New Eyes

This week I laid back on a table in Glasgow with suction cups prising my eyeballs up from my skull whilst the corneas of my eyes shall be sliced then hinged back like a lid with a small bent needle exposing the inner surface which then will be tasered by a laser after which the corneas were pressed back in a place like a cd drawer!!!! No, this was not a trailer for a new Saw movie…..This was me taking the plunge and went for “iDesign custom Lasik” (new improved wavefront) got a 3d scan of my eyeballs then a laser was used to remove any and all lumps and bumps which cause visual problems precisely .....as used by NASA and the US Navy for fighter pilots and SEALS...not going to make me flying into work any quicker but won't have to worry about losing my glasses in a concert mosh pit. 20/20 vision or better or my money back, 20% discount as I work for BT (who probably screwed up my eyes in the first place, either that or the years of self abuse) and on post op checks the day after it has been confirmed I now have a line better than 20/20 vision (so no refund but I am happy) and it may even get better once it settles over the next few weeks. After the op once the anaesthetic wore off my eyes felt really gritty and watery. During the procedure there was no pain but it was very strange looking at the little hook the surgeon was using to fold back my cornea like a page of a book, very strange visual sensation. Certainly no pain but a uncomfortable experience, especially the burning smell of the laser I was told the difference between the more expensive custom “iDesign” lasik compared to the standard lasik was like normal TV compared to HD TV as the “iDesign” is precise to my eyes were as the standard one is a common template to fit your prescription. I am very glad I went HD. I had to travel to Glasgow to the clinic in St Vincent street on the Day and the following day for the post op (traveling by train until I got the all clear to drive) For the next week I must use antibiotic drops 4 times daily followed by steroid drops to heal the healing then artificial tear drops every hour and wear sexy googles to bed every night so I don’t scratch my eyes as I sleep. Worth every effort as I now have crystal clear vision and so very happy with the result I would hand on heart recommend this to anyone.
