“I’ve never had an experience like it,” said Richard after undergoing lens replacement surgery at the Bridgewater Clinic in Manchester. An electrician by profession and a lifelong cricket enthusiast, Richard’s vision had begun to decline, affecting his daily tasks and ultimately forcing him to retire from the sport he had loved since the age of six.

It wasn’t until a friend recommended Optical Express for laser eye surgery that Richard decided to explore this option to restore his vision. After attending a free consultation, he underwent a series of tests to determine the most suitable procedure, concluding that lens replacement surgery would deliver the best results for him.

The surgery, which lasted just over two hours, was a smooth experience for Richard. “It wasn’t uncomfortable in any way. There was no pain involved at all,” he says, attributing this to the skill and expertise of his surgeon, Huba Kiss.

At the end of the procedure, optometrist Nina was thrilled to deliver the great news that Richard’s eyesight had improved to better than 20/20 vision. Having worn glasses for 33 years, this life-changing procedure has completely transformed his quality of life. Richard concludes, “Looking around, everything is clearer,” and adds, “I can’t thank the Bridgewater Clinic enough for everything they’ve done.”

Richard’s success story is just one example of the many happy patients who have undergone vision correction surgery with Optical Express. With 95% of patients achieving better than 20/20 vision, it’s clear why we’re trusted by thousands to transform their vision.
