To be perfectly frank, I've considered Lasik surgery as an unnecessary luxury. Turned out I underestimated by far how much of an impact perfect vision brings. From small things like shaving, through everyday life freedom, up to watching the horizon line from an aeroplane's window - it feels like I'm experiencing life anew. Not only does it not feel like an overindulgence no more, it feels like I ended up with a once-in-a-lifetime barging. It would be worth it on it's own, getting it done at RCP only made it so much better.
If someone tells you getting eye surgery is not scary, they are probably laying. Course it is. The thing with fear is, though, that it can be managed and mitigated, and staff at RCP manages that brilliantly. All the way from the primary examination, throughout the surgery itself, everyone made sure I was well informed and conscious, to a point where I started asking myself why my previous opticians didn't mention this or that. By the time the surgery came, I felt like making sure I'm comfortable is the hard part of the process, procedure itself being almost an afterthought - and it was a breeze. I lack words to express my gratitude to the staff for their professionalism, care and warmth - all the way from reception desk, nurses, to the doctors and surgeon. If anything, how smooth the surgery and healing process goes is a bit disappointing, since I have no reason to visit RCP again.
If you are someone like me - on the edge, wondering if going for LASIK is a smart choice, since you can live perfectly fine with glasses? It's worth it. It's doubly worth it at RCP.
