Anyone had it? Thinking of doing it using Optical Express..............any experiences?

Don't go cheap as they may go ahead when they shouldn't go to the very best private eye surgeon you can and take his advice, you only get one chance with your eyes!

Completely agree, price wont be the leading deciding factor!

I've been thinking about this for years so will interested to hear if anyone has any recommendations

Not had it done myself, but have constantly thought about it since a good friend had it done 3 years ago. Only thing stopping me is I have a complex prescription and a stigmatsm

He had his done a Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. The surgeon he had also operated on fighter pilots to give them long sight

I know he paid strong money, but the guy came recommended as one of the best. No way on gods earth I'd consider OE or any other chain to be honest. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

The only reason I said Optical Express is I know 2 people who had it done with great results.

I too have a complicated prescription and astigmatism which I understand nowadays is not an issue.

I am expecting to pay around the £2K mark, is this underestimated?

thought about it, but eyes are not that bad yet, sister in law had hers done and was please with results

disco3 had a chat about it a while ago

Optical Express now off the menu.....just read 2 horrible reviews

My wife looked into having done. Her eyes are quite bad and she has to pay for super super skinny and light lenses so at £400 a pair she thought eye surgery in the long term was the way to go. She was warned that due to the fact that her eyes were quite bad, she may struggle to drive at night especially when rainning as it may cause more glare. She therefore decided against, so it's something to think about or ask about. 07 tdv8 stornoway grey at home tucked up

have you searched you tube for videos of it been done

My eyes are not suited to this to improve them but know of folk who have had it done with good and bad results. Think it prudent to do research and find a reputable surgeon to do it.

A friend of ours had contact lenses inserted under a flap of skin on the eye for £7k per eye. She absolutley recommends it. For me, I'd worry every time I rubbed my eye (yuk)!

I would love to have laser surgery done but was told about 5 years ago I'd still require lenses / glasses (that was Optical Express). I'm very short sighted at -11.5 in each eye. Going down the inserted lense route would be the only option for me. They are probably worse now as I'm cracking on a bit.! 2013 (13.5MY) RRS HSE Black | Causeway Grey | Privacy | Ivory & Ebony | Grand Black Lacquer | Style 7 Alloys | AWESOME
