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 away to think about it for a couple of months and to make sure it could be afforded and then made the decision to go ahead. There was no pressure from Accuvision at any stage and they were quite comfortable with a number of extra questions from me at various times.

MY wife came with me on surgery day and the whole procedure went exactly as described. Slightly uncomfortable perhaps but not actually painful. Very quick and carried out by people who made me relax simply by their professionalism and easy friendship.

Keeping your eyes closed whilst being driven across London on the way home was not something I would recommend to anyone and at that stage I felt quite car-sick. My suggestion would be to have the surgery in the morning and then go to a local hotel so that you can be reasonably refreshed for the next visit 24 hours later.

My experience was exactly as suggested in the literature. Vision was substantially improved after 4 hours and really good after 24 hours.

Now, some 5 months since the treatment I am just absolutely delighted at the results. I occasionally need reading glasses for close-up work but only indoors....if I am outside, natural daylight means no glasses needed. My latest test at Accuvision showed better than 20/20 vision.

THe staff at Accuvision were quite superb. My first consultation was with Joan and her blend of professionalism and Irish friendliness was just what I needed in the way of reassurance....I probably would have chickened out at some point but for the trust that she engendered.

Incidentally she had had the surgery herself and was a great example.

Ten out of ten Accuvision and thank you! I don't think the process could have been done better in any way!
