Please don't risk ruining your healthy eyes if you are considering surgery at Optimax or Ultralase. My eyes were healthy, and not even very short sighted when I trusted Optimax. I have a huge list of problems now, and as well as drifting apart, one eye turns in when I am exhausted from trying to hold them together, and I cannot begin to describe the constant pain.
An expert witness made this statement regarding my treatment at Optimax:
"The adverse effects that Mrs **** has experienced are severe and numerous and by chronological association seem to be attributable to the laser treatment. Optimax maintain that they did not use a suction ring but Mrs **** is adamant that they did, and reports experiences that support her contention.”
Optimax could not care less, and described my result as brilliant on my records, even though I kept telling them I had problems. In 8 years, they have never asked me how my eyes are, or offered to reimburse any of my many eye related expenses. Optimax owner Russell Ambrose and my surgeon Malcolm Samuel were only concerned by the fact that I still have suction ring shaped marks on my eyes.
At a meeting in 2013, Russell’s only question was: "Do you still have the marks on your eyes?”
He should worry about this, because I did not give my consent for the use of a suction ring, and did not want one anywhere near my eyes. My expert witness has not yet seen my eyes for himself.
Sasha Rodoy was representing me before Russell agreed to meet me in person, and he told her that he was happy to pay for me to see a psychiatrist!! She recorded this conversation and I know he has also made this offer to other people whose lives he’s ruined. He also asked Sasha how he could weed out the patients who would kick up a fuss if they were left with problems so he could exclude them from having surgery!!
It is obvious that Russell Ambrose and Optimax do not care how much harm they cause, they only care about money. I am looking forward to Sasha’s court case because I will be there and will talk to any reporters who are interested in hearing my story.

A few years ago I had laser eye surgery at Optimax clinic in Birmingham.
All went well for a while, but then, out of the blue, I developed an eye disease. I had not previously suffered with any eye problems and believe this may be linked to my laser surgery.
Then about 12 months ago I began to suffer from severe sensitivity to light, in particular glare from the computer monitor. I also believe this to be linked to my surgery, and I now have to wear sunglasses even to watch TV.
I had to give up my job at Christmas after months of struggling to cope, as it involved significant use of the computer.
I have paid a very high price to improve my distance vision.

My eyes are a complete mess thanks to Optimax, but sadly Gail, all this company cares about is money.

Back from the hospital. The doctor confirmed it was a corneal abrasion, but said she had never seen a shape like it as this time instead of being in a straight line the abrasion was a U shape, as though someone had got a pen and drawn on my left eye. She said it was unusual. It's still not completely healed and I have to stay off work for at least another week

Tomorrow I have to go to the West Cumberland Hospital at 10 o'clock to find out if I had another episode of corneal erosions or something even worse.
This is how I have spent the weekend!

Hi
Just to let you know my wife Amanda has had a bad few days and is now blind.
She was sent to the hospital from work and has either another corneal abrasion or an ulcer, they can't tell at the minute. She has to go back to the hospital on Monday for further investigation to see if it has healed. I'm having to take time off work to look after her because she can't be left alone. If Amanda can manage it I will be videoing her blind to show people the real life changing effects of this laser eye surgery. It's horrific to see her like this.

Will Mr Ambrose lodge multiple court orders claiming harassment against all of Ms Rodoy's supporters who will no doubt attend the trial later this year?
As an Optimax director and shareholder, married to the CEO himself, I wonder if Mrs Sara Jane Ambrose will attend to support her husband.

Optimax have been sending my husband junk mail for years, even though it's obvious he does not want to know. What is really shocking is the fact that they had ruined my eyes before that, making it even more unlikely that he should want to go ahead! Completely tactless, but unsurprising as they obviously don't care what they do to people as long as they make money!
