It depends what you mean by "lasered". Laser treatment is used for a variety of conditions.

I believe the right way to go is to determine what the problem is before jumping into consideration of treatment.

If you have a serious eye condition, get your GP to refer you to a specialist eye clinic. There is almost certain to be one at your local hospital. They will set out for you the range of available options for the treatment of your condition.

If your problem is "normal" sight correction, I would start with a qualified optometrist. Again, your GP should be able to give you a list.

I had laser treatment to burn away an opaque film that formed behind the lens of my left eye after a plastics implant to cure cataracts, but I somehow doubt whether that is what you want?

I would assume Trudi meant laser sight correction; ie a cure or partial cure for short/long sight, astigmatism etc.

A mate went to Optical Express and is pleased with what they did. Think I might get it done this year, too.

I too went to Optical Express around two years ago.

First year my eyes were really great, however they have not been so sharp over the last few month's.

Your first port of call is to check the optician to see if you can have the trentment done first as not everyone can have it done.

I am still happy i had it done. Can someone point me to the bathroom lol

A few of my friends have had this done and swear by it - I'd be tempted but think I'd throw up when my eyeball starts smelling like roast chicken as they laser it!

There was something in the Sun years ago (says it all really but I love it) that was saying they're still not sure about the long term effects in terms of if the flap they cut is permanently healed or whether one day it will just flap open again!

Guess they've been doing these ops quite a while now and not heard of any horror stories yet - far from it in fact - so guess that could just be tabloid nonsense to drum up interest?
