    Hi all,

    First time posting on this board. My eyes are -7.5 roughly, I'm 30 and at the point where I'm seriously considering the laser surgery.

    I'd like to know which places would come recommended. Money wouldn't be an issue - I'd be prepared to pay extra for piece of mind.

    I went with Dundrum Eye Clinic. Found them very professional and upfront. To cut a long story short I found that they'd say no if they felt you weren't suitable for treatment. Didn't get that feeling from Wellington or Optilase. Wellington were particularly pushy which put me right off.

    Wouldn't agree with you at all there coolbeans, I found Wellington not at all pushy and they tell you upfront that if they don't think you're suitable they won't consider it, they won't even check you out if your prescription hasn't been constant for a while.

    My brother got his eyes corrected by laser surger at the Wellington Clinic. I went up with him and found them to be very kind and considerate. They will tell you if you are suitable for the procedure. He got it done and seems happy with it. I don't think I could go down that route though. I have been wearing glasses for glare for a few years now as I do at lot of computer work and will be getting my eyes tested soon for glasses as I was advised to do when I lived abroad. Really like the look and feel of glasses and will soon be getting them. Hope the procedure works out great for you.

    The prices have really dropped in the last two years for eye laser/lasik treatments so it is a very popular procedure.
