I opted to go ahead with laser eye surgery after the birth of my son. I didn't want to have to worry about glasses when playing with him or watching him in the future at school sports day! I opted to choose optical express as they were offering the latest treatments. My experience on the day of the surgery was not quite what I expected and was quite an uncomfortable experience especially when the suction was applied to my eyes. I woke up the next morning with great vision in my right eye but blurred and double vision in my left eye. I was very worried, and when I went for my check up in Cambridge I ended up having to get in the train to see my surgeon in London. It turned out not to be as serious as I feared and over time my vision improved in my left eye. As at my 3 month check-up I have better than 20-20 vision and am glad I had the surgery done, despite the complications on the way. Remember you only have one pair of eyes so don't enter any to decision to have (or not to have) a procedure lightly.
