I had been wearing glasses or contacts for about 25 years with a prescription of -5.5 & -5.75. I wanted corrective surgery but waited until I found a recommended, safe procedure. Accuvision were suggested to me by a neighbour who had his eyes corrected there a year previous and had experinced no problems. The free consultation was extremely thorough & profeessional, plus the specialist surgeon performing the procedure instilled confidence. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes. It was rather like going to the dentist...but not as bad! The next day I could see fine, with just a slight dry itching and two weeks later it was as if I'd never had glasses! After 6 weeks I have better t ...  More...

The whole team at accuvision were great. Initial consultations were very informative and surgery time was quick and efficient with lots of support from the surgeons and whole team. The surgery itself wasnt painful, just uncomfortable for a few minutes, with a lifteme worth of benefits. After care is also great with a 24hr number should you need it. Highly recommend going to accuvision if you are considering laser treatment.  More...

I thought about having Laser Surgery about 3 years ago, but that was as far as it went until my friend had hers done and said how fantastic it was. So I rang round a number of companies only to be told that they could not do my prescription, it was Accuision and one other company that said it could be done. I opted for the other company as it was only 300 miles from where I live in Scotland and Accuvision was 600. I went for my consultation in July this year and all was well, I told them that I have Ulcerated Colitis and it was put in my notes and nothing mentioned about it. I booked to have the surgery at the end of July. My husband and I travelled overnight so we could get to the clinic fo ...  More...

I decided to look at laser surgery back in May. As I had been wearing hard c/l for 20 years I had to make the sacrifice of wearing glasses for a while! My first stop was Optimax in Leicester due to its location in my nearest city. I was advised that 3 weeks of non c/l wearing should suffice and so off I went. as the clinic had only just opened it was a little disorganised and I had to wait an hour to be seen. I was told that my corneas were too thin for lasik but I could have Epi-Lasek. However my corneas hadn't demoulded enough for a proper examination so had to wait another 3 weeks to see if I could have epi-lasek. The lady I saw wasn't very helpful and I felt she was too bored to ...  More...

I had treatment 2 days ago now and all is pretty good so far (I am writing this with no glasses). I am reserving final judgment for a couple of weeks while my eyes settle down. **Surgery day** The day of surgery was pretty busy (Mondays and Thursdays) with at least 4 others having the procedure done at similar times to me and lots of checking and rechecking eye measurements etc. Despite this, the staff were excellent and made me feel relaxed. The surgery itself was slightly painful and unnerving. My right eye went well and was glad to have the left eye complete too, only to find that after checking the pupil, I had to have the flap lifted and re-cleaned. As soon as the surgery was ov ...  More...

I had my consultation with Accuvision after being told that my prescription was too severe for Laser surgery at another clinic. My prescription was a -6.75 with a 4.25 astigmatism in my left eye and a -8 with a 2,5 astigmatism in my right eye. I went along with no real hope that they could offer me anything different. I was over the moon when, after careful examination of my eyes and prescription, Vikash declared that they could not only treat my eyes but be confident that I would not have to wear glasses for anything more than possibly night driving. I booked up my treatment and went in for it about two weeks later. I was very nervous laying on the table but had no need to be. The staff we ...  More...

Review by Gina Bate - Posted on 29/10/2004 - Rating:5/5 Just wanted to say thank you for "looking after my eyes"! I felt I couldn't have been in better hands. You are all so professional and it mean't so much ..... If anyone is nervous and not sure what to do, let me re-assure you, from my own personal experience, I could not have put my "eyes" in better hands. Everything from start to finish was so professional, I just knew that my eyes would be ok..... and they are. Infact more than ok - I am writing this just 24 hours after treatment and it is just wonderful. After many years of wearing contact lenses my eyes already feel "brighter". Even immediately after treatment, a quick pe ...  More...

