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.

    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.   
    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.
