People with bad punctuality, I'm not talking about 5-10 mins but if someone is consistently 30 or more mins late to something they're just wankers, especially if it's in a professional capacity.

One hundred percent this ... and whats worse are the people that just fucking refuse to even attempt to change in anyway. An endless list of excuses ... kaaaaaantz

[Carnage]

Professionally, they get 15 mins.' grace from me, after that they can fuck off. It's not that hard to pick up the phone if they're going to be late.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

And funnily enough they tend to be the same people who will throw a hissy fit if someone is a minute late for them

Decided to go ahead and get the lazer eye surgery done with optical express. With my prescription and all the tests they did etc I was advise they within 5ish years I'll probably need reading glasses so what they would do is fix distance in my left eye (dominant) and near in the right eye.  To see how I might take to it they would set me up with contacts to test out for a week or so. Total cost 2900.

Paid deposit of 500 which is refundable if the contact trial doesn't go well and I decide not to get it done. Grand so. Advised the contacts would be in within 2-3 days.

3 days pass (mon) and no reply, suddenly get a call confirming my times and dates for surgery from their UK team... ah here I didn't even get the contacts yet and no one said I'd be getting the call for surgery bookings???
Contact the shop here in Cork and they advise that it's normal to book the dates to ensure you have a spot should you go ahead... well maybe let me know that when  was there originally.

Get a letter in next day confirming the dates. 2 Days later Wed (just gone) they call me over to get the contacts fitted. The optometrist who did the main eye exams with me and was the one who had advised/suggested on getting the surgery done in each eye for the reasons given above calls me in.
Tells me they got the 2 contacts in but she's only going to give me the distance one because they are only operating on one eye...
...ahh sorry but you advised and suggested I get both done 1/1 and I would get the contacts accordingly.. 2 operations.. 1 on the first day and the other on the next. She looks at me like I have two heads.. checks notes.. trys to make out like im wrong.. eventually she's just goes 'ok no problem we can put it in'.  BITCH YOU'RE MEANT TO FUCKING KNOW WHAT IM GETTING DONE!!

Came home today.. another letter in.. a week after the first one.. now with a new consultation and surgery date and time than what they had given me.

I mean fucking seriously.. you are getting nearly 3 grand off me and it's like some fucking dog and pony show! I'm sure this is something they do all the time but for me its fucking surgery on my eyes.. you're not inspiring any fucking confidence AT ALL!

I called in there to the office for them to check this .. Meant to go back in on Tuesday to get the contacts taken back out..  tbh I might just pull out of it and check with optilase  instead.

So sick of dealing with shitty companies and shit service

So, mission ABORTED.?

Do not, under any circumstances, have laser eye surgery with Optical Express. A friend had a botched surgery with them, resulting in infection and permanent, constant pain in his eyes. He's part of a large, Irish and U.K.-based group taking a class action suit against them for similar botched surgeries. He's one of the lucky ones, some are legally blind as a result of their malpractice. A quick google is advised, but cancel it and go somewhere else, whatever you do.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Obviously cancel it.

[Pedrito]

FUCK RYANAIR..Why do I do this myself? I'm not necessarily against open markets and competition and whatever the fuck but seriously fuck these cynical cunts.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Obviously cancel it.

ah yeah, definitely. Called them to complain about the fuck up with appointment's etc around 2:30 and they said they'd call back.  3hrs later and nothing, will just go out tomorrow and get the deposit refunded..



Edit* They never called me back.. fuckin STATE of em!

[Ducky]

Yeah if they can't get dates and details correct, fuck that from on high.

In a way I'm glad I'm comfortable with my glasses as the thought of opting into a surgery on your eyes that goes wrong is fucking chilling.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

my eyes are pretty sore after taking those contacts out.. left eye has some 'orrible bloodshot shit goin on in it.
Going out to them in Mahon Point tomorrow and getting my deposit back.. complete fucking joke.

Went with Optilase over ten years ago and found them very good. If you're having issues with a company pre-surgery, just imagine how bad they'll be if something does go wrong!! That said though, my vision deteriorated post-surgery, nowhere near as bad as the level it was before, but just to be aware that can also happen too.

[Born of Fire]

Lifetime glasses wearer here, using contacts since I was 17. At 31 now I think I'd be more than happy with 10 years of decent vision! How fantastic a feeling it must be to wake up in the mornings and be able to see clearly without fumbling around for the cuntin glasses 

[Pedrito]

Best thing I ever did 10 years ago, changed my life. I wasn't even that bad but the difference is incredible.
