Went to Optical Express in Liverpool One shopping centre to see if I could get my reading vision corrected.Short story because I have a lazy eye and only one good eye which has terrific distance vision they could do nothing.

So we did not even get to prices but I was very impressed with how professional the set up was.

As for the headline price being 395 and then adding a 0 then it is much like any other marketing strategy.

Walk away and wait for the phone call and watch the price drop.

Have to be honest looking at the set up and working out the potentiol overhead in my head I cannot see many people getting the 395 price.

So who would you contact in Goa for this treatment? Is there anywhere in north Goa? Presumably they give you a consultation first and explain things?

Not true, Laser Eye Surgery can be used for both long and shortsight..

I've heard that they can do both also. My friend wore glasses for both distance and reading ie needed two pairs. When she got hers done years ago they asked which she'd prefer to be rectified and she chose distance. I've since heard that they can now correct both types at the same time :que

I suffered from both long and short they are now better than 20/20 , they say i may need glasses for reading in several years , but i can put up with that. If you are are suitable go for it the operation is over in 5 minutes and absolutley no pain and i could read a newspaper as soon as i walked out the door

Well, you have all convinced me to get it done :tup I am now up to 3.5 magnification for reading and I can never find my glasses! So any recommendations of where to get it done in Goa would be most helpful. :thanks
