Should say that i went for consultation in central London last week and was quoted £4000 for the latest technology [wavefront] A follow up call from them yesterday resulted in being offered same treatment for £2000 if i can go in when they have dates available that are not yet booked up. These dates are plentyful so no problem but still thinking about it. Company was Ultralase.

I'm looking into it and hear that the Dunya Goz in Istanbul is very advanced. In order to give you clear answers they'd need to analyse the eye/s of course.

I had mine done at Ultralase, Hammersmith 10 years ago in August. Hubby paid for it for my 50th Birthday Best thing I ever did. Rather have this done, than go to the dentist.!!!!! From consulation to proceedure and after care A1***.

An old neighbour of ours had it done in Famagusta and was really pleased with the result.

I had mine done at "Dunya Guz" not the exact spelling, 6 yrs ago in Istanbul. Best thing I ever did.... They have many eye hospitals in Istanbul and it was like walking into the Star Ship Enterprise!!!! Could not believe how immaculate and advanced itwas!! Must be even better now I would think!

I had it done in Man about 13 years ago when I was about 30 years old

I was - 5.5 in one eye and - 4.5 in the other ( thats pretty bad - I couldnt see clearly beyond my nose ! )

Cost me £1500 for both at the times for what was then called the Lasik treatment - where they pull back the eye covering and laser the pupil

Never had the need to go for an eye test since

Msg 11, Still the same procedure [ lasik] but the latest technology [wavefront] scans every contour of the eye instead of just going over the eye, but quite expensive.

Recall now it was Optimax who did mine

Had a quick look on their site

You might want to ask them for a price

The London surgery is in Finchley rd

Leylandlad,



It cost me @£400 per eye.... I say @ because I actually think it was a bit cheaper......
