“I used monthly monovision contact lenses, which I also could leave in when sleeping for some years, as I planed my laser surgery. I wanted to try monovision lenses to see if I could be a candidate for monovision eye surgery and as it happens I was, I was also a candidate for laser surgery and since I went through with it I am extremely pleased with the results. My stigmatism was quite bad, but after surgery my sight was better than ever. I live in Norway and I travelled over specificly to be treated at Optical Express having looked into many options. Dont regret it for a second.”

“Really appreciate all the support. Made the whole process smooth and hassle free. Must admit the post-op recovery was a little more painful than i expected. But after 5 hours the pain went away almost instantly so it's finite which is good.”

“Overall the experience has been good, the surgery and aftercare have been exceptionally good and pain free with only a slight case of dry eyes as an after effect which is easily rectified with the drops provided. Life is so much more enjoyable and easier without the glasses, I would recommend laser eye surgery to anyone.”

“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.”

“Had laser surgery in April and was made to feel really welcome and relaxed. Surgery was no bother at all, although I had to have the surgery again on my right eye as it had not improved enough. Had no worries about getting this done again and eyesight is perfect now. Really pleased with the results.”

“Staff were all kind and attentive and I would have no reservations in recommending Optical Express to carry out laser surgery. The Cheltenham surgery was spotlessly clean and very welcoming. After care is first rate too. Many thanks again to all. Mark Rawlings (43, Bromyard) PS I am very interesting in receiving more details on the Ambassador Referral Programme”

“I was fed up with having to put contact lenses in every day or wear glasses. So I decided to have laser eye surgery. My intital surgery was in 2009. This left a very small perscription in both eyes to which I had to have top up treatment. The top up treatment worked a treat on my right eye with vision still excellent. My left eye over time went back to have a small perscription but less than the time before. I went for a 3rd top up treatment on my left eye in September 2012 and now my vision is excellent in both eyes. The whole process was very easy through Optical Express and the staff being supportive of the top up treatments and ensuring it was safe to carry out.”

“I had laser eye surgery after contemplating it for years and wish I had done it sooner. The results have been amazing and to be able to see clearly without the need for contact lenses or glasses has made such a huge difference. I have just had my one month check up following surgery and my vision is better than 20-20 so you can't really ask for better results than that!”
