Nick's story - LASEK
Having worn glasses since the age
of six I underestimated the scale of the impact laser eye treatment
would have on my life. Before the treatment I was very short
sighted and unable to do anything without glasses or contacts.
Working at Optimax brought me into
daily contact with laser eye treatment and, seeing the tremendous
benefit to those involved, I decided to take the plunge early in
2004.
Because of thin corneas and my
prescription, I had LASEK surgery on one eye at a time. The surgery
was very simple (waiting outside was the hardest bit!). It was over
quickly and I could see a huge difference immediately.
Within the next few weeks I had
good vision but it was not until I had the second eye treated and
they had both settled down that I truly began to see the benefits.
No more worrying about glasses or contact lenses or solutions.
You constantly have nice reminders
that you no longer need glasses, for example watching my hair being
cut for the first time or walking into a pub from the cold outside
and no glasses to steam up!. I would say to anyone thinking about
treatment, go for it, you won't look back!
