Laser eye surgery was something I had been contemplating for a while. I was fed up with the hassle of wearing glasses and fiddling with contact lenses so, in June, I decided to get in touch with Jersey Vision Correction. The lovely Jen managed to get me booked in for my free initial consultation with Dave within a week of my initial enquiry. From the beginning, Dave made me feel at ease. He explained what all my options were and ...went into detail about the procedure that was most suitable for me. I decided to go from there so a pre-operative consultation was arranged with Dave and Mark and then I was scheduled for surgery at the beginning of July. The surgery was completely painless. My vision fluctuated within the first few days after surgery but by day four, my vision was nearly perfect. Now over a month after my surgery, I have perfect vision all the time. The aftercare has been fantastic. I have seen Dave twice since my surgery to check that my eyes are healing as they should and he’s always been very helpful. I am so grateful to the team at Jersey Vision Correction. If anyone is on the fence about getting laser eye surgery, I would have to say definitely go for it as you won’t regret it!

I met Dave for a free consultation where he explained the procedure and reassured me on any questions I had. In a matter of weeks I'd had the surgery and my vision started to improve. Now, a few months down the line, my vision is absolutely perfect. This procedure changed my life, I no longer have the hassle of contact lenses or glasses when at work or the gym. If you are on the fence, I would defiantly recommend you go through with the surgery, the care that Dave offers is top class and meant that I felt comfortable at every stage.

I can finally wear nice sunglasses and I can see car registration plates at a distance too! My life without glasses or contact lenses is now a walk in the park and I would recommend the surgery to anyone!
The surgery itself was super quick and painless. Post op my eyes were sore but I had done plenty of research and I knew what to expect. Drops are provided to treat your eyes and as I am a Guernsey resident the team supplied me with me plenty to ensure I wouldn’t run out. The drops were a life saver and so soothing. Around 3 days later my eyes were starting to settle and I was able to be more active. It’s still early days and I only had my surgery at the beginning of June so of course they’re still healing and adjusting.
The team… well what can I say? They are fantastic and very accommodating. Dave and Mark made me feel at ease from the minute I met them. Dave educated me more about my eyes in ten minutes than anyone else had in 24 years of having bad vision. It was refreshing to know I was in the hands of a knowledgeable professional.
Anyone considering having laser eye surgery should bite the bullet and go for it. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Best decision I've made in a long time, cannot fault Dave and Mark who very informative and helpful. On the day I was in and out of the surgery within an hour, there was no pain, just a little discomfort while they healed but that was all explained to me and expected. Do it if you have the chance.
Once again thank you Dave and Mark

Being able to see the fog without it being through foggy glasses... priceless!!
I often get out into the winds of whichever country I am visiting with one of my growing collection of cameras. The bad weather doesn't deter me, in fact the opposite!
I used to be quite shortsighted (-5.00) so could only see clearly up to 20cm in front of my face without needing to use glasses. Gone are the days of wearing steamed up/ rained on/ slipped down my nose glasses. Now it's just me, the elements and a camera!! To be spectacle free has given me SO much freedom! A renewed focus on my photographic hobby!!
I had my laser procedure in my lunch break, then back to work. It was quick and easy with only a couple of days of mild discomfort.
Dave, Mark and the team were brilliant, informative, calming, very professional- really wish I'd done it earlier.

I preferred to wear contact lenses but my eyes were irritable when wearing them for a number of hours. I had a consultation with Dave in Guernsey and he explained clearly that laser treatment was the type of surgery most appropriate for me. The surgery staff were helpful and the operation was quick and painless.
Following the operation there was sensitivity to light, slightly cloudy vision and mild discomfort, as had been explained to me. During the first night there was some mild pain in one eye but one drop of the anaesthetic drops soothed it. There was no pain thereafter and the light sensitivity subsided after a week or so. My vision became clearer over the days following the operation and I’m still surprised that my vision is so clear now. The post operation appointments gave me comfort that the recovery was on track.
I’m really happy with the results and wish I had done it sooner.

Approximately 6 months ago I had both eyes corrected with laser at Jersey Vision Correction. The team explained every part of the procedure every step of the way and were fabulous at ensuring that my appointments were convenient for my family and work commitments.

After putting off doing anything for years I finally plucked up the courage (eyesight -10 and -8.5 with astigmatism) and found after discussion with the JVC team that Implantable Contact Lenses would be most suitable. The week my treatment took place was well set up and now just 4 weeks on I find waking up in the mornings without blindly searching for glasses is special. All aspects of the treatment and care have been spot on and my sight is now better than 20:20. Doesn’t get much better so thank you very much JVC.

