    Having laser eye surgery on my eyes was something that felt inevitable to me at some point in my life. After having completed my degree at uni in May this year, I felt I had to take the opportunity and start looking for a clinic. I read lots of forums online and everywhere Accuvision came on top in terms of price, technology and best surgeons. What I personally like about Accuvision is that there are only 3 clinics in the country, therefore there are only a handful of surgeons carrying out all the surgeries. So very experienced.

    I had my consultation with Mrs ??? Griffiths at the Fulham branch. She was very nice and professional, with a constant smile on her face. My sight was not too bad at -3.00 and -3.75 and I was given a quote of £1900. Following this I was given a handout with the 2 surgeons CVs which was very reassuring, being able to read about their careers and I opted for Chad Roston who is the most experienced (although both were more than good enough).

    I was worried about sideffects as my pupils are slightly bigger than normal but the operation went really well, less than 10 minutes, having said that it was probably the longest 10 minutes of my life. It was not painful at all, only uncomfortable and slightly irritating at times as you feel the need to blink but can't. The following 24 hours were a drag, I tried to keep my eyes shut as much as possible. Check up next day and my sight was not 100% perfect but spot on target. The next few days, I suffered from blurriness on my left eye which is absolutely normal. That went away within the next 48 hours and my sight has been better than 100% since. It feels amazing, as if I've never had weak eyes.

    The only critique I have is one of the receptionist is impatient and slightly rude. I'm a very easygoing person but felt even with the few questions I had on the phone, she was very short coming and definitely lacked a smile in her voice. I understand she has to answer the same questions day in day out but it is a big deal for us who are having the operation so absolutely necessary. Furthermore, I booked my operation just over a week before the actual day however I didn't receive my information pack until 2 days before the day of the surgery.But for the things that really matter including the ophthalmologists, surgeons, technology and price they get a 5 from me as they ticked every box. I would definitely recommend this clinic. In fact my sister is the next one to get her eyes done and she's going for Accuvision too.
