LASIK review by Dan Moore
Scottish Rugby Physiotherapist
Date: 04 Mar 08
Surgeon: Miss Susanna Boytha
Location: Glasgow ACE, Glasgow
I cannot recommend Optical Express and this treatment highly enough. I have worn contact lenses for 15 years (-5.50 prescription) and within a day of the procedure was at better than driving eyesight in my left eye and better than 20/20 in my right.
The staff at Edinburgh (for my consultation) and after-care and Glasgow (for my surgery) were very friendly, re-assuring and professional. The amount of testing and in-depth examination was very thorough. They explained the procedure to me and gave me all the information that I needed.
The surgery itself was uncomfortable in parts and for 2 hours following it was somewhat painful, but then after a brief sleep, I woke up without pain and was able to watch tv without contacts lenses for the first time in 15 years! The following day there was no problem and within a week I had better than 20/20 vision in both eyes.
It has changed my life, and I have obviously been raving so much about it that my wife is now getting it done! The freedom to wake up in the morning and see perfectly is something I am still getting used to and only people with poor vision would really understand how life changing it would be. Even during long-haul flights my eyes have not dried out. I would recommend this to anybody and the way Optical Express looked after me, they would definitely be the providers to use.
A huge thank you to all the team at Edinburgh and Glasgow and surgeon Susanna Boytha.

I previously used the Nidek system but found that the results were less than optimal in many patients. Since using the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System at Optical Express, I say with confidence that this technology is the best and out-performs any other system, including the Nidek. The results are phenomenal.