The left eye was done on one day then two days later the right eye was done. Both were done with no pain or discomfort at all. The Optometrist/Surgeon and nurses were all professional in their work and I am very happy with the results (and I love my new eyes).

I can't thank Dave and the team enough, I knew my eye site wasn't the best and was never one to wear glasses so a friend recommend I go for a consultation, which from day one Dave was terrific, explained everything fully and did all the necessary tests, I had the surgery two weeks later which was painless and over in no time at all, the results are great! I recommend anyone who is worried about their eye site to go for a consultation!

I cannot recommend the procedure enough. The consultations with Dave were very thorough and everything was fully explained. The procedure itself only took five minutes and was completely painless. I only experienced minor discomfort while recovering and this only lasted for a few days. I still can’t believe how incredible my vision is now and it still seems to be improving over a year and a half later.

Filled with confidence from my first consultation with Dave Baker I had no hesitation in going ahead with the LASEK procedure which was very quick and painless. After the recovery period my eyes continued to improve and I now have perfect vision. I am very happy I chose Jersey Vision Correction and would certainly recommend them for anyone thinking about laser eye surgery

From a young age I needed glasses and as a teenager I switched to contact lenses. However, I always dreamt of being able to enjoy my hobbies without the hassle of corrective lenses. I had often heard people talking about laser eye surgery, so I eventually bit the bullet and went for a free consultation. Everything from the cause of the short-sightedness I suffered, to the options available to me were fully and thoroughly explained. The procedure itself was painless and was over before I knew it. Within a week I had recovered and eight months later my eyes still seem to continue improving. My vision is now better than 20/20 and I cannot recommend the procedure enough.
I can't believe it took me so long to do this I wish I had done it years ago, the explanation of the procedure sounds way worse than the actual procedure is, it was all over in a matter of minutes and fully healed in weeks. I think the best part for me is in the evening where previously being a contact lens wearer after a day in the office my eyes would be sore and dry and that in turn would make me feel tired, where now in a funny kind of way I feel more awake and less tired just because my eyes aren't sore and I'm not straining to see :-) ....highly recommended!!!!
"I had laser eye surgery by the team at Jersey Vision Correction 3 years ago and I have been thrilled with the results. My vision is better than 20/20, I recovered fully within a week and I've saved hundreds pounds through not having to buy contact lenses and glasses. The treatment was quick, painless and everything was explained in a clear and friendly manner. I couldn't recommend them highly enough."

I am a 45 year old woman who had LASEK surgery to correct my long distance vision. I had it done earlier this year and my only regret is having not done it years ago. In the last couple of years I was beginning to rely on wearing my reading glasses for my distance vision, ultimately meaning I would need two separate pairs of glasses. Since having the surgery I no longer need glasses for distance. I sometimes use pound shop +1 glasses for my pc and for reading in dim light. Dave Baker told me that this would be the case and I am happy to say the results were exactly what he said they would be. I no longer have to squint and squeeze my eyes to focus all the time. I can see everything so clearly. I can see sharp individual shapes and patterns rather than clusters of objects. I can actually see what my makeup looks like without having to look from behind glasses! I feel more confident and people can now actually see my face rather than just me wearing glasses. People spend so much on looking good. I am glad I spent a little bit more on feeling good! I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone at Jersey Vision Correction for everything, before, during and after the surgery. From start to finish it was all just so simple. The surgery itself was totally pain free and the recovery was minimal with only slight grittiness and light sensitivity for a few days. Painkillers sorted that out. My 8 year old is desperate to have his eyes lasered and my promise to him is that as soon as he becomes of age it will be my priority to get his eyes lasered.
I don’t know why I waited so long before having the LASEK surgery. Life is better without the hassle of glasses. The procedure is not so bad, fully recovered within a couple of weeks and the team at Jersey Vision Correction were excellent both before, during and after the surgery.
I opted to have the lens implant surgery last October and must say that the difference is amazing. I was very long sighted (+9.00) with astigmatism (-4.00) which meant that contacts didn't quite work and laser treatment was out of the question. Being fairly sporty I wanted to rid myself of glasses. The results are quite amazing. Day to day my sight is great with only glasses needed for reading. The team looking after me were faultless and the procedure simple and painless with immediate results. After-care too was superb and I am now the proud owner of my first pair of non prescription sunglasses!
For years I had been dependant on ready readers and eventually found myself on +3. I eventually plucked up the courage to visit Jersey Vision Correction to find out my options. After a very comprehensive consultation I was pleased to discover I would be a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery. On the day of the procedure everything was checked again & the whole process was explained step by step so I knew what to expect at every stage. The follow up checks have been thorough and four months on there is no need for me to return.
I am absolutely delighted with the results, it’s even better than I expected. I would say to anyone thinking about having it done – go for it, it will change the way you look at the world

