The Way You See The World It would have been churlish to refuse and there was another reason why I agreed once again to confront my fear of public speaking: I am constantly surprised by the amount of misinformation that still surrounds the whole subject of Laser Eye Surgery. So that’s why I found myself on stage at the prestigious Kempinski Hotel in Estepona explaining to some 150 smart and well-dressed women the ins and outs of my Laser Eye…

Through The Eye Of A Needle
Through The Eye Of A Needle Body language experts tell us that to cross our arms in front of our chests is a very defensive gesture as in: “Don’t come close to me – I am not allowing anyone into my space”. But, humour this blogger for a moment and do it. Now look down at your arms and note which one is on top and which hand is slightly exposed and which is snugly tucked away from view? When…
Eye Test – Must Try Harder
Eye Test – Must Try Harder The words “test” and “exam” still make me shudder. At their very utterance, I am transported back to fusty classrooms and the sound of chalk scraping on the blackboard while the clock above it relentlessly ticks away the minutes until the words “Time’s up! Pens down now!” are called out and I just know that the tricky questions – the ones I decided to leave until last – will remain unanswered resulting in a…
On The Shoulders Of Giants
On The Shoulders Of Giants Dr Dan explains that some people – but not everyone – will require an adjustment after five or ten years. So, what does an “adjustment” entail? Is it easier than the original procedure from the patient’s and the surgeon’s perspective? “It is just as easy and is, actually, half of the original procedure. “If the correction is by LASEK then we have previously created this micro-thin flap shaving of the cornea and carried out the…
Shrinking Arms Or Presbyopia?
Shrinking Arms Or Presbyopia? If you are over forty and finding that your arms are shrinking, you might be tempted to competitively compare your deteriorating eyesight with that of your peers. Are they also finding it a bit of a struggle to read the newspapers (irrespective of the gloomy recession doomed content), extending their arms further and further away and searching out the best lit area of the room? After a quick survey of friends, colleagues and relatives you might…
Chocolate Or Valium
Chocolate Or Valium? Chocolate is something I normally try to avoid. Any rare craving for the stuff is quelled by nibbling a square of bitter dark 60 or 70%. That would happily satisfy the urge until the next time…. Unless it happens to be surgery day at the London Vision Clinic … then it’s like open day at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory… and it’s all on “prescription”. Dr Dan and the LVC team find the combination of comforting chocolate (full…
The Truth Is Out There
The Truth Is Out There! One of the main things that has struck me since being associated with the London Vision Clinic and writing this blog is the amount of misinformation that still exists about Laser Eye Surgery. Among the major fallacies would have to be that the need for reading glasses (aging eyes or presbyopia) cannot be corrected successfully by the laser. Alongside this is a disproportionate fear which prevents so many people from considering Laser Eye Surgery and…
