A.As my myopia was quite strong I was not able to do anything without either glasses or contact lenses. Despite the fact that I have been using contact lenses for 15 years without serious problems, I still found it inconvenient to always put them in and out, carry around the cleaning liquids on trips and also being helpless in case I lost one.

A.Kobe Clinic is a reputable LASIK clinic with English speaking assistance and consulting. The doctors and staff were professional at all times and especially the personal care-taking for me as a foreigner was outstanding. Also the costs of LASIK are a lot less than what they are in my home country while the same equipment is used by equally professional doctors and staff.

A.Although I had been told exactly how the procedure is done I was still extremely nervous on the day of the surgery. Looking back there is really no need to be afraid: the surgery takes only a few minutes and is not painful at all. After the surgery I could see the difference immediately ? my vision was slightly blurry but I could see without glasses. The same evening I went out with friends for dinner and was already excited about the change. The next morning was even more amazing when the blurriness was gone and my vision was almost perfect at the 1-day-after check at Kobe clinic. A week later I went for my 1-week appointment and had perfect vision on both eyes ? I went skiing that same weekend with no problems at all.
