I
have
worn
glasses
to
correct
short-sightedness
since
I
was
10
years
old,
then
contact
lenses
since
I
was
17.
My
prescription
was
very
high
and
complex
with
quite
severe
astigmatism.
I
had
contemplated
corrective
eye
surgery
on
and
off
for
years
but
only
plucked
up
the
courage
after
a
friend
had
it
done
last
year.
My
experience
of
Optical
Express
Nottingham
has
been
outstanding
from
the
outset.
The
entire
team
were
friendly,
knowledgeable
and
reassuring
.
In
particular,
Ellie
was
my
patient
advisor,
supported
by
Sharon
and
without
the
reassurance
of
them
both,
I
would
have
probably
reconsidered
going
ahead
(my
own
anxieties,
nothing
else).
All
of
the
consultations
were
extremely
thorough,
everything
carefully
explained
and
ensured
informed
choice
all
of
the
way.
Monica
was
amazing,
explained
everything
and
made
sure
I
understood
all
the
information,
answering
any
questions.
The
day
of
the
surgery
(refractive
lens
exchange)
was
very
nerve-wracking
for
me
although
the
surgical
team
were
also
amazing,
especially
Nigel,
who
went
above
and
beyond
make
sure
everything
was
perfect.
Mr
Mathew
was
lovely
and
also
very
reassuring
before
and
during
the
surgery.
Post
procedure,
my
vision
was
already
better,
despite
some
initial
and
expected
cloudiness
on
the
first
day.
For
perspective,
before
the
surgery,
I
was
unable
to
read
any
of
the
visual
acuity
chart
without
glasses.
Not
even
the
single
massive
letter!!
The
day
after,
I
could
read
the
next
to
bottom
line
with
one
eye,
3rd
from
bottom
with
the
other.
2
weeks
later
I'm
at
the
bottom
of
the
chart
with
both
eyes,
last
but
bottom
line
with
single
eyes!
Nothing
short
of
miraculous
and
life
changing
after
40
years
of
being
entirely
dependent
on
glasses.
I
do
have
some
issues
with
dry
eyes
but
had
these
before
the
surgery
so
will
keep
using
the
comfort
eye
drops
for
this.
Without
a
doubt,
the
best
decision
I've
made
and
wish
I
had
been
brave
enough
to
do
it
years
ago!.
Every
morning
when
I
wake
up,
I
could
quite
literally
cry
at
being
able
to
see
the
time
on
the
clock!
Simple
things
:)
Would
I
change
anything?
Absolutely
nothing!
Would
I
do
it
again?
Hell
yes!
(
but
fortunately
don't
have
to
:)
)
Thank
you
Ellie,
Sharon,
Monica,
Nigel
and
of
course
the
amazing
surgical
skill
of
Mr
Manu
Mathew!
Life-changing!
