Anyone had laser eye surgery done locally?

I'm thinking of giving it a go, but would prefer not to have to go the centre of town to have it done. Would be brilliant to have it done locally or towards Bromley way. Has anyone had it done locally?


Failing that, has anyone had it done and could recommend their surgeon?


Many thanks.

Hello Sarahew,


I had it done on Tuesday morning and here I sit, typing without glasses for the first time in over 10 years. I cannot recommend my surgeon highly enough. Mr Carp at the London Vision Clinic, here:

The whole process was stress free. Their tests are very thorough and take hours. The actual surgery only takes 20 minutes. It isn't painful but it is uncomfortable (on a par with a bikini wax). They sent me home with painkillers and sleeping pills but I didn't need them. Excellent customer service; they can't do enough for you. Wish I'd done it years ago - don't wait.

Thanks Giggirl. The London Vision Clinic is supposed to be very good isn't it? And expensive. Would you mind if I asked how much it cost?


Really glad to hear you've had such a good experience. That's what I'm hoping for.


I'm also wondering if I'm too old, at 42, and I might start to need reading glasses anyway. Maybe I should do it anyway. I hate wearing glasses, always have, and i can't get on with contacts.

I paid ?4,800. I may have paid less if I'd shopped around but to be honest price wasn't a factor; I wanted the best clinic and I think they are.


I did a lot of online research at the beginning of the year, but I can't tell you how the price compares with other services I'm afraid.


If you are serious about getting it done and want to have a chat and a cuppa with someone who's been there, then feel free to PM me and I'll happily meet up.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
