During the procedure, the surgeon
talked me through what was happening,
what I should expect to feel and what he
was doing.
I can honestly say there was no pain,
just a very slight discomfort but the actual
procedure was over in the blink of an eye-
excuse the pun.
Before I knew it I was being escorted
to the recovery room by a lovely patient
advisor and treated to tea and biscuits.
I was blown away by the aftercare I
received. Ultralase were still only a phone
call away if I needed anything, which was
very reassuring. Recovery was surprisingly
quick and stress-free. Thinking back, if I
had to do it all again, or do it on someone
else’s behalf, I certainly would.


SEEING IS BELIEVING
What can I say? Since having my vision
restored my self-confi dence has soared.
Gone are the days when I would have to
ask people to read menus, adverts and
posters for me- I can now read them all! I


can’t tell you how liberating that feels.
I feel much more positive when getting
ready because I no longer have to sit so
close to the mirror to apply my make-up; a
daily task I would dread.
One of the fi rst moments I realised just
how much sharper and clearer my vision
had become was when I was able to
read a car registration plate from quite a
distance.
My eyesight really has gone back ten
years.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE
It’s been almost 2 years since my lens
surgery and I still feel great waking up
each morning knowing that I am not
dependent on contact lenses.
When I compare how my eyesight was
pre-surgery to now, I fi nd it hard to believe
the diff erence.
There has never been a day where I
have looked back and I can honestly say
that eye surgery is the best thing I have
ever done. ■
