I think unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for the surgery (I am not, we did look into it, my eye sight is also pretty crappy) and they don’t make that clear in the adverts, and some of the companies have actually gotten into trouble for carrying out surgery on patients who aren’t actually suitable, who have not had good results. My ophthalmologist says it doesn’t give you perfect vision, but nearly perfect, but he did say it depends on the individual. I think, it should be available on the NHS for those that are suitable, and it should be far better regulated. I just object to being told my life must be crap, by a TV advert, if you know what I mean?

To wake up with clear sight & not having to poke something on my face or in my eye first would be wonderful feeling. If I felt sure it would work, Id have laser surgery done. But, if I wasnt quite so short-sighted, I’d be happy with my glasses (I like the look of them) or my lenses (i dont mind them). I think it’s just the thought that if I had surgery, I’d not be so vulnerable or possibly made so, due to my virtual blindness, ever again. For me, the prospect of good natural sight is like being offered a super-power!
