After months of research and pondering I decided to take treatment. Having been an optical express customer for the last five years, my first consultation was with them. They recommended that I am suitable for LASIK and was quoted £3000 for both eyes. My prescription was -3.75 and -4. I had read on their brochure that those that due contact sports or for armed forces that LASEK would be the preferred treatment due to the flap. I then sought a second opinion from accuvision who quoted me £1900 for LASEK due to my sporting preferences. I finally had a consultation with Optimax who recommended LASEK at a cost of £2400.
I decided to opt for Accuvision as the reviews Id read were exceptional. My treatment was on March 14th and the procedure was painless, however the post 24 hours were excruciating. I decided not to use the anaesthetic drops as I was advised that usage would slow recovery process.
My eyes healed very quickly but were not 20;20 immediately. I was prepared as I knew that it would take 3-5 days for the cornea to fully recover. Over the next week my eyesight began improving dramatically and now 6 weeks on is 20;20.
The treatment and after-care at Accuvision was exceptional. Absolutely Fantastic. Any time I was concerned, I called the clinic and spoke to professionals who advised me accordingly.
I would STRONGLY recommend this clinic to anyone wanting to undergo eye surgery.
