I had worn glasses for 25+ years, my initial consultation took place on the 27th Oct 09 (which was very thorough) by 4th Dec 09 both eyes were treated. I knew that laser surgery was not an option as I was very short sighted, I had implantable contact lenses done and am thrilled with the results. My vision is now clearer that it was with contact lenses/glasses. I would highly recommend this treatment to family and friends
