    Intra-ocular eye surgery (not Laser)…read more I am sixty-six and have needed to wear glasses since I was five years old. I am severely short-sighted and have an astigmatism. Recent glasses have had to be bi-focal and with my poor eyesight I always need super thin lenses in my glasses. I was recently told that I am getting cataracts, so I looked into ways to repair the cataracts privately. Following an interesting and informative pre-op discussion with Optical Express in Plymouth, this June I had eye surgery in Exeter. Because of my age we decided to go for two intra-ocular lenses - yes - not the cornea at the front, it's that bit behind the iris and pupil. That did sound a bit scary, but it was fine. I wouldn't want to do the op every day and I would strongly recommend doing both eyes at the same surgery. There was no pain during the op at all, that night was a little uncomfortable but not painful. The next day I had a check up in Exeter and within a few days I was driving again. It has now been two months and I have had regular check ups in Plymouth. My myopia (short-sightedness) is completely cured, my astigmatism is cured and my night driving is much easier. Although I can read small print now, I am warned that I may possibly need reading glasses as I get older, they can't guarantee that I will not. For now, I am delighted, I have better than 20/20 vision and the freedom of no glasses is just wonderful. I would recommend this surgery to everyone in my position wholeheartedly and thank my husband for paying for the op.

    I found this shopping mall has nearly everything under its roof, the roof lets in alot of daylight,…read morethere are three levels with a food court on the third with Burgerking, Spud-u-LIke, and others. The range of stores here are mostly for clothing with New Look, Next, but also jewellers, music store of HMV but no store to buy an electiric shaver. Conclusion is many top brand stores here with easy access for wheelchairs with elevators from level to level and not many steps. There is a car parking lot that is connected with more elevators however there is a charge for parking at a ticket machine before you leave so beware how long you are staying as the longer there the more will be charged.....crazy Rated a struggling 2 stars as carparking should be free.

    I like this shopping centre, it brings the centre of Plymouth into the 21st Century. It is easy to…read moreget to and parking is easy. You pay as you leave which is great as I never have any spare change! All of your usual chain shops can be found here and you can stay dry now whilst you do your shopping. Coffee shops galore, so you won't go thirsty! The downside for me is that House of Fraser and Debenhams remain out of the centre, so despite it all being very convenient to shop inside, you need to have your coat if you are planning to venture to either of these or beyond. Overall a welcome addition to what was a dreary town centre. There are lots of Plymothians who dislike it, but you can't please everybody!
