laser eye surgery

Agree with post #11

I am currently on monovision contacts and fine tweaking for optimum results. Its a solution that works very well and means you dont need readers but at night and in low light conditions, the total visual experience is slightly degraded.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of having laser surgery. My brother just had it done and he loves it. I've been for my initial consultation at the same place and the surgeon said my corneas are nice and thick. This isn't a high street chain but a surgery off Harley Street. The surgeon is well respected and has a lot of experience in this area.

My main concerns are night vision and the long term effects of having this done.

I short sighted and my prescription is -1.75 in both eyes.

Any feedback and experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I wonder how old you are and how long you have had sight issues? Has your script been the same for a long time? Have you considered/trialled contacts? I know someone who had eye surgery and has night time starburst issues and also had to have a revision on one eye. A few years down line he now needs specs again..

I had LASEK at Optical Express 5 years ago aged 43 . I was able to ditch glasses I'd worn since 16. But for the last year I've noticed a deterioriation in my distance vision.

I went back to Optical Express for an eye test and they advised that I would benefit from glasses for night time driving, cinema, that sort of thing. I am very unhappy with this - their sales spiel was that I would not need glasses for distance vision. I was aware that my near vision would still deteriorate, but I wanted to avoid bifocals.
I am very disappointed. I thought I was paying £3-4K for lasting results and that was not the case.

I had LASIK via Ultralase Cardiff 15 months ago.

Prescription of -4.5 and -5

Best thing I ever did. No issues with night glare/halos which some people say can be worse after surgery but my night sight improved dramatically.
