FAREWELL TO MY GLASSES
Some say I was born with
wanderlust because travel is a
big passion of mine; one that I
rely on my eyesight to fulfil. My
eyes allow me to see the beauty
of the world, but as the years went
by short-sightedness started to intrude.
I spent a total of 18 years depending
on contact lenses and glasses and it was
becoming tiresome.
I longed to travel on an aeroplane
without the inevitable dry eyes that
accompanied it and to jump into a pool
without worrying about water getting in
my eyes.
The most tedious challenge for me was
the dreadful task of trying to find a pair
of glasses that suited me. On the rare
occasion I did wear glasses, they would be
nothing but trouble, constantly steaming
up; not to mention the frustration of trying
to get comfortable whilst watching the TV.
Then I was introduced to Ultralase.
Permanent vision correction certainly


Suddenly I see


Rionne’s life changing experience with Ultralase



sounded appealing. The thought
of waking up without needing
to think about putting my
contact lenses in was motivation
enough.
One phone call later and I was
booked in for my first consultation
in their Leicester clinic. The pre-surgery
and aftercare promises were very inviting.
I was recommended Implantable Contact
Lenses, which sit inside the eye between
the iris and the lens and would fix my
short-sightedness once and for all.
During my consultation, no question
was a silly question and believe me I had
a lot of questions. Every aspect of the
procedure was covered in depth with my
surgeon, who I must say did a great job at
calming my nerves.

PROCEDURE DAY
Feelings of nerves and excitement filled
me when I woke up on procedure day. I
just couldn’t believe that soon I’d be able
to see without contact lenses or glasses!
