I was tested at Optical Express in February 2017 and deemed a good candidate for refractive lens surgery, as my eyesight is appalling, and I struggle to do my oil paintings as a result, with stinging eyes after a while wearing my prescription glasses. I was told to see my Surgeon 2 weeks prior to the planned op, and was then surprisingly rejected, and told that as an "Artist", the surgery would make my vision 'worse', for something like that!
Now I'm confused as to where to go. I've heard of people paying around £6000, and then being anle to see everything as clear as when they were a child,
but I have just read of someone being quoted £20,000 by a well known eye hospital.
Also, I'm short sighted, but can't see 6 feet ahead either. Help!