I had worn glasses since the age of 9 and had tried contact lenses but found them irritating and gave up. I had resigned myself to spending the rest of my years waking up to a blurry world. I had considered laser surgery 12 years ago but had been told I was not a suitable candidate for it at that time.
I was pleasantly surprised when I was advised by Dave Baker, Optometrist, that due to advances in the procedure, I could be treated. I pondered for a further year before finally committing to the surgery, as I was worried that it would be painful and I would not be able to drive for ages afterwards. I finally plucked up the courage to go for the surgery.
I arranged a further appointment with Dave who explained all about the surgery and what I should expect, so I felt quite reassured, and it was no where near as bad as I had expected. The treatment itself was nothing to worry about, as I did not feel a thing. I expected my eyes to be really sore afterwards, but I was given lots of eye drops to alleviate the discomfort, and can honestly say that they watered for about an hour in the evening when the anaesthetic drops wore off, but then settled down again. I have experienced worse pain from having grit on my contact lenses. I was not worried by the occasional twinge of discomfort as Dave had advised me this might happen.
It was such a novelty being driven away from the clinic and being able to see clearly and read number plates of cars, without glasses or lenses. I avoided driving for a week, until I had my follow-up appointment with Dave and was reassured that my vision met the legal standard for driving. I have had a further "check-up" and all remains well.
I also wish to thank Jen Castle, the first point of contact at the clinic, as she has always been friendly and patient with me when I have swopped and changed my appointments, and the surgeon and nurses were excellent as well.
My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
Having laser eye correction was the one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The results have transformed my every day life. The team at Jersey Vision Correction were professional, thorough and approachable during the entire process, from the initial consultation to the post operative check-ups. The actual operation itself was quick and painless with the positive results being noticeable almost immediately. I would recommend anyone considering laser eye surgery to get in touch and book a consultation with Jersey Vision Correction.
I had laser eye surgery late 2013, I was nervous but the team were very professional and knowledgeable and put my fears to rest. I was well cared for before and after treatment by the team at Jersey Vision Correction Clinic and they did an amazing job. It was no doubt the one of the best decisions of my life and I love the freedom of not having to wear glasses or contact lenses. I would highly recommend laser treatment with Jersey Vision Correction Clinic, they provide an excellent service.
I've always hated the fact that I needed glasses/lenses and it has been a life goal of mine to rid myself of the necessity. After one great trip to see what it was all about any fears I had were waylaid. Now a month after the surgery my vision is better than I ever remember even with glasses! My thanks go out to everyone involved for such a smooth, quick and brilliant service.
I had LASEK treatment late last year, and can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever done. The team were fantastic, very friendly and professional. Pre-op care was excellent, but they excelled themselves with my post-op care. A huge thank you to the team, and to anyone who is considering a procedure.. go for it! The best thing is wearing non-prescription sunglasses and not having to carry two pairs around with you!
Once again thanks so much for giving me the ability to see again – you have changed my world!
Definitely the best money I have ever spent and I am looking forward to perfect sight with no aids. In all a highly professional team of people and I would not hesitate in recommending them.
The funniest thing happened yesterday, I went to buy some new make-up at St Brelades, I told the girl that I'd had eye correction done and fancied a new look , she was so excited to know how I'd got on, she ended up giving me a make over. Her collegue also wanted to know all about it and while I was paying for the makeup she was on the phone to book an eye test for them both. I can honestly say this is the best thing I've done. It's so nice to be able to see without glasses.
Having laser surgery has changed my life! I am over the moon I had it done and want to thank the team (especially Jen and Dave) immensely for all their help and support throughout my treatment. They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I'd recommend to have laser surgery done at any stage of their life.
I was becoming really frustrated with wearing reading glasses, I was taking them off all of the time, even to see prices in shops. I had the presbyopic laser treatment and went out for dinner the same night. The treatment was painless and I can't believe how well I can now read without glasses.
My eyes are still great 2 years on from the op.
I hated glasses and then I couldn’t wear my contact lenses due to an eye infection. Now I can see clearly without either. I’m 100% happy.
It’s such a timesaver not having to search for my glasses anymore, and of course it’s wonderful to be able to see so clearly for the first time in my life.
Start life again? Vastly more convenient than contacts or glasses. Reassuring, knowledgeable and competent specialists soothe inevitable initial nervousness. Pain free with minimum discomfort, results exceeded expectations, wish I had been brave enough to have the treatment years ago. Thoroughly recommended
My vision is now perfect! After living most of my life not even being able to see across the other side of the room without my contacts in it's such an amazing feeling being able to see clearly as soon as I open my eyes each morning.
