Not sure about Wavefront but I was in and out of the operating room ina about 10 - 12minutes having had both eyes done ...

That includes the local anaesthetic (eye drops), clamping, cutting, lasering and re-fitting of the "flap".

And Dickie, thanks for eminding me of the smell ..... uuurgh

Not for me ! until they come up with a non invasive method i'll stick to glasses and contacts.

currently using Daily diposables complete field of vision and they don't cause probs when on my bike that'll do me fine for now thanks

Must admit I've thought about it, and I don't fancy people prodding around in my eyes, and the long term effects of having it done.

Both my eyes are useless without correction, and I've done the same and lost contacts while out riding, once on a track day, and once in the middle of Wales in the middle of nowhere at night, and no street lights (Dibble will remember me telling him this story!).

Just call me cod-eye :lol:

Burning bacon???

smells like singed hair

you wish .. :(

Go for it, you wont regret it ;)

Thought I'd follow this up after having it done this weekend.

Dibble's experiences pretty much match mine, had the surgery done on saturday afternoon at 4pm, took about 30mins, and was on my way home by 5pm home by 6pm and slept for 2 hours (Ali G goggles, are not becoming..).

Up around 8pm and could see reasonably clearly, although eyes were tired the pain had gone and they just felt a little dry (I was given a months worth of artificial tears for this though).

Next morning, 8 am WOW!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Reading reg plates at the end of the road unaided, and a very happy chap.
A bit sensitive to light still, but it is a very sunny day at the moment.

Follow up consultation was 2pm yesterday (24 hours after op's planned time) and I was better than 20:20 in both eyes, and that's set to improve over the next week :)

I strongly recommend this to anyone, wish I'd done it years ago.

Wife's getting a bit annoyed at the, I can read this, I can read that stuff, but I think she'll be getting hers done quite soon...

I've got some free consultation referral vouchers if anyone's really interested in getting it done U2U me your name and address ( no need to post in the thread) and I'll add you to my form.
