Cheers for the responses. It was optical express that she was interested in and probably the wavefront lasek as she is a PE teacher and we've
been told that lasek has less chance of being damaged if you hit or punched (ie. a ball in the face) where as lasik can result i nthe flap and scar
opening up again....Will have a look at moorefield as it sounds like lots of people have ended up there which wouldn't have needed to if
they'd gone there in the first place! Cheers Oli.

It may have only become popular on the high street in the last 10 years but it has been around in its modern forn for 40 years or more.
It was origianlly pioneered in Russia, where they practiced 'Radial Keratotomy' (making radiak cuts to reshape the eye muscle) and then
they didn't use Lasers they used fine knives.
Nice avatar BTW brings back a lot of memories!

Moorfields is not the same as Vision Express, not the least because Morrefields charge £1700 per eye as apposed to Vision Express's £400.
Then again you pays your money ..... etc

Not quite in the same league, but I once made a couple of visits to the opticians' school at Moorfields, in the role of
'guinea-pig'. Had my eyes tested by a 3rd-year student, then again by the lecturer. Next visit, a moorfields technician made sure that
my chosen frames fitted and that the prescription was correct.
The glasses were at cost only (i.e. no profit) and were the best prescription I have ever had in nearly 40 years of glasses wearing.
They really do know what they're doing there!
