Optimax Laser Eye Surgery - Manchester

Excellent results. The team at Optimax Manchester were welcoming and reassuring, keeping me informed pre, during, and post-procedure. LASIK in both eyes in Nov22, and I have stabilised outstanding vision. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Seamless from consultation to discharge. Highly recommend for knowledgeable and organised eyesight correction surgery.

I had to wear either glasses or contacts since I was a kid. I had Lasek surgery. The operation went great: it was quick and painless and the recovery was very easy. The staff was very nice and followed me throughout the recovery.

I wore glasses from being 7 up until 24, over those 17 years I never once liked wearing them, hated them, the psychological impact affected my confidence massively. Back in 2002 I did extensive research after my then visit to the opticians, I was informed my eyes had in fact not changed since the previous visit. This prompted me to look into laser surgery - a close friend of mine had had it done the year before so I had more motivation to do it. Optimax were one of a few in the north west that did laser surgey. March 2003 I initially signed up for LASIK but upon the first consultation my eyes were deemed too small and I couldnt keep them still. Luckily LASEK, the cheaper, more crude option was offered to me (instant 500 saving). On the day of the surgery I was nervous, two valiums and I was still tense. The whole process was over within the space of 15 mins. The recovery, as they told me, would take about 7 days. By day 5 I could see almost clearly without glasses! A full week later it was an amazing feeling no more fogging up, no more blurred vision in the mornings, reaching over to put my glasses on, no more rain drops, swimming in a pool and beung able to see everything! My eyes were a -6 and -7 before and after the procedure a 0 and -0.25. Cant grumble with that! Felt like a new person, never looked back since - except when people ask what was it like. Optimax were professional, not pushy, also very knowledgeable and the aftercare (over the course of 12 months) was good (piece of mind). All in all, my life changed all for a measly 995. Not sure what it costs nowadays but I do know the technology must be superior to what it was 20 years ago. Id recommend it to anyone but caution has to be given your eyes are things that cannot be fixed easily or replaced and every person has their own unique circumstances, research the horror stories, prep your mind for the what ifs, be sure you know everything. As for Optimax, its the only place I went to so cant speak for the alternatives but I can say this its still where it was 20 years ago and still carrying out procedures so they must be doing something right!

I had my LASIK done over a week ago and I couldnt be happier. I was cleared to drive at my first post-op appointment (the next day) and have had no issues with my eyes healing. The service at Optimax is great, Dr Jan (surgeon) was super friendly and answered all questions I had. From the consultation to the surgery and now post-op, the team at Optimax have been super helpful whenever Ive had any questions. The first few hours post surgery feels like someone has cut about 100 onions but after a few hours, it all magically goes away. A few minor side effects, mainly just dry eyes and a little more sensitive to light but my eyes are still healing and they arent preventing me from doing anything (able to drive day/night fine). If anyone is considering getting LASIK, I would 100% recommend. I forgot I even used to wear glasses. Best decision ever!
