefront) about 2 weeks ago and cannot reccomend them enough! My eye sight was better than 20:20 3 days after the op!
I am so amazed with the results, after being so worried about it!

Anyway, when you have the treatment they give you some little cards to recomend friends. I get £50 and the person get £500 off the price of treatment. If anyone wants one, or wants my details please email me:

Has anyone any experience of the lens implant surgery? My sight is too poor to have laser surgery, however, the lens implant is suitable.

I have posted this on the referral board but assume it's OK to repeat it here:

I have to admit that I haven't yet had laser eye surgery but hope to do so when I've saved up enough Tesco vouchers to get the cost down enough. In the mean time I received an email from Optimax with a referral code for 'friends' to save £100 on treatment, plus I get £100 cash for the referral. I will split that with you so you get £100 off plus £50 cash. Then any £50 leftovers can go into my eye surgery savings pot!

PM me for details.

As a caveat: as I say I haven't used optimax at all so can't vouch for them personally but I do plan to and there seem to be plenty of recommendations on this site. See optimax.co.uk for further details.

Many thanks.

PS Although this doesn't look as good as the £500 referral, I THINK that is for the more expensive Wavefront treatment only, whereas this is for any treatment. Do check if in doubt.

If you are thinking about laser eye surgery abroad, dont be tempted by the thought of holiday and surgery in one. Although this is often a bonus, as well as saving lots of money, many laser procedures require continious monitoring after surgery and so check that these appointments can be done in the UK.

Hey I had intralase with wavefront on 18/12/08 prior to this my right eye was -6.5 and left was -5.5. Today my right eye is -0.75, left is fine and I have been told I need another intralase top up just for right eye.

Has anyone had a laser top up, please advise??

Any dangers??

What should I be asking them before I decide to go ahead with the laser top up??

hiya hun i have sent you an email with code, dont be nervous its over so quickly , just make sure you have someone with you, the best thing you can do when you get home is a sleep for a couple of hours to rest your eyes, mine were fine when i woke up.

I had mine done at Ultralase Cardiff last Friday. It was a little bit uncomfortable but there's honestly nothing to it. When the anasthetic drops wore off my eyes started to stream and were difficult to open for a few hours but not painful. I had an early night as couldn't do much else. All was fine when I woke up Saturday morning. You'll be fine. Good luck.

Hi guys

Really want to get my eyes done now, have been thinking about it for years but keep putting it off.

I have an astigmatism in one eye and my prescription is -4.75 in both eyes, i think. I did to go to optimax last year for a consultation and was told i'd need epi-lasik as i have thin corneas - has anyone else had this done?

What was it like please? Really want to get it done in the next few weeks, but getting nervous just thining about it!
