I have written a review because I am grateful to...
I delayed access treatment for another year to ensure there were no developments with my eyes and now I am very pleased with my decision to choose Forme Clinic. If I was to complete a cost benefit analysis I would say that the excuse to travel alone to Prague was a huge bonus. It is the most amazing place and I didn’t experience any anxiety up until just before the surgery because I was positively distracted by the environment.
The clinic is very efficient, providing for me a unique medical experience with no delay or faffing around. The staff gave me half a tablet prior to the surgery which did concern me because I realised that I would be fully aware throughout the procedure. Dr Vasek said that sedation was unnecessary and on reflection I would agree with him. When the local anaesthetic was injected I felt my eyes become numb and heavy as they closed. They stayed closed throughout the procedure. I could only see the bright light through my eye lids and feelings of pressure but no pain. It felt as though someone was tugging on my eyelashes. I can remember being surprised by how quickly the first lid was done and not feeling worried about the other three because it was OK. All four lids took less than an hour. After the treatment I was glad that I had not been sedated as I was alert enough to go out and see more of Prague.
Provider Review
The whole experience was entirely positive. Dr Vasek is a confident and skilled surgeon and the clinic staff ensure that it runs efficiently. There was no need to take any painkillers at all afterwards and I would say the worst thing was the itching between days 2-5. This did torment me to the point I was making fists with my toes and I was worried about scratching my eyes during the night. I did not expect to heal so quickly and have had no problems at all with my eyes / lids and have been able to read, use computers etc. I look more alert, less annoyed and have no eye bags. I expected some improvement to my eyes but did not expect symmetry because my eyes were different to start with. I noticed after the surgery that the incisions around my eyes had been made differently and now my eyes look the same. Dr Vasek must have factored in the eye difference - I think that he is amazing. I have hypertrophic scars elsewhere on my body but my eyes have healed well as Dr Vasek said they would. I am not planning any more treatments but would not hesitate to recommend the clinic to friends. People think that accessing treatment abroad will be of a lower standard because it is cheaper but this has not been my experience.
