My eyes are watering just thinking of it, but that doesn't stop me wanting to have it done.

Glad it's gone well for you, I'd love to be in that situation

£2k.

I reckon I could accrue that over summer.

I've been qupted £3k for mine.

Was booked in for tomorrow but decided to put it off until I was a bit better off. I could have afforded it but would have been completely penniless for the rest of the month so not really an option. Luckily I realised while I still had plenty time to postpone. Probably get it done in October now.

Spoke to a few hotties today (what is with that, quite a lot of hot women aropticians/opthalmists...) and managed to score a consultation on friday, even though they were booked up for a few months Huzzah!

One problem, how quickly did you eyes start seeing normal again Jonny? I'm driving home technically on saturday 3/4 hour drive, seeing is kinda essential if i'm being picky i guess.....

I'm not actually getting my hopes up i still don't think i'm eligible, but its free and shes pretty looking i also may try them out with contacts too (although she's unsure i'll get an appointment on the same day right now ).

Another cool little feature is i got an automate text from them reminding me of my appointment, its like they know i'm a geek who generally doesnt organise much, but listens to reminders from his phone! Impressed so far!

I wouldn't expect them to do the op same day as the consultation, so the drive home shouldn't be a problem.

Oh i know that But they put drops in your eyes in the consultation that mess you up, she said 24 hours but could be longer, i just wondered how long it took jonny to not look like he was on a massive dilated pupil high.... I'm sure theyre over exaggerating but i don't want to drive home essentially more blind than normal

Mine took a bit longer than 24 hours to be completely back to normal, closer to 48 hours but you'll be fine if you wear sunglasses. It was only unbearable for about 12 hours but everything was quite bright for a good day and a half.

I spoke to them at my checkup and they said thay can do short sight up to -12 now

[Mark]

Ah - drops. Yeah, that sounds about right. Generally you want to be avoiding bright lights for a few days but 24 hours with sunglasses should be OK.

[LeperousDust]

Coolio i generally drive with sunglasses in a lot of cases anyways Hope it isn't too sunny that day! First time you'll hear me saying that!

Someone I work is having an op on her eyes now. She had it last thursday I think and is off for a week. But hers was more complex as she had a bad catarax and could hardly see a thing. I hope it works well for her as she was almost at the point of not being able to see the screen at work even with very stong lens glasses on.

I think my MDs wife got it done recently too and it worked perfectly.

I've gone from not wearing glasses to needing them all the time for tv and work. My sights got worst since. But it would take a while of my sight declining before I get surgery, It's brilliant they can do things like this nowadays!

Tbh Holly, you they won't touch you until your eyesight levels out anyway, so if its getting slightly worse, they'd tell you to wait
