i had mine done 3 yrs ago , cost Ł2995 , i sold my first FRST to get it done , its the best thing i have ever done, i had the eye exam in my local store then I went up to bristol to have the op

ben

 

Had mine done by ultralase 7 years ago had no trouble with it paid Ł2,000 over a year interest free deal they had . Would say only down side would be my eyes now seem not as good at night and are more sensitive when out in the sun but with the improvement with my eye sight would reccomend getting it done .

 

Cheers for the info guys, when you say local store Ben what do you mean by that? excuse my ignorance.

She had it done in Optical Express at Bluewater.

 

my old boss had it done,,, they fucked it up and hes got major sight issues and has spent a fortune trying to get it corrected,, this is a bloke worth 180 million aswell might i add

 

Where did he go Ginge?

Mike

 

Was that the tests Steve or laser surgery?

Mike

 

I had mine done about 5 months ago after wearing contact lenses for the last 15 years, I went for the top treatment I paid Ł1950 and that was with the discount at optical express it does work and the vision is nice I can’t fault it during the day it’s brilliant but not pin sharpe eyesight from a long far distance but at night time or in the dark it’s not all the best at the moment which is the main thing I’m concern about but like they say should get better in time, the night glare is almost gone and so is the dry eyes when you wake up in the morning but not what I expected it to be for that kind of money It’s taken me a while for my eyes to recover to have that 20/20 vision, as they say every ones eyes are different, my brother had his done a few weeks after mine and his recovery time was faster than mine but when I do go for my next check up appointment Iam gonna complain and see what they say and can do about it I hope this info has helped you and hasn’t changed your mine as I will still go for it.

 

It was for both Mike, had the test on a Sat, was a 60 min test and the surgery on a Wed, was in for surgery for 20mins, came out and had to wear sunnies for a couple of hours, no driving or PC's for 12 hours and had to use saline drops for a couple of weeks or for irritation (sp) but nothing needed now.

Hope that helps Mike

 

Something I have been seriously thinking about too. What happens during the procedure? Clamp your eyelids open and in it goes? Did it hurt at all? I'm a pussy thats all

 

The wife had it done about 4/5 years ago at ultralase about 3k from mem, No problems and deff the worth having it done.

Mark

 

Thats brilliant Steve,

Cheers

Mike

 

Yep!

Clamp your eyelids open and in it goes?

1 eye at a time though

Not that I went in though (i dont do eyes) eeeeeeeeeeeek

You can hear the laser zappin about too, and the smell!!

 

Hum, where did she go for it Mark, l looked on the Ultralase sight and saw a picture of the surgery in Cambridge and it looked like a run down unit lol

Mike

 

Guildford.

Mark

 

totally agree. If light is low my vison is not perefect but still good. I find when I go shoppin into a store eg sainsburys my vision is slightly off.

yea sorry mate I should of made it more clear

I went into my local optical express in torquay on a Wednesday for a free consoltation to see if my eyes r good enuff to have the procedure done. I paid them and they send me up to there optical express in Bristol

So many people get it done these days I would not even worry. Well apart from matey above who had his eyes fucked up. What happened there then ?

 

Cheers Mark, the trouble with getting them done is she might realise l am ugly fucker

3k does sound a fair bit though

Mike

 

Cheers Ben, l might get her to pop in to the local Opticians then and see what they say,

Mike

 

The price did depend on what procedure they did, I think it could have been up to 1k cheaper on the other type,
IMO worth every penny.


Mark

 

I would feel a tight twat saying you can have them done but the cheap option she has a stigma in one eye l know for sure so really l guess the best thing is to pop in, l presume it is all no obligation etc?

Cheers

 

had mine done around 18month ago at ultralase in manchester at a cost of nearly 4 grand had the full monty for that tho, had my eyes mapped , took less then 5 mins per eye and now have just better then 20/20 vision , up to now iv got no issues , lifetime warrenty meaning if anything needs doing its free

 

Morto, can you please tell me what the full monty is?

Cheers

Mike

 

Had mine done last May by Optical express, Cost €4,300. I opted for the best procedure i could get. My eye sight was crap. Couldn't see a thing at night before i had it done (I drive fire engines ) Can read 2 lines better than 20/20 vision now!! I would reccommend it. Its not painful having it done just uncomfortable. Think i still have money off vouchers if anyone wants em.

 

have a look at the prices

http://www.ultralase.com/vites/pricing

they have gone up mine was about 2000 per eye using the best laser and the most up to date mapping of your eyes you can have it done cheaper but its not as good

 

Cheers for the info guys, it has definately given me something to work from,

Mike
