Part 2 of 2 👀
I don’t watch reality TV shows, so had never heard of
Nella Rose
or
Fred Sirieix
until this clip was brought to my attention a few days ago.

As seen in Pt 1, on 31 August 2018, tagging
Optical Express
,
fred sirieix
posted on his Facebook: ‘Off for lens replacement surgery with @OpticalExpress can't wait to see the results’
In the supposedly pre surgery part of his promo video, he says: ‘I want to be like the X-Men!’
Post surgery, allegedly 24 hrs later: ‘I’m very happy with the results, so, so far so good and I'm really looking forward to see what’s coming…’ (Was that a wink or squint at video end?)
It should be noted that
Optical Express
customers DO NOT get to see the surgeon the next day, even if needing emergency treatment, instead directed to
NHS
hospital!
'I was really pleased with the service I have received from the team at
Optical Express
– my surgeon was excellent, having performed over 80,000 procedures, so I was confident I was in safe hands.’
No Fred, you were definitely NOT in safe hands!
Dr Jan Venter
has (and had) dozens of legal claims from his OE patients, and is also responsible for fitting
#ICL
lenses in
Optimax Eye Surgery Specialists
patients (before David Moulsdale poached him), negligently not informing them of the need for regular ECC checks, so that majority have been having their
#ICLs
removed, while others need urgent corneal grafts!

I have no doubt that Fred was incentivised to publicise OE with more than free surgery, a fact that neither he nor Optical Express have declared anywhere.*
In this ‘I'm A Celebrity’ clip, worrying about cutting his fingers, Fred says: ‘Well, I can’t see anything!’ (Oops, can X-Men see in the dark?)
And when Nella questions the fact that he had surgery, presumably remembering he signed a deal with OE, he doesn’t say much more, other than to tell her he was old (now 51), but I doubt anyone but a child would consider 46 old, which is, by the way, too young for lens exchange surgery.
Science stuff: Fred’s problem round the campfire at night is caused by the complex optics employed by multifocal intraocular lenses. They split the available light which causes loss of contrast perception and difficulty seeing in dim light.
The patient information booklet for the lenses I'm guessing he has (Tecnis multifocal ZKB00 or Tecnis Symfony EDOF) actually warns of this, for example, that patients may have difficulty perceiving hazards on the road when driving at night.
Both lenses also cause dysphotopsia (arcs/streaks/glare/halos/starbursts around light sources).
And if he has the EDOF lenses, his near vision will be sh*t!
With Fred in the jungle and unable to tell me himself, I will be contacting his
Encanta Talent Management
agent to confirm or deny if payment was received for this promo.
