Hospital-Fear Journalist Braves Laser Eye Surgery

Short-sighted journalist Sarah Gunthardt has set herself free from a life of blurred vision, glasses and contact lenses after undergoing laser eye surgery.

Despite having a fear of hospitals, the Peterborough Evening Telegraph business editor plucked up the courage to receive the treatment and said the ability to see clearly unaided felt like a miracle.

Sarah, who has worn glasses since she was a teenager, said that she never got used to wearing specs and always felt like they were a barrier between her and the outside world.

She said: "I wasn't wearing jam jar specs but I wore glasses all day for work and contact lenses for things like nights out.

"I covered the opening of the Optimax Clinic in the summer and they were really pleased with it. They noticed that I wore glasses and invited me back for the surgery."