I had my laser treatment at the end of August. Originally i had gone to Ultralase but was told my cornea was too steep and that my only option was implantable contact lenses but as my prescription wasn't that strong it wouldn't be worth it. I was pretty disappointed by this as i hate wearing glasses and this was something i was thinking about for ages. By accident i saw an ad for Accuvision and called them and found out that it may be possible to treat so i went along and found out that yes it was so booked myself in and haven't looked back since - had my 6 week check up and my vision is better than 20 20. The staff were fabulous i remember the nurse holding my hand throughout t ...  More...

I'm 23 and have been wearing glasses since I was 2. I had a prescription of +6.75 and +4.50. My father recommended Accuvision after receiving treatment from them. (He now has 20:20 vision). They were happy to treat me but as my prescription was so high, they warned that I might still need to wear glasses for reading and driving. With all this considered I went ahead with the surgery on April 1st 2004. The surgeons and the consultants were lovely, very kind and reassuring, the nurse even held my hand all the way through the operation. 6 months later I have 20:20 vision. My eye sight is better now than it ever was when wearing my glasses. I would thoroughly recommend Accuvision to ...  More...

I had my eye sight corrected at Accuvision five weeks ago. I live at Newcastle but because my prescription was so bad at +7.5 no one would treat me. I had a free consultation at the London clinic and was so impressed I had the treatment two days later. The procedure took only minutes and there was no pain. My sight was improved instantly and got better each day. I had worn glasses or contact lenses for nearly fifty years and have now thrown them away. My vision was checked arter a month and is now 20/20 My advice is to go for it...  More...

Amazing, I can see! 3 months ago I had a glasses prescription of + 6 and + 5.5 and couldn’t be without my glasses for more than a few minutes without getting a headache. Now thanks to Accuvision's care, attention to detail and wave front technology I have 20/20 vision in both eyes. The procedure was a bit scary and to be honest a bit painful. I had an interesting train ride to Croydon being guided like a blind person, and eventually I began to feel a little better. The worst of the pain only really lasted about 3 hours and suddenly I could open my eyes better and even watch the TV without my glasses, something I had never been able to do. The next morning I already had roughly 20/20 ...  More...

I have been blind in one eye since I was a child and have worn a contact lens for the last 13 years. Obviously, this worried me incase anything went wrong with my one 'good' eye. Accuvision were thoroughly professional and reassuring when dealing with me. They took a good two hours on my initial consultation and I felt total confidence in them. My vision is now apparently better than 20:20 in my working eye and I feel like a miracle has been performed! I would certainly recommend this clinic to anyone else requiring treatment.  More...

I have just had laser surgery done by the Accuvision team this week. From start to finish I have recieved only proffessional treatment from all members of staff there. Please rely on my words when I say this company is very good at what they do!!! When I was reading a lot of positive reviews about this company I decided to take a chance and go for it and I am so glad that I did!!! Take it from me I have not worn my glasses since the procedure and I keep thinking I have left them somewhere and I am missing something..I was treated for short-sightedness so now everything I do in my daily life such as driving or watching the TV is very much clearer. When I left the clinic I could not help but n ...  More...

The team at Accuvision are amazing. They talk you through everything until you are happy with even the most trivial of questions you may have (in my case I was not laughed at for asking how long before my surgery I was allowed to have my eyelashes tinted - how vain! - its about 4 days in case you're interested!). They take the utmost care of you on the day, and my surgeon Chad Rostron is awesome. Their 24 hour number is at your disposal anytime you need reassurance. All in all, they were amazing, and I can now see the leaves on the trees, and even into people's houses!! It is a life changing experience, and I am glad I did it with the team at Accuvision.  More...

I went to Accuvision having been advised by another clinic that my corneas were too thin for normal Lasik and I wouuld need to wait for wavefront technology which they didn't have yet. A few months later I saw Accuvision advertising this technology and having spent ages on their website I decided to go for a consultation at Parsons Green. I was hugely impressed with the great care taken over this. The battery of tests I was put through lasted nearly 2 hours and the final result was that yesthe corneas were quite thin but they could treat my eyes. It was going to be expensive because of this tricky prescription (£1800 per eye!) but they were confident of a good result. I went aw ...  More...

