Default update 6 months after eye laser treatment

hello all, just a quick update on my eyes after having laser eye treatment at manchester ultralase clinic, just had my final check up 6 months on and all is ok!! my eyes are now 2 lines better than 20/20 vision!!! and they told me i was in the top 10% of peoplewere everything has gone correct and near perfect vision as far as laser treatment goes..
the custormer servise at ultralase was absolutly spot on and would recomend them you also get lifetime cover so if ya ever have to go back you pay nothing, i dont suffer from dry eyes and never realy did thruout the whole 6 months, the 4 grand i payed for it i think was well worth it!!

What was your prescription mate. Long or Short? Did you pay in cash or did you get 'tick'

I really want it done

I always wonder if I should get my eyes lasered, asked my optician a few years ago about them and he advised me to leave it till at least my early 20's (now 23).

VERY short sighted then, like myself i cant wear contacts either because when i went for a consultation i just could not get them in, nor could the optician, said something about my eye lids were so strong thats why i couldnt get them in

Not paying thousands for laser either
