A woman from Croydon, who's been awarded more than half | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
a million pounds in damages after undergoing laser eye surgery, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
says she's relieved she can now get on with her life. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Stephanie Holloway claimed the High Street chain, Optical Express, | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
didn't properly explain the risks involved. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
And as a result of the treatment, she can now no longer work | :00:33. | :00:35. | |

They amounted to more than half a million pounds. The judge said | :01:32. | :01:40. | |

Royal College of Ophthalmologists guidelines which suggested patients | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
should be given a consent form at least 24 hours before surgery. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
