    I am a young 71 and quite fit i am interested in your new laser eye treatment and i am wondering if there are any limiting factors.
    1 I use a medium strenth varifocal glasses this means that my reading vision is diferent to my normal vision
    2 I have tried to use soft contact lemses some years ago and found them to uncomfortable to continue with even with liquid tears and i was told that this was due to my tendancy towards dry eyes .
    Would either of the above present a problem and if not can you say how much it would cost to have my eyes corrected
    my last test was as follows
    Right eye Sph +2.5 Cyl 0.50 Axis 1.05 Add +2,5

    Left eye Sph +2.75 Cyl 0.75 Axis 90 Add 2.25

    I do not know what these figuter mean i have taken them fron the report provided last year by my optician

    Hi Michael
    Assuming you have otherwise healthy eyes, this prescription would be fine for Z LASIK eye surgery. We will need to assess just how dry your eyes are though.
    We should be able to provide excellent near and distance vision.
    You could arrange a consultation by calling 0845 5000 500.
    Thank you.
