That's nothing! If you want a website full of propagandist reviews head over to www.optimaxchangedmylife.co.uk where all the posted reviews are extremely positive about the company.

How could a person choose a company like this to perform an operation on them when you can only doubt their sincerity?

It's all just junk science anyway.

Mitrajaya sets sights on disposing Optimax eye treatment franchise!!!!

KUALA LUMPUR: Mitrajaya Holdings Bhd has decided to sell off its 51% stake in the local franchise holder for Optimax, a British laser eye correction chain, for RM5.1mil.

The company told Bursa Malaysia that it on Wednesday agreed to dispose of all its interest in Optimax Eye Specialist Centre Sdn Bhd comprising of 1.275 million shares for RM4 apiece.

Construction-based Mitrajaya acquired its stake in the eye surgery specialist in December 2001, reportedly for RM2.5mil. Optimax today has one of the largest networks in Malaysia for laser refractive surgery.

Mitrajaya’s statement on Wednesday did not give details of the sale such as the potential buyer and the rationale for the disposal.

However, the company said a further announcement would be made once a definitive agreement had been inked.

Mitrajaya’s healthcare division, comprising Optimax, posted a pre-tax profit of RM790,000 last year, it earlier revealed in its latest unaudited results report the bourse.

That showed an improvement from a pre-tax profit of RM591,000 in 2013 and from a loss of RM2.13mil the previous year.

Mitrajaya also said in Wednesday’s announcement that pursuant to the pre-emption terms of the shareholders agreement dated Dec 13, 2001, between Mitrajaya and Datuk Tan Boon Hock, the company had given notice of its disposal intention to the latter.

According to Mitrajaya, Tan has to reply within 30 days of his acceptance; otherwise, the company will be entitled to deal with the sale shares in accordance with the terms of the shareholders’ agreement.

Looks like MoneySuperMarket.com have pulled the plug on their advertising deal with Optimax, the provider of LASIK and so on. https://www.moneysupermarket.com/vouchers/store/optimax/3487/1/

Either MSM pulled the plugged as they didn't want connected with a toxic brand; or Optimax were unable to pay their bills. Both explanations don't look positive for Optimax or Russell Ambrose. It may only be a matter of time before they genuinely do go under

http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshire/news ... re-ambrose.html

Russell Ambrose:

"I am pleased to give my personal guarantee to Ultralase patients that they will be looked after and their lifetime aftercare guarantee continues."

Can you trust this man or his company to go anywhere near your eyes?

6 down, rest to go!

Russell Eiffy Ambrose:

"This has been caused by years of bad publicity surrounding a competitor’s unethical behaviour. We are all tarred with the same brush and it is most unfair that hard working and loyal staff in this company will lose their jobs because of this"

Unethical behaviour?

Why doesn't Russ the Puss tell us who and why they are unethical?

Here is Tom Bollans of Optimax Marketjng's unethical advertising handywork:

Optimax buy fresh victims for £10 each apparently;

"Programme Benefits:

Ongoing baseline offer
• £10 flat rate
• 30-day cookie window"

I can only assume a 30 day cookie window is a period of time to batter a customer into getting surgery without losing commission?

Ask many of the Optimomax laser treatment victims and they may have a different answer to that of the  marketing gurus over at Optenax

Optimax behaviour is disgusting, but what else can we expect with a corrupt Tory government?

The Socialist Campaign Group set out an agenda in January 1984 to ban private medical healthcare other than NHS and this horrible organisation are a prime example of why we must ban non-essential cosmetic surgery in the UK.

I hope that the next Labour leader has the balls to stand up to the Tories in a traditional labour sense and stop trying to act like them.

To those people who have had their eyesight ruined by Optimax, Remember what the greatest man ever; Lenin,  himself said: "The most important thing when ill, is to never lose heart."

Keep the red flag flying high!!!

Optimax reviews on ReviewCentre.com:

http://www.reviewcentre.com/Online-Opticians/ ... -review_3492731

As you can from the above, Optimax UK have negative laser vision correction reviews on the impartial Review Website ReviewCentre.com.

