Review of lens replacement surgery. I had lens replacement in April 2012 at Cabots Circus in Bristol. At all times the staff were extremely helpful, from the initial consultation, to the surgery itself. I felt very nervous before the procedure and the staff were reassuring and put my mind at rest. The surgery staff were excellent. Now six months on from the surgery, I can say I am extremely happy with the results. My eyesight before was very poor -7 and -8, plus finding it difficult to read close up. I had to wear contact lenses which were becoming increasingly dry and glasses the rest of the time. My distance vision and reading vision were excellent straight away and there has been no adjustment needed. The middle vision took a while longer and if I am honest is not perfect in times of dull light. But the trade off for me is a life without contact lenses or glasses. My eyes have remained dry but that is due to my age and I have been recommended using viscose tears several times a day which has improved my vision greatly. I do have some floaters in one eye, but this is probably more to do with age and the fact I was very short sighted, than the surgery. I am able to ignore these. If anyone asked me about having the surgery, I would recommend it especially for the reading aspect. Obviously, I can only comment on my experience. I do have large pupils and this has made driving at night a bit difficult with glare from oncoming traffic, but this is getting better at the six month mark. Everyone is different and the surgeons are thorough in explaining the risks and benefits etc, which I was grateful for at the time. I am very happy with the result for me and it has made a huge difference to my life. Even simple things like actually being able to read the shampoo/conditioner bottles in the shower. Swimming without the hassle of contact lenses or not being able to see at all. I would recommend Optical Express in Bristol, I have had nothing but excellent service from them.
