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!


:D

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 :o

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

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

Get someone to read it to you again after the procedure :wink:

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.

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?