I have been a contact lens/spectacles wearer for over 20 years and when I heard of laser surgery, I wondered how it would feel to live without glasses or lenses. Booked a consultation and I was very impressed with the overall assessment procedure. Vikash was very thorough in discussing my eyes, the actual procedure, what to expect pre and post operation and also in answering all my questions. I had to call the clinic twice for more information before I finally decided to go ahead with it. My operation involved undercorrecting one eye for reading and the other eye has perfect vision for distance, ie monovision. It is now almost 3 months since I had the operation and aside from having dry ...  More...

Prior to visiting Accuvision i had been turned down by every laser eye surgery the length and breadth of the country! This was due to my difficult prescription: -12 both eyes with +3 astigmatism and thin corneas. BLIND AS THE PREVERBIAL BAT! I had almost given up hope, and had even considered ICL's, however i was fortunate enough to hear of Accuvision through a friend of a friend. After a quick discussion on the phone Accuvision were confident that they could do something for me as they specialised in difficult cases such as mine. Even though i remained sceptical i booked for a consultation with a provisional booking for surgery the next day and a check-up appointment for the day after. ...  More...

I had my eyes lasered, using wavefront guided lasik at accuvision on 02/06/02, basically coming up 3 months ago, and little did I appreciate at that time, that that day would be the first day of the rest of my life - with the freedom that I had never had before in my life. for most people, being able to see clearly is something taken for granted, for me it was a gift, a miracle. I am 21, and had a -10 prescreiption in both eyes, to give u some idea, I had to hold a packet of cigarettes 2 inches from my face before i could read the "smoking kills" writing. worrying indeed. Accuvision were nothing but kind from start to finish, and are still surpassing themselves in the after treatment check ...  More...

Firstly, let me state that this comment is aimed at those people who have a relatively small prescription and feel that corrective surgery would be of little benefit to them. My eyesight prescription was -1.5 and -1.75. Although there are many people with larger prescriptions than mine, I still felt that my poor vision was a hinderence to my everyday life. The lack of fine detail with my vision meant I required glasses to drive, to go to the cinema, for lectures at university and for my ward based hospital work as a student physiotherapist. Since having corrective surgery in April 04, my vision has improved greatly. I have just had my 3-4 month check up and have emerged with 20/10 vision (or ...  More...

I had laser surgery on 10th May this year and my eyesight is still improving everyday. I experienced excellent service from consultation, through treatement and aftercare (thanks to Vic for being so patient!!) It has made a huge difference to my life, I just wish I had been able to have it done sooner. I can now fall asleep on the sofa without my contact lenses "sticking" to my eyes and can see my alarm clock in the morning so I will have to think of another reason for being late for work! The treatment itself was painless and over within minutes and after one nights sleep I had clear vision. I would recommend Accuvision to anyone - it has totally transformed my life  More...

They've changed my life! Made my dreams come true! Sounds corny but its TRUE! i've (sorry got to use past tense now!) i'd worn glasses since i was two years old, i'm mow 33 and am due to see a swimming pool for the first time in my life in ten days! my perscription WAS +7.25, i'd been searching for years for a clinic that could 'fix' my eyes. no one would treat me. 'very long sighted vision can't be corrected' that's all i heard. the last clinic i visited (recommended by a friend) said sorry we can't do anything for you but we know a clinic that possibly can! imagine my joy! so off i went to Fulham to the Acuvision clinic, had a few tests, noth ...  More...

