    Having attended consultations at three different clinics, Accuvision were the obvious choice for the following reasons: 1) The consultation with Vik was by far the most thorough. Vik was extremely knowledgeable and also the most forthcoming about possible outcomes and potential risks. 2) I was convinced that the Accuwave technology offered the best solution for me especially as this customised wavefront treatment offered the best outcome in terms of night vision complications. I was also strongly comforted that the Allegreto laser would remove less of my cornea than many other widely available lasers. 3) I got a genuine feeling that both Vik and Daryus had a very strong belief that they were offering the best LASIK solution, and an equally strong desire to ensure the best possible outcome. 4) They had the best looking clinic. (Not a major factor, but it helps.) So, two days ago I had the surgery at Accuvision. It was quicker than going to the opticians for an eye test. (Well, almost - with the length of time you have to wait at some opticians!!) Surgery went very smoothly - Daryus and William Ayliffe (Surgeon) appeared supremely confident and nothing happened to give me any reason to doubt them. I had a few problems focussing on the green light with my right eye, but the left was no problem. The one area I was concerned about - the placing of the suction ring prior to cutting the flap - was a little uncomfortable but certainly no pain. Post-surgery I was advised things had gone well, and sent home with a protective bandage contact lens in each eye. Things were a little uncomfortable for the next few hours - eyes kept shut most of the time. Thereafter, it was just the bandage contact lens in my left eye that was irritating the hell out of me. Returned for my 24hr check-up the next day, and was mighty relieved to have that lens removed. Instant relief was followed by swift improvement in vision. Virtually 20/20 at 24 hours post-op. I am now 50 hours post-op and the eyes are feeling increasingly comfortable. i.e. they are losing the gritty feeling. My vision is already better than it was with my contact lenses before the op. There are moments of vision quality fluctuation, but that is to be expected for the next couple of weeks. This board was very helpful in reassuring me that Accuvision was a good choice, my thanks to all those who posted here, I am pleased to add my name to the list of satisfied Accuvision customers and thank Daryus and his team for an excellent result.
