Do they still make you sign a legal document that if your eye's were to fall out in 10 years time due to the procedure, they can't be held responsible? Maybe a little over the top description of an adverse reaction from the op by myself, but you get my drift.

A friend had his done what must be nearly a decade ago, and I'm sure he told me had to sign something along the above lines. Then again at that time I suppose it was quite a new and to a certain extent, untested procedure. I'm glad to say his eye's haven't fallen out, well not yet anyway.

Best of luck with the op. NO one likes going under the knife, or in your case, frickin laser beam!

When booking the consultation, they said that they (Ultralase) provide a lifetime guarantee - so should any problems occur down the line, they will correct them free of charge.

I'll be sure to read the small print on the contract.

Quite what they could do if my eyes fell out I don't know

Put a contract out on you. It'd be cheaper than settling a claim

If your eyes fall out, you die.

Get someone to read it to you again after the procedure

It would be pointless for me, since my eyes are over -10 or whatever the measurement is.

However, a colleague had it done last year – he had a pretty unpleasant time of it. Certainly wasn't trouble-free.

My sister in law has recently had it done and she is over the moon with the results.

My mate had it done and he is one windy bugger,says its the best thing he has ever done.

Ophthalmic sister where I work said she wouldn't go near it. She's still wary of the long term results.

Is it really that bad having to wear glasses?

I think it is, yes. Especially when it rains.