+6.00 WITH 1.75 ASTIGMATISM After wearing glasses all my life I had given up all hope of being able to see without them. My prescription was so complex +6.00 in both eyes with high astigmatism, no other clinic could help. I read in the Daily Mail about a special case, the patient had + 8.00 prescription, and I was in awe of his story. I rang accuvision and was seen within days. From the very begining the care was superb. I was first introduced to Joan who did my initial test and confirmed that they could indeed help. A week later I had my treatment and could see immediatley, I had no pain or discomfort to worry about. As I am a bus driver I was advised to take a few day off work. I am no ...  More...

As a "Boots Reject" I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I first walked into Accuvision's clinic. I was gutted when the consultant at Boots told me, because of an irregular shaped pupil, they were unable to help me. He suggested that Accuvision may be able to help, but after the reaction i got from most of the staff there (lots of people coming to look at the lady with the funny eye!) I wasn't getting my hopes up! Boy, was I wrong! I explained to Vikash what the man at Boots had said and he took a very brief look at my eye and immediately said that it would not be a problem, I nearly kissed him! and here i am 48 hours post op, with 20/15 vision and only wishing I'd had this do ...  More...

Just the other day we were watching an interview on TV and instead of blurring out just the person's face to protect their identity, they blurred out the entire frame. I looked at my husband and said "That's how everything used to look for me without my glasses!". He couldn't believe it. He knew I had been nearsighted (-9L/-8.50R) but until then I'd never really been able to explain to him how the world had looked through my eyes. I used to joke that without my glasses I could only distinguish light, colour, shape and movement. Even reading a book without my glasses was a challenge if it was held more than about 6 or 7 inches from my face. I was 7 years old when it wa ...  More...

I have been wearing glasses for over 35 years, lenses for at least 15 years. I am a boots opticians patient/client. I have very high prescription, -13R and -10L ,including stigmatism.Thus this makes me a very difficult case. For the past five years or so, I have been reading about laser treatment, at the boots opticians in Edinburgh where I live. Again and again I was told my prescription could not be corrected by laser. I was disappointed. Then came the magic age 40, when vari-focals would be a difficult issue for me to come to terms with, given my high prescription. So I started hunting again this year in march, to see if any so called more advanced laser clinic could treat me. M ...  More...

I had my surgery at Accuvision on 17th May 2004, about two weeks after the consultant at Boots Laser Eye care said that I was not suitable for surgery due to the thickness of my corneas. When Boots calculated the remaining thickness as would be post op with them, it was 220 microns. The consultant also said in response to my questioning, that despite any future improvements in technology, I would never be a suitable candidate for Lasik laser eye surgery. I am delighted to say that I did not quit at this stage, but after further research visited Accuvision who were extremely helpful and professional in their approach. They demonstrated how they would be able to operate and leave 330 microns p ...  More...

My eyes were very bad, around -11 in both eyes and around -2 astigmatism in both eyes. Also, I have big pupils (over 7mm), so I was, what is termed, a difficult case. One laser treatment centre had advised me not to go ahead with treatment because of the possibility of bad nighttime glare. I then spotted Accuvision's advert and went for a consultation. Vikash was great, and boy did I give him a grilling! With my high prescription the furthest he could commit to was that he could eliminate my dependence on visual aid, but that I may be left with some correction needed. I had worn contact lenses since I was 15 (now 32), starting with soft for 11 years, then swapping to gas permeable ...  More...

I have just been assessed for surgery by Nick - he was very patient, explained everything very clearly and so far I am very impressed with Accuvision. I would love to hear from other patients who have a similar prescription to mine: about -5 in both eyes. Pupils just over 6mm. I would especially like to hear from anyone who has a high level of *irregular* astigmatism (coma). Please e mail me, whether you are pre or post surgery, I would love to hear your opinions/experiences.  More...

Will the Doctor recommend Wave Front Surgery and I did not even hesitate. Why? Simply; the best equipments, the best care “PRE & POST operation” and of course an excellent doctor. I know £2900 is expensive…but you know what, it worth every single penny.  More...

