I had my procedure in Feb 2013 and the halos have never improved. The led headlights are awful and so are the large white signposts you get when coming into a village, they have a halo of about 150mm around them.

OE will have you believe it is your brain, I think they have been brainwashed to tell you that. At night I see four little stars under every real star in the sky, if I lean back and look at the star from under my lenses the star is perfect.

There is nothing wrong with my brain or yours but it is something we will probably have to live with for the rest of our lives.

I love to look at the sky at night but OE have ruined that for me. :evil:

Were you told that if you see halos around bright lights it is because your brain is not allowing you to see correctly/

I was told this by [strike]Prof [/strike] Dr Jan Arrogant Venter just before he slashed my eye open.

If the moon is out tonight and you can lean back far enough, you need to be almost looking down your cheek line, the bottom of the halo will disappear. It has nothing to do with your brain and everything to do with the fact that you are looking at the moon from below your IO lenses.

Give it a go, but it takes a lot of leaning so have someone support you!

Thanks for the link.

I had seen something about donating when I first found this site and will now do so.
PS: I was posting as 'anon' but changed my name!

It's all very well donating to Oxford hospital but I think your money would be better invested in Sasha's campaign.

I was helped immeasurably by Sasha who doesn't get paid for what she does. I know full well that she won't let the industry GET AWAY WITH RUINING SO MANY EYES AND LIVES!

We can't expect Sasha to do all this without our help and it is of vital importance that we support her campaign, as there's no one else in the world doing anything comparable to what she does.

PLEASE support her efforts even if it's only a tenner.

I had a long chat with the nurse who did the checks before I saw the doctor. She told me they see many patients who have had their sight damaged by OE and others. She said that the NHS are left to pick up the pieces.

I will attempt to get my money back from Hitachi finance and I can assure you that a large percentage will be donated to Oxford eye hospital.

Anon - that was by no means a criticism of you, I was simply pointing out that the NHS is being penalised financially thanks to the mistakes Optical Express have made.

If enough people like you go to the NHS with post op problems it should filter back to the government that they are in fact subsidising Optical Express!

Never mind that people are having their eyes destroyed, the government will only act when they realise it's costing them money.

You are probably right, but I have paid National Insurance all of my working life for 48 yrs and have had very little NHS treatment in that time. My other option is to let OE get near my eyes again which is not an option.

The government should force Optical Express to reimburse the NHS for the costs of this treatment.

I took myself off to Oxford eye hospital this morning hoping they wouldn't tell me to b*gger off.

On the contrary, when I explained that Optical Express had not contacted me for a week regarding the problem with my left eye they told me the medical term is Posterior Capsular Opacification. Perhaps OE don't know it as they didn't tell me that.

I want nothing to do with OE who need to be shut down ASAP. I will get an appointment at Oxford in the next 1-2 months to have the laser treatment I need there.

I have never experienced such bad customer service as I have at OE. Thank the Lord we all have Sasha to help guide us through our problems. When I was googling eye surgery back in early 2012 this site didn't exist unfortunately because if it did I would never have gone to Optical Express. They have a lot to answer for and I hope they are brought to book.
