Here are some reviews of Optimax UK
After spending £3000 I still have to wear glasses as they did not correct my vision to 20:20. After speaking to their contact centre I have been told I would have to pay again to have them retreated to correct the residual prescription. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.
I was told at the time of surgery that because of my prescription they could not guarantee my prescription would be correct first time and that I may need a 2nd treatment to completlety correct this. I was told that any further treatments would be free. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A LIE
I was also told on my consultation that I would have a lifetime guarantee so if my eyes changed later in life and I need my eyes lasered again to achieve 20:20 this would be covered. I have now been told this is incorrect. AGAIN THEY LIED
AVOID AVOID AVOID
I developed eye floaters due to the suction of my eye making the flap. I am now stuck with these for the rest of my life.
Optimax ruined my vision forever and I payed £2750 for them to do it.
They suck.

Many people think that reviews are real and legitimate, but the truth is far from it. The clinics put pressure onto review sites to remove negative reviews, they threaten the review sites with defamation and threaten anyone posting negative reviews also.
Here are some truthful reviews:
I Had Undergone Lasik Surgery At (B)(6) Laser Eye Surgery Centers In (B)(6) Of 2012. After The Surgery My Vision Was Great During The Day, But I Have Problems With Night Vision. I Experience Starbursts, Halos, And Glare Around Lights, And Continued To Do So At Night. I Have Been To The Center For Check-Ups A Week After, Month After, 6 Months After, And The Doctor Assured Me That The Starbursts, Halos, And Glares Will Eventually Fade Away, However I Have Not Noticed Any Improvements Since The Surgery. On The Day Of The Last Check-Up, I Insisted To The Doctor To Correct The Problem. The Doctor Asked Me One Question And That Was If The Problems Affected My Driving At Night. The Side Effects Are Not Life Threatening, But The Problem Is So Severe And Disruptive. My Vision Bleeds And Sparks With Every Light Post, Car Light, Light Sign, And Other Bright Light In The Area. Even After I Described The Situation To The Doctor, She Replied That There Is Nothing She Can Do About It And That She Could Not Help Me Further. She Stated That 1-2% Of Lasik Candidates Experience These Problems. Note, I Went In 2 Times For A Diagnostics And Testing A Month Before The Surgery And Was Deemed A Great Candidate For Laser Custom Lasik. Custom Lasik Customvue.
Had Bilateral Lasik For Myopia And Astigmatism, With Surgery Performed By One Of The Leading Ophthalmologic Surgeons In The Nation. I Was Left With Residual Refractive Error And Astigmatism That Has Required Continued Use Of Eyeglasses. Far Worse, The Surgery Created A Severe Dry Eye Condition That Made Most Activities Of Daily Life Difficult And Painful And That Kept My Corneal Epithelium In A Damaged State One Doctor Described As "Tenuous." The Only Solution That Brought Substantial Relief Was Cautery Of All Four Puncta. But Because Of Repeated Efforts With Partial Cautery, And Because My Fully Cauterized Puncta Kept Spontaneously Opening, I Eventually Had To Have All Four Puncta Permanently Closed With Administration Of Cautery-Suture-Cautery. All Told, I Had Twenty-Eight Cauterization Procedures. This Ordeal Created Eighteen Months Of Chronic Intense Pain That Triggered A Severe And Dangerous Depression. Event Today, More Than Six Years Later, My Eyes Are Still Sometimes Painfully Dry, And Their Capacity To Heal After Even Minor Injury Is Substantially Impaired. Mfr Name, City And State: It Doesn'T Matter. All Lasik Surgeries Damage Corneas. You Know That.
I Had Lasik Surgery Completed On (B)(6) 2012, With The Intralase Procedure. I Went To (B)(6) In (B)(6). I Had My Initial Screening Completed By This Office. I Was There For About 1 Hour With Various Tests, But Don'T Know What Testing Was Done On Me. However, I Do Know That No Eye Dry Testing Was Done, Now That I Know What This Encompasses. I Wore Contacts Comfortably For 20 Years Without Any Issues. I Met With Dr. (B)(6) For About 5 To 10 Minutes And Was Told I Was A Good Candidate. He Never Once, Nor Did His Staff, Tell Me About The Risks And Side Effects Of Lasik Surgery. Since Then, I Have Gone To 3 Different Ophthalmologists, As I Have Been In Pain; Discomfort To A Point That Put Me Into Major Depressions And Suffered From Ptsd. I Have A Counselor And Psychiatrist To Get Me Through This. At One Point, I Didn'T Want To Live Anymore. The Surgery Center Wiped Their Hands Clean Of The Procedure And Had Me Go To An Optometrist For All Of My Post-Operative Care. The Surgery Center Has Not Been Compassionate Or Seems To Care How This Has Affected My Life. From My Other Third Party Ophthalmologists Visits, It Seems I Had A Pre-Existing Condition. This Should Have Been Discovered Prior To Surgery. I Have Written A Letter To The Surgeon Explaining To Him What I Was Going Through - No Response. I Requested My Medical Records And Was Told By The Scheduling Coordinator/Office Manager She Needed To Check With Doctor First. I Am Now Waiting Two Weeks And Still Have Not Received Them.
I Have Chronic Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye Aka Neurotrophic Keratopathy Or Refractory Dry Eye. My Eyes Do Not Tear When They Are Dry Or Come Into Contact With Irritants And Allergens. This Is An Extremely Painful And Degenerative Condition Though I Don'T Think I Will Be Around To See Exactly How Bad It Gets Because I Intend To End My Life Soon. My Doctor Claims That It Is Not Possible For This To Be A Result Of Lasik. However, When Pressed He Said That Up To 40% Of Lasik Patients Have Some Degree Of Residual Dry Eye. He Is Full Of Contradictions. It Depends What You'Re Asking Him And In What Context. The Answer Changes Regularly. It Took Me 6 Years To Find A Doctor That Finally Told Me That This Condition Is In Fact Due To Lasik Surgery. This Is Due To A Concerted Effort By Ophthalmologists To Cover Up For Each Other. Even Though They Knew Better They Sent Me On A 6 Year Quest To Find Out What I Should Have Been Told Before The Surgery. Lasik Causes Extreme Dry Eyes In Many People, Especially People Like Me With High Risk Factors.
The Doctor Reported That A Laser Vision Correction Patient Who Had An Initial Lasik Treatment On (B)(6) 2011, Has Continued To Have Blurry Vision, Halos And Experiences Headaches. The Doctor Further Reported That A Pentacam Exam On The Patient At The 12 Month Post Op Exam Of The Right Eye Shows What Appears To Be A Decentered Ablation. The Patient'S 15 Month Post Op Visual Acuity In The Right Eye Is 20/25 Correctable To 20/20 But Is Not Clear.
