    • Wavefront Optimized LASIK
    I am 32 years old and have been using contact lenses on and off since I was 18, and had already developed repeated eye infections caused by using lenses too much. The private Doctor I saw for the infections suggested to consider laser treatment since he knew I didn't like wearing glasses and I started to study clinics on the internet. I found Accuvision convincing and asked my Doctor for his opinion on my choice. He said it is a reputable clinic and asked me for the price they had offered me and said that also the price was in place. Now I felt confident to make my appointment for the surgery!

    Everyone at Accuvision was very caring since the first visit and I felt that I was being explained about the choices well. My biggest fear was my repeated infections and I was making sure that the optometrist and surgeon knew about this in case that I would be in risk of infection post-op. They considered Trans Epithelial laser treatment because of my infections but then came back to me and said Wavefront Optimized LASIK would be fine, and so it was!

    It is now 3 weeks after my surgery and I feel completely happy about everything!!! At the day of operation I just tried to think that this is a voluntary small operation that takes just a few minutes and that I have decided to do in order to see without glasses and that there really isn't anything to be worried about. Accuvisions Lifetime Care Commitment also made me feel that everything will be taken care of.

    In the actual surgery I was talked trough the whole procedure and that really helped me to feel secure, and when the second eye was operated a nurse called Jane held my hand since it was a bit more unnerving (THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH) and the taking me trough the process all over again kept me quite calm trough the whole operation, and after just a few minutes in the operation room I could sit up and was amazed that I could see clearly all ready! I was all smiles after that, and happy to have a loved one with me to the surgery, since it felt very good to share the experience trough out the day with somebody and to just be amazed together about how well I could see:)

    About ten minutes after the operation I was being examined again and confirmed that all had gone well. Also at my one day and one week post-op checks everything was fine, just some dryness of the eyes that I feel is now starting to settle and I just use about 6 drops per eye a day and normally when I wake up in the morning there isn't any discharge anymore!

    I would like to thank everyone at Accuvision for taking so good care of me, both the optometrists (Jane who first examined me remembered my particular needs all the time even though it took me a while to decide to go trough with the surgery) and Neeha at the reception was also very understanding and caring all the time. And in the surgery I appriciated the talking me trough everything very very much, and of course holding my hand too, thank you all ever so much, I am grateful that you did such a fantastic job on my eyes! Having perfect vision is such a miracle, THANK YOU!!!
