He wasn't in any trouble till you pointed it out :eek: haha

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

Well to be fair it doesn't matter. They are doing background research.

Think it through.

*Hi - I am here for some of that lovely laser eye surgery
-Great ! £2000 please
*Here you go
-#Lasers Eyes Randomly#
*Oh no! My eyesight has gone worse/not changed/not fully improved

Before anything happens there will be consultations with a qualified optician to discover if it is appropriate to that particular person - all they are doing is asking if anyone has had any experience in the surgery and they have found several people that have. There is simply no-way the surgery could take place without consultation with a professional beforehand - how would they know what they were doing ?

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

when you go to the opticians to ask about things you dont speak to the person doing the procedure do you? you speak to their fully trained assistants, which is what corker is.....

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

Still not clear.....I recently had eye surgery.
The Qualified Optician refered me for surgery to a Qualified Opthomologist (Eye Doctor) who decided after all the tests he carried out that I was fit for Surgery by a Qualified Eye Surgeon....supported thoughout the procedure by Qualified Specialist Eye Nurses.
Where does Corker fit into that lot?

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

My son had eye surgery on march...... all those qualified people he saw were wrong and they made it worse...... wasnt your eye surgery something you needed instead of something you wanted??? the laser surgery is not something they need, its something you opt for instead of wearing glasses...... corker would be the first person you go to when deciding if you want the surgery, he would tell you about the surgery, the cost,the risks and the statistics and the basics of the op then pass you onto the person who would do the op if you still want it..... personally i wouldnt let anyone near my or my sons eyes again!

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

I think my thread has kinda lost it way a bit...
its not about questioning anyones qualifications or having reason to, it was about whether or not anyone has had eye laser surgery, where abouts and the costs...that was all, nothing more and nothing less.

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

Again why does it matter !? Whoever is getting the surgery will go through all the steps you mentioned as well as this one, of background research.

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

I'm sorry Em but I was asking these questions in order to find out who the best people are to do the job on GG.
Is Corky a salesman or a qualified opthalmic professional?
I am sorry about your son's eyes but please dont be put off.
Go to an experienced Opthalmic Optician have your sons eyes further examined and ask the advice of the Optician as to the best Specialist Childrens Eye Surgeon and which hospital for treatment.
You have now a choice.

SamF....you might have won a do....All procedures are based on research and background..........I was under the impression you knew that?

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

I fail to understand why serious subjects on Accyweb are despatched to the back burner.....I also fail to understand, knowing that the contributors to the thread, having read the comments do not respond.
If the comments are wrong, respond. :confused:

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

he surgery was done at blackburn by the opthalmic surgeon..... it took a year for them to decide he needed the surgery (althought he has been seeing them since he was 18 months old, he was 6 when he had the op) they told me it would fix the problem and he wouldt need his glasses anymore.... they made it worse, left him with double vision for months and damaged his eye sight. They have said they need to do the other eye as well and try and fix the problem that they caused but i ahve said no... im not putting him through all that again.

Re: laser eye surgery.. who has it done & where ?
 

Em if you told me that the surgery was was performed by a surgeon whos name beginning with an N...I would not be surprised.
Take your child to the Manchester eye hospital.

PM me if you want further info.....I may not be the plonker that you think I am.
