Patient Stories: Yasser Ahmad (Private Banker and Competition Swimmer)

Mr Yasser Ahmad tells the story of his laser eye surgery experience

I was shortsighted before I had eye surgery. For a few years at school, at university, I was quite shortsighted, not drastically but enough to have to wear glasses. I wasn’t that comfortable wearing glasses all the time. I played a lot of sports. So once I graduated I took the decision to look at other options.

Now that I’ve had the surgery, I play a lot of tennis, for example. I don’t have to worry about having to wear glasses, the glasses falling off. Squash, used to play a lot of squash. Just swimming, things like that. Going out to sea, and I’m quite active. So contacts was never really an option for me, and glasses, I didn’t really like to wear them. So, it’s been life-changing.
