India Knight journalist and author on feeling blessed thanks to David Gartry

“It is like suddenly occupying a different planet – a recognisable one, but one that, in its wealth of incredible detail, is wholly new to me…It’s like someone’s upgraded me to HD. I feel blessed and I hope to keep feeling this way for a long time. I’m told the wonderment abates but never really ceases.”

Renowned journalist and author India Knight recently published the acclaimed book ‘In Your Prime: Older, Wiser, Happier‘. With glowing reviews from the press India Knight’s witty take on the post 45 years captured the hearts of many. She covers a range of topics and describes various incidents that have been revelationary in her life as she approaches fifty years old. Citing laser eye surgery as one of the best things she has ever done in her life, India dedicates an entire section to providing a real insight into her surgery with David Gartry.

India describes how she wore contact lenses since she was seventeen, was not able to see the time on the alarm clock in bed and was often anxious if her glasses were not immediately to hand. We follow her entire laser eye surgery journey where she also details the consultation, her discussion with David Gartry about the surgery and then the treatment itself.

Describing the result as a ‘miracle’ India Knight leaves us with these words:

‘Life is short and the world is beautiful – so much more beautiful than I ever knew. I do think the only drawback is the amount of time I’m about to spend staring at things and marvelling. If you’ve ever wondered about it: do it’
