After having measles badly at five I was very short sighted. I had the standard NHS pink glasses with curly ear bits and really hated them, refusing to wear them. When old enough I had contact lens which were OK for many years but then about two years ago I kept getting eye infections and soreness which resulted in having to attend the eye hospital. I was forced into wearing the hated glasses again. I went to find out about having laser surgery nearly a year ago and haven't looked back. The staff at Optical Express have been very caring, helpful and informative. they have been extremely thorough in their care. It is great to no longer have to depend on glasses/contact lens. I have not had any trouble with eye infections since the treatment either.
