Conlons Opticians contact lens fitter Chris Maxwell has taken advantage of the companyÕs involvement in refractive surgery with the Maxivision clinics by having Lasik surgery himself. He was treated by ophthalmologist CT Pillai while colleagues viewed the operation at the Maxivision Manchester clinic.
Mr Maxwell says: ÔI used to be about -3.50D but now, a couple of weeks after surgery, I am marginally hyperopic Ð and it is getting better every day.
ÔI like being able to explain to patients what is involved in laser surgery and give them the benefit of my own experience too.
ÔThe surgery itself was nothing Ð I have no regrets.Õ
ConlonsÕ optometric director Philip Owen said: ÔAfter exploring a number of options Maxivision was the company that matched our customer-care profile and we were very pleased that Chris decided to have laser surgery. We look forward to seeing many more patients pass through our joint clinics.Õ
