I have been short sighted since the age of 11 and had to wear glasses or contact lenses all my adult life. I have considered having laser eye surgery for years but was always a bit scared that something might go wrong! However, my sister in law recently had laser eye surgery and she was so impressed with the results that I decided to go for it. I chose Visualase in Bolton because it is close to my home. When I went there for an initial consultation, I was impressed by how friendly everyone was and how the surgeon, Mr Hines, took care to explain the procedure fully - he even showed me the "operating theatre". On the actual day, I was a bit nervous but the whole thing only took about 20 minutes and was less traumatic than going to the dentist! I had a bit of discomfort afterwards but that soon went. My sight was a bit blurred for the first 48 hours, but after that I could see better than with my contact lenses. Everyone is really impressed by how well I can see now and I would recommend the procedure to anybody. Visualase in Bolton is brilliant!

The whole staff are really friendly and welcoming. especially the receptionist. The treatment was completely pain free, I had no discomfort at all either during or after the treatment. I left Visualase at 1pm, slept for a couple of hours and by 4.30 I was watching TV and reading the paper. I am more than happy with my new vision! It took me four years to get up the courage to have this treatment and I wish I had done it sooner. I would highly recommend Visalase and Dr Doyle to anyone.

I am a 66yr old woman who has reluctantly worn glasses for the past 20+ years. I thought laser eye surgery could be the answer for me. I contacted Visualase (recommended by a friend) and was instantly put at ease by the professional, friendly,approach of the reception staff. After consultation it was agreed Bilateral LASIK would be best for me. This means I have one eye for reading and the other for distance. Having previously had contact lenses which worked in this way, I felt reasonably confident I would be able to make the adjustment. It is now 2 weeks since my surgery and I cannot say strongly enough how thrilled I am in the result, I no longer need to wear glasses for reading or distance and would say to anyone thinking of laser eye surgery, pick up the phone and speak to the wonderful staff at Visualase.

I had surgery in February this year. I am absolutely delighted with my new eyes and can't believe how wonderful it is not to worry about wearing glasses, my vision is perfect, no more glasses; it really is amazing. The clinic and staff were fantastic, very professional, really helpful and extremely friendly. Visualase are first class, thank you all.

Absolutely brilliant! If I had known it was going to be this good and this easy, I would have had it done years ago. It only took 8 seconds of laser treatment on each eye to give me better than 20:20 vision. I travelled to Bolton from North Wales because I had been recommended to have treatment under Dr. Doyle. He was extremely professional and reassuring. The procedure was totally painless and by the next morning, I could drive home with perfect vision. Two weeks on and I am still extremely pleased and can't wait to look out of the window every morning to enjoy my new eyes. Extremely good value for money and I paid on interest free credit.

A fantastic experience from start to finish. The clinic is run really professionally and all of my questions were answered. On the day itself, I was very nervous but everybody was amazing and the procedure ran very smoothly. The difference it has made to my life is unbelievable and the money spent is worth every penny. The after care appointments are booked and the check ups very thorough. I would recommend Visualase to everybody. No daft gimmicks and money well spent. Thank you to everybody involved.

I would certainly recommend both lasik laser eye surgery and the Visualase Clinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery. After following the pre and post operative instructions to the letter,I have had no problems whatsoever and after attending a 5 month checkup have been told thatI now have 20/20 vision.

I visited a couple of clinic, Visualase being one that I was recomended by a relative. The admin staff were excellent, made me feel very relaxed, the consultation with the surgeon was great, he explained everything in simplistic terms but in great detail even showing me the theatre and how each bit of the process worked. The treatment itself was very quick and painless. ALL aftercare has been fantastic. This is the best thing I have done. Visualase made me feel like a person, not a number on a lsit like other clinics

I recommend Visualase in Bolton without hesitation. All the staff helped make me feel comfortable from the first visit. I chose Epilasik at first but Mr Heaven advised me to go for Lasik as it suited my prescription better and also my expectations of the surgery. With a small child I needed a procedure with the shortest recovery time. I was really amazed that by day 2 I was seeing well with no discomfort, bright light did not bother me and I had no pain. I can honestly say that I have had more discomfort and trouble after visits to the dentist. I was given extra eye drops to take with me on holiday. If you have worn contact lenses for years and are used to 'handling' your eyes then you should find the surgery easy. It really isn't as bad as you might imagine. Weeks afterwards I still find myself thinking that I've got my lenses in. Thanks again to everyone at Visualase. Keep up the good work. x