AccuVision has changed my life. With their knowledge,their care, their service,their state of the art equipment, making me be a part of "their" team and proving to me "seeing IS believing" Excellant results excellant staff and consultants, without a doubt! I HIGHLY recommend AccuVision as their advanced techniques allowed me to be able to see both distance and reading. "Mono vision" as it is called, done at the PERFECT balance, with state of the art percision, has given me COMPLETE freedom, even though I am 55 and all the other places could not correct both conditions, AccuVision has been able to do this.I will be eternally gratefull to them forever for releasing me from my glasses. When I ...  More...

From about the age of 13 things changed, and not for the better. Not only was I subjected to wear the most unflattering pair of NHS glasses available, but my distinctive over bite meant I had to wear a retainer......I cringe to think of it even now, what with being in the choir and extra curricular activites, I never came close to being popular. Because I was a dancer I was eventually introduced to wearing hard contact lenses, painful but apparently necessary as I was young and soft lenses could result in infections. About four years ago I accidently sat on my glasses and never bothered to find another pair. I was wearing my soft lenses every day, all day. I was constantly haunted by the ...  More...

I have always been very short sighted (-6.75)and wore hard lens for some 28 years. About 3 years the tolerance went and I moved to soft lens. Since August 2003 I had repeaed eye infections and at Christmas 2003 got to the stage where I knew I would have to wear glasses constantly. I went to my local Nuffield Hospital and saw a consultant who treated the recurrent eye-infections and discussed laser with me. He recommended Moorfield Eye Hospital and I rang them. I found them to be very unfriendly and unhelpful. At the same time a friend passed me an article on Accuvision so I rang them and found them to be fantastically helpful. Vik did my initial consultation and did not promise life fr ...  More...

Excellent after care, very knowledgeable and proffessional consultants, superb surgeon!  More...

I did masses of research prior to taking the plunge with Accuvision and taking on the surgery (March 25th). I can honestly say that I can't fault Accuvision, they are both higly professional whilst at the same time friendly and relaxed. You feel in remarkably safe hands. Ofcourse there are nerves and doubts and you should only do this surgery once you have come to terms with your own situation. Suffice to say that my vision in both eyes is now 20-15 and bordering on being even better- crazy really. If you're thinking about this surgery I strongly advise you to speak to Accuvision- consultancy is free so you have nowt to lose.  More...

Thank you Accuvision! seems inadequate. I contacted Accuvision after personal recommendation & research, as a different clinic I had previously attended left me with doubts. The whole team were brilliant, from the first consultation with Vic, surgery (mar'04),aftercare,they are professional & caring and I had 100% confidence. My sight BL was -6.5/7 with steep corneas. It's now 20/20 or better. I keep smiling and am enjoying the freedom.  More...

I can start by saying that, like a lot of other people that end up having their procedure at Accuvision, my eyesight was very poor. -8.5 with around a -3.0 astigmatism. Blind as a bat. After extensive research on the internet and in usergroups on the procedural options, the technology, the risks, the clinics and the surgeons and after three whole years of thinking about it, I finally booked an appointment for a consultation with Accuvision. I felt the consultation, which was mostly with Vik, was very professional, unrushed and very truthful - he started off by saying that being completely free of glasses or contact lenses may not be a realistic outcome. However, after the tests, which sho ...  More...

I am probably the most cynical person in the country but had been wanting to have my eyes lasered for some time but fear and not wanting to become a "guinea-pig" delayed me.I have only just had it done less than two weeks ago.I have experienced no pain whatsoever and hardly any inconvenience at all,in fact I am writing this text with no glasses for the first time in 30years.I was incredibly long sighted and found wearing spectacles a drag,not from vanity,butinconvenience,when it rained I couldn't see properly and they would steam up when I went indoors.I also used to suffer lots of headaches but I haven't had one since the treatment!Other companies would not or could not help my very ...  More...

