Answer 1

My mum recently had laser eye surgery done by optical express (about 6 months back now) but located in London. She's had dry eye ever since and is having constant pain and discomfort with it. For approx. four days after the surgery she wasn't aloud to drive but she instead opted for the healthy option and walked -there's not anything necessarily stopping you from going to work i'm afraid. Dry eye effects the old aged a lot more however she wouldn't recommend it to anybody else as she has to buy artificial tears for the rest of her life- which is more hassle than the constant prescription lens. There is no WAY that they will let you get a discount as they ensure that lots of forms are signed beforehand to stop exactly that. I wouldn't want to discourage you from getting your eyes done but think of other options before hand; maybe consider lenses? :)
