The Cathedral Eye Clinic operates a ‘total care’ policy. This means that unlike others in the marketplace, the surgeon meets with the patient on a number of occasion’s pre and post op laser surgery.
By Sunday night my vision was starting to get better and on Tuesday I got the post op contact lenses removed.
After that I could legally drive – I could see everything and each day my precise vision got better and better.
In the beginning it took my eyes a wee while to adjust in the mornings but now everything is brilliant.
At the age of 30 I can see really clearly for the first time in years – I have better than 20/20 vision and have the sight of a fighter pilot.
So far I have had three check-ups at the clinic and I have another one in six months time – with the surgeon who conducted my operation.
There is no way to describe this other than a miracle – this surgery has totally changed my life. Every day I notice something else – for example I go running each day and if it was raining my glasses would steam up and my contact lenses would slip. But now I can go out for a run and I no longer think about what I need to do to see.
Being able to see clearly has really given me freedom. I am going on holidays and I used to have to worry about having glasses, lenses prescription sunglasses and having to have all this stuff with me just to go down to the beach or the pool and now I just don’t need to think about any of that.
Even just to wake up in the morning and be able to see is amazing.
So having laser eye surgery has really worked for me but I would say to anyone embarking on it to do their research. This is a serious operation so you must know the risks involved. Make sure you know who is carrying out your procedure and the technology and the safety of the surgical technique used by your surgeon.
With the Cathedral Eye Clinic I couldn’t have asked for better and now I can’t actually believe the difference it has made.