They don't review well for laser eye treatment reviews on reviews.co.uk

http://www.reviews.co.uk/company-reviews/store/Optimax

" Optimax is a terrible company. I have everything to complain about them and have posted various more detailed reviews about them but they just don't get shown! "

&

" Do not ever use Optimax. Our experience in the Bristol branch was shocking. Firstly they take a deposit off you saying they will refund it and they never do unless you chase them up for it. Secondly they are dishonest, about the likelihood of a successful operation and about the waiting times.
I would never recommend them to anyone, rather the opposite! "

If I were interested in getting my eyesight corrected with laser eye treatment, I would research review websites early in the process. If the laser eye treatment reviews were poor, I'd reconsider my choice of laser eye treatment company. That's just me though

Interesting that this guy Russell Ambrose gave a personal guarantee that he would meet the aftercare needs of Ultralase patients.

I had LasIK + Wavefront over a year ago at the Ultralase Guildford branch (which subsequently closed so followups were in Optimax in Reading). The care in the surgery was ok at the time, had a massive wait for my appointment and was there for about 4-5hrs in total (as opposed to the 1-2 they tell you). However the surgery went to plan and I was given all the bits and pieces needed for recovery

The main problem I have is that the surgery simply has not worked on one eye. I am left with a small prescription in my right eye (-0.25 to -0.5) which considering I was only -2.0 (L) and -2.5 (R) in the first place is pretty shocking. It took several months of followups and a referral to their main branch in London for them to finally admit it, at first it was "dryness" that they were blaming on the blurred vision and that "given time" it will correct itself. Well, I've given it nearly 15 months and it is simply not good enough. I think it is made worse because my right eye is my dominant eye but even so there are days when I feel like putting glasses on again.

What will Ultralase/Optimax do about it? nothing, their small print gets them out of any responsibility for what happens when its not perfect.

If your thinking of getting your eyes corrected then please think seriously about it and do plenty of research..... If you think "its ok, my eyes are not in the -5+ range so it should be simple" then beware that it CAN go wrong for anyone. Go for the most experienced surgeon you can find because I thought it was a simple and easy procedure that so many people have done now and just chose the most convenient surgery and a date that suited me. I have no idea if I was unlucky or the Surgeon made a mistake, I guess its impossible to tell but please bear in mind that their success statistics are based on results that you might not think are as good as they are made out to be......trust me a -0.25 to -0.5 imperfection is well within their "success range" and its left me squinting, blinking and generally poor sighted.

Would love to know if there is any comeback but my £2500 was not well spent and it looks like I will be back wearing glasses soon.

GMC complaints re: Optimax Limited
"We welcome responses from anyone who has a view about this draft guidance and are particularly keen to hear from individuals or organisations that are affected by the issues it raises."

www.gmc-uk.org/Guidance_for_all_doctors_...ted.pdf_61281552.pdf

"We will analyse the responses to the consultation and consider how we should adapt the guidance to take account of all the comments we receive."

That'd be a first

Refractive eye surgery is NOT cosmetic, but as Prof Harminder Dua (former President of the RCOphth) pointed out to me last year, laser and lens exchange surgery are sold as cosmetic procedures.

Optegra's glossy TV ads for Clarivu are a perfect example:
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2551894...sleading-claims.html

Optimax TV ads would be the same, if it weren't for the fact they can no longer afford to advert on TV due to the current financial difficulties being experienced.

Tick tock, it's the final countdown

I'm not surprised that Money Supermarket have binned their relationship with Optimax. Not all companies are as ethical as Money Supermarket.

Tesco, following on from the recent Horsemeat scandal and then the financial irregularities scandal are still working with Optimax Laser Eye Surgery Clinics.

http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=584

Would you be surprised if Tesco also pulled the plug, for someone like Tesco, a leading brand trying to repair it's own damaged reputation, a relationship with a company like Optimax can only be a bad thing for Tesco. Imagine someone ended up with bad eyesight after paying for the treatment with their Tesco Clubcard. That's not the sort of PR Tesco need and I'm sure that if the CEO of Tesco Dave Lewis knew about this deal, he would take action to remedy the situation and avoid taking the name of Tesco through another potential scandal.

