You finally had that 'I LOVE TEH COCK' tattoo removed then bud?
You left yourself wide open for that and I couldn't resist, sorry.
Honestly not great but not bad either, I was initially very worried as my right eye was healing alot slower than the left. The 7 day and 21 day checkups didn't make me feel much better as it felt like they were fobbing me off by saying 'don't worry it can take weeks or even months before you get the final effect'. For a few weeks I thought it was bullshit and was ready to demand a retreatment but after about 6 weeks my vision felt great, the dryness in the eyes cleared up and the light halos at night vanished.
All in all it wasn't a bad service, I would have expected better customer service and support for the price though. That said I could have paid an extra £1000 to have the exact same treatment done at the Royal Eye Hospital in Manchester and been treated shabbily like an NHS patient and been stuck in a shitty waiting from with the only refreshment being a vile tasting 10p of tea from a machine. At least the place I went to had nice coffee and biscuits, oh and big leather sofa with a TV to watch. The staff weren't the best though, I must admit I did expect to be very well treated considering the cost and the fact that I paid £2600 for a 10 minute operation.
Not enough time to read the thread so sorry if its already posted!
Does it hurt, even in the slightest? After? During?
Going by what some people have said, the actual procedure is OK, can be some discomfort in the weeks after the procedure. Lots of eye drops, patches, etc

Yeah, I think its worth it...but gonna wait 5 years or so before I have it. Laser eye surgery still in its relatively early days.
For me no not at all, it was uncomfortable and nothing more. Some people do have sore eyes for a few days after but paracetamol takes care of that along with the eye drops which stop any inflammation.
Is it like £400 an eye?

Heres the risks:
If you have Laser surgery you can never fly a plane at night - the damage to night vision makes it too dangerous whereas you can with glasses or contact lenses.
LASER EYE SURGERY - Possible complications
I personally wont do it because I dont think the risks are worth it for a temporary benefit and theres no guarantee you wont need glasses after surgery.
Out of curiosity how bad was your sight before you got it done (as i am 4.0 in each eye)?Wavefront scanning eliminated the abberations that cause poor night vision, the older and cheaper laser eye surgery can indeed leave you with halos around lights at night though.
As for no guarantees, at any decent place you are entitled to re-treatments within 12 months to achieve reasonable vision as long as your corneas are thick enough to be treated more than once. That was wrote into my contract and is rapidly becoming standard in the industry.

The £400 an eye places are a big risk, it can work but they use lasers that are 10 years old and not very accurate. I have heard some horror stories about those places but I shall say nothing more as I don't want to put anyone off having surgery that I condsider to be the best money I ever spent.
Pay the extra and go somewhere decent, it isn't cheap but you will need your eyes till the day you die and there are not something you should take a risk with. Also if they say your cornea's are a bit on the thin side then you should walk away, the thinner your cornea the bigger the risk of something going wrong and the less likely you will be of getting great results.

But, about laser eye surgery, i'm still waiting for laser eyes to become available.
