I underwent LASIK at the LVC in April 2015, having thought about for a long time, and having procrastinated for an equally long time. I'm sure almost everyone says this, but I wish I had done it years ago!

From beginning to end, couldn't have done more to improve the experience. Starting with the reception and administrative staff, they were helpful and proactive in working around my schedule to arrange initial consultations and examinations. I spent a full day at LVC having my eyes examined every which way, by the very good team of technicians and opticians.

When the day of my surgery actually arrived - less than a month after my initial contact and only a few weeks after my exams - everyone at LVC was considerate and caring, and ensured that I was well looked after. I felt no nervousness going in to the operation at all, even though I was about to experience major surgery. And the surgery itself was a piece of cake. My surgeon (Professor Reinstein) had met me the day before the operation to talk me through everything, so on the day itself I knew exactly what to expect. I was on the table for no more than 10 minutes, and experienced some minor discomfort but no pain at all.

For the next hours I kept my eyes shut, but by the evening of my surgery I was able to watch TV, and within 48 hours I was back to normal. LVC checked up on me after the surgery at intervals of 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year. At each occasion I received a consistently first class service.

I couldn't be more delighted with the result. I had previously been very short-sighted since the age of 8, and underwent surgery at 30. I know have better than 20/20 vision in both eyes (in fact, considerably better than 20/20) with no side effects, or pain, or discomfort. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. No it's not cheap, but in my view it was worth every penny.

I would unreservedly recommend Prof Reinstein and LVC to anyone currently on the fence about LASIK.
