Got pff the phone and immediatelybooked in with Optical Express for next week so will have two consultations before deciding. Mate of mine was with OE about 6 months ago and had a great experience, well as great as it could be going under a laser to the eyes.

Also on the price, I see it depends on your prescription, I’m assuming its more expensive the stronger goggles you need? Or is there some other kind of science behind it does anyone know?

Prescription will have some bearing on the cost but gets pricier with things like astigmatism or other issues. Also, be very wary of it if your prescription changes or is unsettled. 

Think I said earlier in the thread, the best money I ever spent. Without a doubt

I'm going for consultation this Friday. Quoted already that it would cost 3800 based on my prescription (providing I'm a suitable candidate).

I had laser eye surgery on Saturday morning just gone.
Absolutely delighted with my resultant vision. 
I've been wearing glasses/contact lens for 24 years.

Finally got round to having a consultation yesterday.  Apparently my eyes are too dry at the moment to have the surgery so have to start a 3 week course of treatment to see if that helps. If not I cant have surgery.

Cost was told would be 3850 bunts.  

She told me a few things that are making me slightly hesitant to go ahead if given the green light.

She said I might be sensitive to light and my depth perception may feel different.  Also I dont want any long term pain or halos.

Had it done in 2013 at Mater Private. Was 1600 per eye, but with 20% tax back, membership of a medical scheme and Union optical scheme, my net was a fraction of the full cost.

The aftercare in Mater was outstanding. As for pain, when the protective lens was removed after a week it was f**king agony but next day was right as rain. I recommend it highly TJ. Have needed reading glasses the past 12 months but was advised of that likelihood before the surgery. In day to day life, my sight is still brilliant with no after effects whatsoever.
