Optical Express

Excellent service from Optical Express. I was nervous before the procedure but I honestly should not have worried. It was very professional from the start. The initial examination held by your local branch of Optical Express is carried out again to ensure that nothing has changed since the consultation. Once the surgeon is completely happy you return to the waiting room to be called.
My procedure was over in less that 20 minutes and although a bit hazy I could see without glassed for the first time in my life. It was strange to reach for my glasses and not need them 🙂

The recovery time was around a week to let my eyes completely settle but i can honestly say that it was worth it. My vision is now better than 20/20 and I can do all of the things that I found a hinderance with no problems. Even wear sun glasses if the sun ever comes out 🙂

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further information. I can even give you a money off voucher 🙂

Superb service from start to finish. Now 20 months on and my eyes are fabulous. I will answer any concerns or questions that you may have and can also offer a money off voucher for your treatment.

This treatment has really changed my life, honestly pain free and very speedy recovery time. I would not hesitate to recomend Optical Express to anyone. Go for it!

I went into this Laser eye surgery initially with enthusiasm and then with fear and trepidation and regret. I perhaps would have pulled out of the procedure if I hadnt already paid the £3000+ fee. I had opted for the Lasik Intralase (most expensive, quickest and safest method). I was anxious about some bad reviews I had read and the drastic irreversible description of the procedure in the no-nonsense literature the OE give you to read and make you sign. The procedure itself was not that painful though you should read up about it to prepare yourself. The staff were friendly and professional though I detected a hint of impatience at my hesitation and squeamishness. Immediately afterward I was made to wait in a darkened room to recover. The anaesthetic drops soon wore off and the pain and discomfort started. It was very sore but not unbearable. It lasted about 8hrs so dont plan anything in that time. You have to sleep with googles on and put drops in your eyes regularly. My sight is not quite up to 20-20 but it is pretty close and getting better and I only had it done 3 weeks ago. I would recommend this procedure.

I have been wearing glasses for 20years now. Couple of months back decided to get my eyes tested for lasik surgery. I underwent the surgery at Optical Express. The entire process took less than 30minutes. It has been 2 months sicne the surgery and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the results. The service is good. I have also been offered vouchers for recommendations. If anybody is interested to become my recommendation, we can split the voucher amount.

Day one post-op and oh my word it works! I have 20:20 vision and better. Optical Express in Shaftesbury Avenue, London can’t be faulted from begining to end. I am leaving this review to reassure you if you are thinking of doing it. Don’t get caught into reading too much about this simple procedure. I was getting confused whether to do it at Optimax and save some money and pay more at Ultralase for lifetime guarantee treatment. I am happy with my decision to go with Opitcal Express cause they have the best technology. Once you are satisfied with the laser equipment used and the surgeon just go ahead. After the op your head feels like you are recovering from a bad cold and this soon left with two paracetemols. I suggest you take 2 paracetemols before you leave the clinic so that by the time you get home you don’t feel anything. I had to wait 30mins for the mild discomfort to leave then I slept it off and woke up feeling great. I had my first aftercare visit and all is well.

Two weeks on and my vision is amazing. Many thanks to Mr Osama Giledi who has given me my site back! I’ve just received vouchers so if anyone would like £150 off their treatment just send me an e-mail (julie.perfitt@pfizer.com) with your address and I’ll send one on to you. Note: you need to take the vouchers with you to the initial consultation to get the discount. Good luck, I really can recommend the treatment and all the staff at Optical Express, Bluewater.

Excellent service and a perfect result. No pain although i was very nervous beforehand.The staff made me feel at ease. Cannot rate highly enough. I even got a discount which helped no end as the treatment is quite expensive! I did alot of research before deciding on optical express and feel sure i made the right decision. All the best Nigel

I had my surgery on the 14th Aug at Optical Express, Bluewater. I found the staff really friendly when I arrived and they really do put you at ease. The worst part is having to wait for your turn but you do get to speak to the Consultant before the procedure to answer any questions or concerns you have. I found the actual procedure totally painless and it only takes a few minutes each eye. My special thanks to Mr Osama Giledi the Consultant who really made me feel at ease, he talked me through the whole procedure and the nurse is also by your side for the whole time. After one week I can't believe how good my vision is, I would recommend this to anyone, I wish I'd done it sooner! Thanks Optical Express!!

Further to my previous postings I wanted to offer my latest feedback. It is now 17 months on from my procedure and my eyes are absolutely superb. I have now seen three of my family have the same procedure and they are so happy that they took the decision. No regrets, no pain, just fantastic sight.

I was worried that my sight may have started to deminish with time. I can put those fears to one side as it is stable and very clear. Its improved my golf no end too!

If anyone would like further information or a money off voucher I will send one up free of charge. Please contact me by clicking my name on the top of the posting or at intamedia@blueyonder.co.uk.

Bristol Clinic was totally excellent too. Great service all round. Everyone has their own experience but I cannot rate Optical Express highly enough.

Go for it
