Mellors Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yes, had it done on the the Monday morning, had to go to bed Monday afternoon with eyes shut (although had got Tube home on my own, wasn't too awful) then could see perfectly and was back to on normal Tuesday morning. In my experience you'd need help for one day. Wish I had had it done years ago, its amazing!

bluesuperted Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 My husband had it done in 2008. He's thrilled with the results. Same recovery as above and he was very unlucky and they caught a nerve (OUCH!!) but despite that, and some serious pain for about an hour, he was fine after 11pm - he had the procedure at 5pm I think. He had his done on the Finchley Road and I chaperoned him home on the tube etc - they insisted you had someone with you (Optimax). I vividly remember negotiating the wheelie bins and lampposts of Melbourne Grove. An insight into being blind for sure...

zeban Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Can anyone tell me where they got it done and how much it was? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16600-random-question/#findComment-424695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellors Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I had it done at Optimax, Finchley Rd. Can't quite remember how much - ?1500 fo rboth eyes sounds about right. I ignored them telling you you needed somebody with you!

zeban Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks Mellors. A bit out of my price range though unfortunately :-( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16600-random-question/#findComment-424703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuperted Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 There are lots of deals online and my husband used to spend hundreds a year on contacts and glasses so it's probably just about paid for itself now.

ludoscotts Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 hi my hubby had it done recently. recovered in one day. think he said prices from ?395 we had to pay a lot more as my husband wasnt straight forward but are paying it off monthly interest free. he went with optical express. we keep getting vouchers to reccommend people to go for a consultation and you get ?150 off the price. send me a pm zeban if you want a consultation and i can give you some vouchers.

duchessofdulwich Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 thanks for the replies. My friend has some vouchers for optimax (finchiley road) she said the results are fantastic. Im really frightened about it all but im so fed up with contact lenses and the thought of not scrambling around looking for my glasses when the baby wakesup seriously appeals!
