Just over a week ago, I underwent Laser Eye Surgery with Optical Express . It was a decision I made after much consideration and lots of umming and ahhing.  In the lead up to my surgery, I obviously googled the hell out the procedure (this has its positives and its negatives), lots of people were keen to share stories they'd heard, urban myths regarding the surgery and everyone told me I was super brave for doing it. I was nervous and worried how the day would pan out , how I would react to having my eye "sliced open" and how I would feel afterward. I'm guessing a lot of people have the same concerns as I did , SO I thought I'd write a post  talking you through the entire day, explaining the ins and outs and all the "gory" details they might not tell you in the fancy pamphlets.  *Please note, this post is written from my perspective and details are relevant to my personal experience/ type of surgery I underwent and lifestyle. You will have to discuss ...

Some decisions take 5 seconds and some take a very long time to make. You go back and forth, you weigh up the pros and cons, you talk to those who you trust and love. This is exactly what I have done since deciding to have Laser Eye Surgery with Optical Express  - My story -  I've worn glasses since I was 13 and initially, I thought it sucked. I didn't want to have to wear glasses every day and it was just something else that wasn't "perfect" with my body/appearance. I was slightly less annoyed once I discovered contact lenses though and for about 7 years I was blissfully happy wearing lenses and wearing my glasses on the odd occasion.  Fast forward to 2009 when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the sad news, that along with all the other side effects; dry eyes was one of the ones that would affect me in a big way. Contact lenses started to irritate my eyes, I'd get headaches if I wore them and it didn't matter what brand I tried; none were comfortable...