Not only Dave Lewis, but the others on the executive board over at Tesco PLC:

http://www.tescoplc.com/index.asp?pageid=79

Moneysavingexpert.com, the website owned by saving guru Martin Lewis is also promoting using Optimax for Laser Eye Surgery and points to the above Tesco deal. I would have expected Moneysavingexpert.com, a consumer champion, to be more careful in their due diligence processes and not jump into bed with "cheap" laser eye surgery companies such as Optimax.

" 10.Laser eye surgery for less

It's a big decision to fix your sight permanently, but big savings are possible. Make sure you do your medical research fully though, and consider all options.

It's possible to pay for some or all of your Optimax surgery with Tesco points. Better still, as Optimax is part of Tesco's Clubcard Deals scheme, you get it for a third of the price. In other words, a £5 in-store voucher is worth £15 of laser eye surgery.

So you could have a £990 treatment with £330 worth of vouchers. Or if you don't have enough to cover it all, use them to part pay."

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/Cheap-Contact-Lenses/

I wonder if anyone over at Money Saving Expert ever reviews and researches the companies that it mentions on it's website?

It's amazing how desperate a company like Optimax are to get people to take up laser eye surgery with them!

http://www.savethestudent.org/student-discoun ... ye-surgery.html

Students get 20% off their laser eye surgery with Optimax. So desperate and unethical to target 18 year old kids with little life experiences. Should Students not be spending the little money they have on books for their coursework or basic things like food and accommodation? Laser eye surgery deals aimed at students is really unethical in my view!

Sadly not the only laser eye surgery company trying to prise students of their cash. Another bunch of desperadoes called Centre For Sight owned by a Shatez Daya are also offering discounts to students.

http://www.savethestudent.org/student-discounts/centre-for-sight.html

This must be something the government looks into. Companies like Optimax and Centre For Sight going after young people with little life experiences and offering surgical treatments incentivised by discounts.

Thought I'd read that Lewis sold out to something like a price-comparison business?

Are you the same John McDonnell who made despicable comments about women?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-28322 ... medy-night.html

"Left-winger John McDonnell made the offensive remarks about Employment Minister Esther McVey at a tasteless Remembrance Sunday event, the Daily Mail revealed today. He told the audience how a campaign had been launched to kick Ms McVey out of her seat, but activists were arguing 'Why we are sacking her? Why aren't we lynching the b******?'."

And the same John McDonnell who disrespected thousands of hardworking serving British Soldiers and their families in support of terrorists?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/2949688.stm

"The MP praised the "bravery" of the IRA, whose "bombs and bullets" had resulted, he said, in the peace process in Northern Ireland."

The same John McDonnell suspended from the House of Commons for repugnant behaviour?

http://youtu.be/CpDyW-p_KWs

I think you need to rain it in pal.

John McDonnell MP is nothing but a champagne socialist. Instead of using his voice in Westminster to speak up for the poor and the working classes, he spends his time sucking up to the Red Tory elite and taking his payrises like the rest of the maggots in his party whilst the poor and working classes struggle to put food on their tables.

John McDonnell is a fraud. Knowing that the people of Scotland were of socialist leaning, why didn't he stand up for Scottish independence, instead of running scared of Milliband and his capitalist pals in Westminster and playing the nothing to do with me, I'm a scouser card? That's how you know he's not a socialist, he's a a phoney money grabbing red Tory.

John McDonnell should stand down as a member of parliament and stand under the banner of a socialist-aligned party but then he doesn't want to lose his salary and fancy home does he?

I have reported your post to the Moderators as political argument and not related in any way to the purpose of this Forum.  There are enough Forums around relevant to your own subject without posting so totally off subject here.

Optimax have a deal with the eggheads over at Oxford University, offering a 10% discount if they use code UNIOX84

https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/personnel/staffinfo/discountsforstaff/health/

Not only are they blatantly going after the students, but also going after the lecturers that give them tuition. UNBELIEVABLE!

Would they consider giving special discounts to priests, nuns and reverends. Where does it stop. ISIS clerics and fighters or UKIP members? This company has no shame, no morals and no ethics. Discounted cheap laser eye surgery? No thanks.

This number is Optimax.. some good reviews and some bad... http://bit.do/optimax
