Laser Eye Surgery Patient - Paul Wiltshire
Learn more about the experiences of
others who have had Laser Eye Surgery.
“Hiya, my name’s Paul Wiltshire. I’m a
journalist and keen amateur cyclist. I’ve competed in time trials
and at the track at Herne Hill Velodrome in London. I’m short-sighted with astigmatism.
Why have I opted to have Laser
Eye Surgery? Basically, when you’re cycling, especially contact
lenses, they dry out really quickly, especially in the wind.
Glasses are constantly slipping down, and basically it takes away
from the enjoyment of the activity that I love. I also do other
physical sports, such as swimming and running, and these will all
be improved by not having to wear glasses or contact lenses.
I’ve got my surgery tomorrow, at Optimax in
Croydon; bit nervous, but they’ve assured me it
will all be OK. Looking forward to it and I’ve got, my surgery is
with Dr
Hoe. He’s done many many surgeries and he’s been with the
company since 2002, so everything should be OK. I will check back
tomorrow and let you know how it all went.
Hi, this is day after surgery. As you can see,
I can see! –which is wonderful. Surgery went really well. Dr Hoe
was really really good. Surgery itself is completely pain-free.
It’s a little bit of a strange experience, but it is pain-free, and
is over very very quickly.
After surgery, I had to wear dark glasses
for my journey home, and I just went home and slept basically.
But waking up this morning, opening my eyes and being able to see
across the room, it's just, just amazing. It’s like seeing the
world in high definition; love it. So, highly recommend
it.”
