After
some
time
I
decided
to
write
a
review
for
Care
Vision
Cologne.
The
initial
situation
was
around
-5
diopters
in
both
eyes
and
a
cylinder
of
-4
and
-2.
My
Lasik
surgery
took
place
at
the
end
of
2017
(I
was
22
years
old).
At
that
time
I
was
at
the
preliminary
examinations
in
Cologne
and
Krefeld.
My
father
and
I
decided
to
do
the
operation
together.
I
can't
say
much
about
the
operation
itself,
I
was
very
nervous
but
everyone
was
super
nice
and
it
went
over
very
quickly.
Same
with
my
father.
The
next
day
we
were
supposed
to
come
for
a
check-up,
but
I
was
very
surprised
that
father
was
behind
the
wheel
when
he
picked
me
up,
since
I
still
felt
capable
of
doing
so.
I
had
little
pain,
but
the
vision
wasn't
that
good.
In
the
several
follow-up
examinations
it
also
became
clear
that
my
eyes
were
still
sometimes
fluctuating
between
-0.5
and
-1.5.
Of
course,
I
was
very
dissatisfied
at
the
time
and
actually
had
to
buy
glasses
again
so
I
could
drive.
So
everything
took
its
course
and
I
drove
to
Cologne
about
every
2-3
months,
but
every
time
the
doctor
sent
me
home
feeling
upset.
The
values
would
fluctuate
so
much
every
time
that
it
would
not
be
possible
to
carry
out
subsequent
surgery.
After
3
years
I
gave
up.
I
had
no
more
energy
to
be
disappointed.
And
there
was
no
support
from
Care
Vision
either.
I
felt
like
once
you've
had
surgery
and
they're
no
longer
interested
in
you.
In
January
2023,
however,
I
pulled
myself
together
again.
I
was
tired
of
glasses
and
I
had
paid
to
not
have
to
wear
glasses
anymore.
My
doctor
no
longer
worked
there
at
the
time
and
I
was
referred
to
another
doctor.
He
actually
gave
me
hope
that
we
could
do
it.
He
explained
to
me
that
we
would
do
a
PRK
since
you
probably
can't
do
another
Lasik.
That
was
completely
fine
for
me,
but
I
was
only
quickly
guided
through
the
procedure
of
the
operation,
so
I
actually
had
no
idea
what
to
expect
from
a
PRK.
In
any
case,
I
made
an
appointment
for
February
2022.
The
day
before
the
operation
I
was
called
that
we
should
postpone
the
day
of
the
operation
by
one
day
because
a
few
preliminary
examinations
should
be
carried
out
(I
found
that
a
bit
strange).
After
these
examinations,
the
doctor
told
me
that
he
couldn't
operate
on
me
tomorrow,
he
would
like
to
discuss
this
with
the
medical
director
first
and
then
he
would
get
in
touch.
But
he
didn't
-
I
contacted
him
in
April
-
he
had
forgotten
me.
We
agreed
on
a
new
laser
appointment
for
PRK
in
September.
The
operation
itself
went
very
well
again,
this
time
also
with
less
excitement.
When
asked
“And
how
was
it?”
I
said
more
pleasantly
than
the
Lasik,
to
which
the
doctor
said
"Yeah,
wait
and
see."
He
then
also
gave
me
anesthetic
drops
in
case
of
an
“emergency”.
I
have
to
say
from
all
the
reports
I've
seen
about
PRKs,
my
pain
has
been
very
subdued.
It
wasn't
significantly
more
painful
than
the
Lasik
operation.
The
healing
process
was
of
course
significantly
longer,
but
I
think
that's
normal.
After
the
operation
I
never
saw
the
operating
doctor
again;
the
follow-up
discussions
took
place
with
an
employee.
I
had
my
last
follow-up
examination
in
December
2022
and
am
satisfied
with
my
vision
to
date
(January
2024).
I
haven't
had
an
eye
test
since
then,
but
I
don't
notice
any
deficits
either.
I
haven't
had
to
use
drops
for
about
2
months
now
because
my
eyes
are
no
longer
dry.
My
conclusion:
In
the
end,
the
result
is
of
course
good.
However,
I
am
very
dissatisfied
with
the
support
from
Carevision.
If
everything
doesn't
go
smoothly
during
the
operation,
you
need
a
lot
of
perseverance
(I
think
I
was
there
about
30
times).
