LASIK review by Dick Best
Former England & British Lions Coach
Date: 12 May 06
Procedure: LASIK Advanced CustomVue Wavefront
Surgeon: Mr. Stefan Klopper
The object of my having corrective laser surgery was to dispense with the wearing of glasses on a permanent basis, Optical Express has allowed me to do just that and in the most seamless fashion. I was made to feel special from the moment I walked into the store for consultation, thereafter, I experienced the most professional service I have encountered from any retailer, I was treated as an individual, with great skill and with the comfort of knowing that this operation was going to be a success from start to finish. The whole process is wonderfully slick, without ever getting the impression you are part of a production line. The actual operation is pain free, the pre and post operation care unbelievably case sensitive and with the added bonus of very little time off work. I am eternally grateful to Optical Express for their attentive care, for what is not an insignificant operation. I now have vision that is well above 20-20 and I am glasses free. I cannot thank you enough!

I previously used the Nidek system but found that the results were less than optimal in many patients. Since using the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System at Optical Express, I say with confidence that this technology is the best and out-performs any other system, including the Nidek. The results are phenomenal.
