Hi, on the optical express website it says that the surgery can cost FROM £395. My prescription is -4.5 (left eye) -4.0 (right eye). Do you know how much it would actually or roughly cost? (optical express or other) ( in £ )
Thanks.
I’m sure that someone had the surgery in the UK and could tell me?
Help..!
On 06/10/10 I underwent laser eye surgery which required me to take at least one week of work as i had the LASEK treatment and it can take that long for my vision to settle back in, I notified my employer of this beforehand which they were fine with. On 07/10/10 I obtained a doctors certificate which signed me off work from 06/10/10 to 15/10/10, now my store manager is saying I’m not entitled to sick pay as it was an operation I chose to have rather than needed. Can they say this even though I have provided them with a doctors certificate?
I’ve been with this company for 4 years and never had a day off sick so I’m not sure how this all works..
Any help is really appreciated!
Thanks 
I work in retail, so wouldn’t of been able to actually see the till screen and not aloud in dusty environments for 2 weeks so couldn’t have gone in the warehouse.
Hi
I’ve been wearing contact lenses for around 3 years and I’m quiet happy with them.I wear contact lenses for around 12 to 14 hours a day and I never wore glasses since I first bought a pair of contact lenses. ( My eyes are L : -4.75 R : -4.5 )
A few days ago someone recommended me an eye surgery called " LASEK " , I made a search on the internet and I found a considerable number of side effects for both Lasik and Lasek and accordingly I cancelled the surgery.
Is it really recommended for someone like me who is quiet happy with contact lenses ? Is it worth the risk ?
Does wearing contact lenses a lot make my eyes corneal layer tinner ?
Thanks a lot
I forgot to say this , I’d like to know about your experience if you have done this.
Do you know any famous persons (of any field) who did lasek surgery to stop using glasses?
hello there. i have glasses and my parents has been questioning if i should get lasek eye surgery. i was wondering if it was safe and or have any pain and what appropriate age you should get it done by? thanks.
PRK or Lasek in the Marine Corps.?
I am enlisting into the Marine Corps. no matter what. Currently I am waiting for a waiver because of a high eye refraction. I measure up to -12 and -9 in my eyes. I plan to go in as 0300 infantry or 1371 combat engineer. I understand for engineer I will have a program code of CM which doesn’t really guarantee 1371 exact so I have a big chance of getting something else. Therefore I am 90% sure to go as infantry.
I am hoping to get PRK or Lasek in the military but I am not sure if I will be a good candidate for any eye surgery. This is mainly due to the high eye refraction. I’m wondering if any Marines out there can help me with this problem especially those who have or had really bad eye sight as close to mine, -12. Since I will be going in as infantry, what is the waiting period to get the eye surgery? Will I be put in front as priority for the operation since I’ll be infantry?
If in the event I am not able to get the eye surgery from the Marine Corps, will I be allowed to get it outside in the civilian world. I already know a doctor who can perfrom LASEK on me and I already qualify as a good candidate. I’m not getting my eye surgery from him only because I will have to wait another 6 months just so I can go into recruit training. Also I may be disqualified if anything were to go wrong.
