I’m considering going for it, currently wear contact lenses daily.

Anyone had it done?

A couple of folk I know had it done,back to wearing Specs after 10 yrs.

The Technology might’ve moved on since then mind….

Too scared.
Far too many opticians wear glasses for it to be a good idea.

Laser surgery doesn't last long and may need tweaked in the future. I had lens replacement done, a bit pricey but hopefully it will last my lifetime.

I considered it a few years ago but one of my colleagues had it done and the improvement in one of his eyes was negligible, nocturnal lenses were recommended so I gave them a try and have found them fantastic, lenses go in before you go to your kip and out when you get up , none of the daily challenges you get with wearing lenses during the day.

I haven’t heard of those before, will look into that! Cheers

Ortho-K lenses are what they are generally called, I got them from Browns opticians Piershill.

All good. Play a lot of golf and was struggling to gauge distances and also had difficulty even seeing the pin from about 100 yards. Now everything is crystal clear and even the tiniest of print when reading is fab. I got the multifocal lens. Each eye took about 10 mins and absolutely painless. Ps my golf is still shit.
