I had my surgery on 11/07/09. I had been wearing glasses for over 20 years for astigmatism - prescription: Right eye cylinder -4.25 axis 8.0. Left eye - cylinder -4.25 axis 175. I had also had to wear varifocals because reading had becoming difficult
The consultation was easy and the staff were very helpful but most importantly there was no pressure selling unlike other companies. I was told that I could also have 'monovision' that meant that I would not need to wear reading glasses. The total cost was £2300.
The surgery - this was uncomfortable rather than painful and the whole process lasted no more than a couple of minutes for each eye. The worst part for me was having to wear clear contact lenses for 24 hrs as I had never worn lenses before.
Post surgery - I had to go back to work on 13/07/09 - we had an Ofsted inspection on the 14/07/09! My eyes were sore and distance vision was not brilliant but your vision fluctuates anyway. They had warned me about this. I returned after a week for my check up and my distance vision was 20/20 and I could read smallest print on the test sheet easily. I still have slight fluctuations with my sight but this is becoming less and less - just as Accuvision said that it would.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Accuvision. Just go for it - brilliant.
