Hi there, my name is Sara Cuthbertson, and I work in Optical Express in Silverburn Shopping
Centre, and I’m an optical assistant. I’ve been working here since August, 2009, and
I just had my laser surgery treatment on the 16th of February 2010. Before the surgery
I was very dependent on my glasses, I had to wear them all the time. My prescription
was about a -5.50 in each eye which is quite a high prescription. It meant that I was always
having to wear glasses or contact lenses so laser surgery was an option for me.
Didn’t really know much about the surgery before I started working here – I’d always
just assumed that glasses and contact lenses were destined for me for life, until a friend
of mine, who actually works here as well, on the surgery team, recommended getting the
surgery done. He talked me through the consultation, got
me booked in, and I saw the optometrist, and they told me all the things I needed to know
about the surgery, told me I would see the biggest improvement with my vision because
– being so dependent on my glasses I would basically not need them every again which
was great! Now that I’ve had the surgery done it’s
been absolutely amazing. I have a whole new lease on life. I can do so many more things,
I don’t have to worry about contacts or glasses anymore, so it’s been absolutely
fantastic.
