Henry Brydon's Laser Eye Surgery testimonial during his charity
bike ride from London to Sydney
“Hi Optimax, it’s Henry Byrdon here, this is the
second video diary from my charity cycle ride from London to Sydney
raising money for Brain Tumour Research.
Currently here in Cappadocia in central Turkey
on the start of the Silk Road, we finished our first leg of the
trip which was crossing Europe from London to Istanbul for five
incredible months.
We survived to tell the tail and were now on
our second stage as we follow the Silk Road through the Middle East
and through into central Asia.
I want to say a massive ‘Thank You’ to
Optimax for the surgery that I had in February
of this year, absolutely revolutionary for me and it’s made this
cycle trip possible, so thank you, thank you very much.
We have a website for the trip its http://www.theblazingsaddles.com/ so if you would
like to follow us on there perhaps even donate that would be
fantastic, thank you again Optimax and, I will check in again once we
finish the Silk Road route in about five – six months time. “
Henry Brydon days after his Laser Eye Treatment
“On April 24th I leave Shrewsbury, on a bike with all
the kit I need for an 18 month cycle ride, basically I’m going to
be cycling over the course of about 15 months to Sydney in
Australia.
So we are going to be crossing Europe aiming
towards Istanbul, so following down to Shambul and then taking the
Sikh Road into China and then South East Asia and, then eventually
through Indonesia into Australia and, yeah aiming to get to Sydney
in 15 months time.
That’s the plan but we haven’t really
got or are in a huge rush, there’s nothing I need to get
there for in such, but that’s the time frame were working to
financially, as much as anything.
I decided to do the Laser Eye Surgery for cycling reasons, because I
had done a lot of practise trips obviously in the run up and
noticed that with the rain and, the weather in England cycling with
glasses on, when it’s raining is actually really dangerous to be
honest with you.
I found my glasses would steam up, water would
collect on the lenses and, I was constantly wiping and then it
would leave a blurred field of vision anyway and, there was a
couple of instances which were quite scary just because I didn’t
see potholes on the road or things like that, so I knew something
had to be done about it.
I’ve worn contacts before when I was in Dubai
but I just never really enjoyed wearing them. I don’t know whether
it was the humidity there, but my eyes were constantly dry, but
obviously when your doing this sort of trip contacts don’t really
make much sense because, your not really going to be cleaning
yourself for days on end and, obviously you’re dipping into the
solutions or dirty fingers or whatever else with that you’re asking
for an eye infection basically.
The difference is just ridiculous you know not
having to worry about the glasses to start with but, also the
appreciation of things like even the views you come to once you get
to the top pillar or a mountain, you want to be able to see all the
way to the horizon and, see what’s around you and sort of
appreciate what your seeing and, so it’s making a huge difference
to that.
Also other things like road signs as well,
when you’re approaching a road sign and you’re sort of panicking
when you come to a few meters from it because you can’t read it you
might make a wrong turn, or you might do something, or might have a
little bit of a nightmare and, sort of go the wrong way whereas now
it’s not a worry at all, so yeah it’s made an absolutely huge
difference.
Were going to go through a total of 25
countries, although our route is quite flexible, well certainly
flexible in the sort of Middle East region you know getting visas
for Iran and some of the central Asian countries and China can be
quite tricky and, sometimes they just put an outright ban on
letting westerns into certain countries. So we got to be flexible
we want to avoid getting onto a plane at all cost, but if we have
to sort of re-route through Gorgia and maybe sort of Kasistan then
so be it, but on paper at the moment its 25 countries, but yeah
it’s about 18,000 miles I think.
Well I think Laser Eye Surgery has made the world of
difference for this trip. I genuinely think it wouldn’t have been
possible if I didn’t have this treatment. I think it’s going to be
the start of probably a few more trips after that, I’d like to
think. “
All our success stories are volunteered by Optimax patients who are so delighted with
results of their treatment that they wanted to share their
experience with others.
