I went for consultations with a three different clinics including Accuvision at the end of last year, of the three I was in no doubt that the right choice for myself was Accuvision. As most of reviews on this site have stated previously the staff are very professional and knowledge as well as very nice people.

With the help of the consultants I decided the Wavefront Guided treatment was the right choice for me. I had read up on the benefits of wavefront treatment before attending the consultation as well as contacting previous patients of Accuvision to ask them of their experiences.

I made a booking for the beginning of January. My prescription pre-op was -8 in the right eye and -7.25 with astigmatism in the left. I am now nearly 7 weeks post op, and the vision in both eyes is better than 20/20 in fact in both eyes the vision is better than when I wore glasses and as a bonus my vision at night is much better.

Due to my high prescription one of the main reasons for choosing Accuvision (other than the wavefront treatment) was that Accuvision create a much thinner corneal flap. Most clinics create a flap around 160 microns but Accuvision customise the treatment for the individual and the flap they created for my treatment was 110 microns, corneal thickness post treatment is extremely important. The higher you prescription the more corne is removed to correct your vision. Most clinics will tell you that as long as you have around 250 microns left (not including the flap) you should be safe. However before deciding to undergo the treatment I did a lot of research into the issues that can occur after lasik treatment one of the main concerns is that 250 microns is the minimum that most people believe should be left post op. Accuvision belive the minimum amount should be 300 microns, and as they tend to create a smaller flap they are more likley to achieve this.

The consultants set a very clear expectation of what to expect during the op and the hours, days, weeks and months post op. My eyes felt very gritty for the first few days. I didn’t really experience dry eyes maybe just slightly for around 3-4 days.
For the first 2-3 weeks at night or early morning, lights were very bright and I experienced starbursts and halos. But after the first few weeks this has gone away. I would say that now I don’t have any problems seeing at night, driving at night is no problem at all.

For myself personally I have had a very good experience having entrusted Accuvision to carry out the lasik treatment. For anyone who is considering lasik I would highly recommend that you at the very least have a consultation with Accuvision.
