How does blended Laser Eye Surgery work? If you’re anything like me, you won’t dive into a new therapy, course of medication, or treatment until you know everything there is to know about it. It’s an admirable trait — albeit one that can become annoying when encountering conflicting information and reviews online, to later realise you’ve spent six hours non-stop staring at a screen. Fortunately, your research session today won’t end with you as a whirring, hazy lump, lying eyes wide…

What does freedom from glasses really mean?
What does freedom from glasses really mean? Humans are terrible when it comes to making positive changes in their lives. But contrary to what most people think, there’s a lot more to it than simply pizza and Netflix being easier than embracing the cold and hitting the gym; it comes down to an inbuilt physiological response in the making for thousands of years. If we look back to see how our ancestors lived, it’s much easier to understand. Throughout human history, most…

Dom Joly: I’ve seen the light
Dom Joly talks about his Laser Eye Surgery experience. Reproduced from: Cotswold Life I had 20/20 vision until about five years ago. In fact, I think I had better than 20/20 vision.

Whatever, I could see stuff really well and would secretly chuckle at the genetically unfortunate amongst us who needed glasses, bi-focals, contact lenses, etc. Then… it happened. Age, that is. About five years ago I started finding it harder and harder to read…
Afraid of Laser Eye Surgery
Afraid of Laser Eye Surgery The first feeling I had when I heard the term Laser Eye Surgery was fear. Before obtaining all the facts, the words ‘laser’ and ‘eyes’ in the same sentence were enough to invoke some vivid and unpleasant imagery.
