LASIK review by Louise Harte
VeeSee TV Presenter
Date: 14 Jun 07
Procedure: LASIK Advanced CustomVue Wavefront
Surgeon: Mr. David Teenan
It has now been a week since I had both eyes treated using laser eye techniques and I am pleased to say I am happy with my new "NEW EYES". I now have 20/20 vision and it is all thanks to the people at Optical Express.
Obviously I had my concerns about the treatments being a deaf person it was very nerve-racking having work done on my sight as another one of my senses could be out of action for a short while . However the staff at Optical Express did a very good job of easing those fears with their friendly attitude, they managed to make me feel as comfortable as possible while explaining everything very clearly. And I can now say that after 30 years of having to rely on glasses to see, now my main worry is the weather and whether it is nice enough to wear my sunglasses.

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.
