Aside from the £2000 damage to the wallet
Have you looked into the side effects of the treatement? It might not correct your vision either.

I'm lucky that I have quite an honest optician who did try to give me the contact lenses sell, but then quickly realised that I'm one of those lasses who look better with glasses. On an entirely seperate note, glasses are quite sexy, if you have a nice pair of specs for your face.

I don't have the face for the specs.

Contacts then.
Unless you are -10 dioptre and are techincally registered blind in terms of short sightedness, in which case, go for the laser surgery --- they might get you down to sensible glasses level rather than the bases of two beer bottles :)

This, most definately.
I feel quite vindicated, as yours is the opinion of a qualified medical professional, and not just an NHS cleric (i.e. me).

I, too, am an NHS cleric.
I never did trust those bastards in the white coats.

I spent too long working with opticians,
to ever feel comfortable trusting them again.

My advice when it comes to eyes, is to go see an independant practitioner - all the large companies seem to be corrupt, only interested is extracting as much money as possible from you, for teatments that you probably don't need.