I decided to have my eye op done with Accuvision after did my research about them and reading their excellent reviews online. Came to Accuvision for a consultation on March 18, 2004 and my op was on the following week, March 25. Nick Jacobs is a very friendly surgeon and everybody at Accuvision are great and helpful towards me that time. They made me feel relax during the operation and tobe honest the op was painless that time. I could say, you would feel more pain going to the dentist (to have a polish or fill) than having your lasik eyes done . Few days after the surgery, my vision was fluctuating and hazy a bit.This was normal as it would improve in the next couple days. One week after ...  More...

I am an Optometrist who has worn contact lenses for 29 years. Having reviewed LASIK at most of the clinics, there was no doubt in my mind from a professional and personal opinion where I should have surgery. I had expectations of only being able to see as well as I did in contact lenses, this has been surpassed. It was painless and the sequence of events mirroed what all members of staff spoke about. My patients who enquire about LASIK will be referred in only one direction.  More...

I have worn glasses since the age of 7 - 17 and contact lenses for the last 12 years and have been wanting my eyes "done" for as long as I care to remember. I was told about wavefront by my optician and that it could treat lower prescriptions and astigmatism etc... This is how I came across Accuvision. I had 3 consultations before my surgery last July and I have gone from -9 / -9.75 with astigmatism to 20/20. It is the most amazing thing I have ever been through (even childbirth - and I'm about to do that again!!!) NO PAIN, NO DISCOMFORT, I was done on a Monday and back at work and driving on the Thursday. It did take a few months for the night vision to settle but at my 6 month ch ...  More...

Op Date: 26th Feb 2004, Wavefront, £2900 total. Now almost 2 weeks since my operation and I could not be happier. The pre and post op staff are excellent, always explaining everything well and ensuring I was happy with the process. Service on the day was more brisk, but I appreciated that as I didn't want to mess around. Some people may have expected more preparation on the day but I suspect that the team knew how I wanted to be treated and would take more time with some other patients. The procedure was completely painless but at the same time was one of the horrific experiences of my life. I hate things touching my eyes so maybe it was worse for me but the array of clamps, tools ...  More...

Operation Date 16/2/04. I had an op booked with Maxivision through Optical Express but became increasingly concerned about the ability of the surgeons there to carry out the op. Their continuous backtracking and uncertainty led me to cancel the procedure. I then contacted Accuvision to whom I explained the situation and also that I had already booked time away from work for this operation. They promptly booked me in for a consultation at which my suitability for surgery was confirmed. My left eye already had better than 6/5 vision but my right eye was an unaided 6/21 and at best corrected 6/7.5-2 with a prescription of +3.25 increasing to +6.25 with the eye relaxant drops inserted. I am ...  More...

13 months post-op - having purposely left my comments until now I can honestly say that I am ecsatic with the results. My vision was -3.00 in one eye and -3.25 in the other. I chose the monovision option so that I can put off needing reading glasses for as long as possible. I am 39. I now have 20 - 20 vision, my night vision is perfectly fine and I wake up every morning so thankful that I can see clearly out of the window without having to put on specs. I can only suggest to anyone considering surgery that they don't let money be an issue, do as much research as poss to know what the procedure actually does, listen very carefully to what you're advised is a realistic outcome at ...  More...

15 months post-op - I keep meaning to post comments on this site because I remember when I was investigating the surgery that I found it very frustrating that hardly anyone posts comments after a year or more after their surgery. The reason I haven't done yet is that my vision is so good that I forget about all the frustrations I used to have with glasses and contact lenses. For a brief history of my prescription and operation see my posting of 27th Nov 2002 on page 10. Suffice it to say, I had very bad eyesight. I now have 20/20 vision using both eyes in good conditions. Night vision is fine. I notice a difference when I am very tired and in low light, but much better than i ...  More...

