has any one experienced any ill effects from having eye surgery. ( the £395 per eye variety )...... as i have noticed that most eye specialists wear glasses.

No mine are fine now but i can only read brail newspapers.. .. . ... ... !

My auntie, who wore glasses like Dot from on the buses had corrective eye surgery.... I didn't believe her eyes could be corrected but yes! they were!.... she's had no problems whasoever and doesn't need her glasses at all now!... Amazing!

I'll have to get mine done or else it's going to be the labrador and the white stick.

good luck with it then Micky, I know the opthamogists can't help everybody, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that something can be done for you

I had my eyes lazered about 12 years ago. I was incredibly short sighted and had almost perfect vision afterwards. The one side effect I found was that I am now incredibly light sensitive and bright lights make my eyes hurt. The biggest problem I have is driving in the dark. Headlights blind me and I really struggle to see afterwards. I know a lot of people struggle like this but I was told its cause of scarring on my eye from the op and that its something that will never get better. However I don't regret getting my eyes done and I've heard that this doesnt seem to be a problem now the techniques they use are far more advanced.

I am waiting for a cataract opp and a find it hard driving in the dark as well with the lights to bright