I had Lasik at Accuvision in January 2003, with a relatively high prescription of -6.75R and -5.25L. I had previously been to Boots who turned me down due to my high prescription and corneal thickness. I had seen on this web site the claim that Accuvision could treat people turned down by other clinics so I contacted them and was informed that they would be able to treat my prescription. Due to my age, I was advised to have monovision (one eye slightly under-corrected) which would enable me to continue to read without the need for glasses as it seemed silly to replace one pair of glasses with another. Accuvision were extremely professional throughout. Everything was fully explained ...  More...

I am 58 years old and have worn glasses since the age of seven. For the last 20 years I have worn soft contact lenses. Previous enquiries about corrective surgery had always resulted in disappointment, as my sight was too poor for the technology available. In December 2003 I had a consultation at Ultralase. Although they were unable to offer me treatment they did refer me to Accuvision, for which I will always be grateful to Jay. I had a consultation with Accuvision on 13th January and was stunned to be told I was suitable for surgery. My vision was -11, right eye and -9, left eye, with a high degree of astigmatism. In addition I had thin corneas. The whole process was very clearly ex ...  More...

I had PRK surgery on both eyes in 1993, and went from -7 / -7 to 20/20 vision following the procedure. Over the following 6 months, as the course of steroid eyedrops was reduced, my vision regressed to -6/-3. A repeat PRK surgery to my right eye in 1995 resulted in the same regression. I underwent Lasik surgery at Accuvsion on September 25, 2003. It is now almost 5 months since the Lasik procedure, and my vision is excellent. My prescription was -6 in the left eye and -2.5 in the right eye. I now have 20/15 vision, though I have a slight astigmatism and I would benefit from glasses if watching a cricket match or night driving. My night vision is not brilliant, but that was also the case pre- ...  More...

I first had a consultation at Acuvision in September 2003, following the very successful treatment of my cousin's and aunt's eyesight using Lasik. I am 22 and have been short sighted for 10 years, my vision being stable at a level of -6 and -6.5 in the right and left eyes respectively. At my initial consultation I was told that I had a steepening of the cornea towards the bottom of the iris area and was asked to return for a second consultation in a few months to distinguish whether the steepening was stable or progressive. I returned in January 2004 and was delighted to discover that the steepening was considerably milder that origanlly thought; as I have very watery eyes, the tears were di ...  More...

On Thursday 5th february, I had eye surgery at the above clinic having been turned down twice in the past two years by Ultrlase as my corneas were too thin. Following my first consultation with Accuvision they completely reassured me that this would not be a problem for them using the technology available. Three days after my surgery I sit here with perfect vision having been minis 10 in my right eye and minus 8 in my left. The whole procedure took a matter of minutes and was completely painless. My only regret is not having found Accuvision years ago.  More...

Thursday 29th January was D day for me, at 3.30pm I was +7.75 / -2.50 x180 right eye and +8.00 / -2.50 x 180 left eye, by 4.00 pm I could read the time on Daryus' watch. The procedure was painless and very fast, I got off the table and made my way to the waiting room with my eyes firmly shut, each time I opened them they streamed with tears but weren't too uncomfortable. Fifteen minutes later Mike came out and got me a coffee and administered the eye drops. I left the practice approx 20 minutes later. The irritation in my eyes passed within 3 hours and then felt as right as rain, I watched some telly and feel asleep at 10.30 pm that evening. Next morning woke at 5.50 am and felt g ...  More...

I had wavefront Lasik at Accuvision on the 4th of December 2003... now, a month on, I can hardly remember ever needing glasses! I had a particularly difficult set of eyes - high astigmatism, thin corneas and large pupils - you name it, I had it! The operation itself was painless but scary. Thankfully, the nice nurse held my hand. Everyone did everything they could to help me relax and it was over before I knew it. The following four hours were uncomfortable, and I slept through most of them - waking up hourly to put my drops in. I woke up the next morning and could see the clock on GMTV!!
