This was one of my better decisions.

I have worn glasses since I was 9 - and Accuvue Daily contact lenses when I was older - and have considered laser eye correction for over a decade, but decided all those years ago that the technology was not yet mature enough. I started reconsidering in January this year and after a few weeks of research chose Accuvision in Fulham for an initial consultation. There was no hard sell at any stage, my questions were answered fully and I was just very impressed by the team there.

On 18 April I had Wavefront Lasik on both eyes, with mono vision to correct for both reading and long distance sight. It cost £850 per eye - excellent value I think. I was careful to follow the instructions I was given and over the next few days my sight became as good as it was before I had the surgery, and over the past few weeks some slight residual haziness has cleared. I knew to expect the gradual improvement so there have been no unpleasant surprises at all - that is simply because the team at Accuvision told me what to expect.

The only thing I took several weeks to get used to was lying down last thing at night and being able to see the ceiling clearly - I kept wanting to take my lenses out!

The mono vision option might sound too good to be true. But it IS good, and it IS true! I suppose some people might find it difficult to get used to, but I was enthusiastic about it from the start and being able to read a menu in a dark restaurant and having excellent distance sight as well is incredible!!

I am due to go back in a few days' time for my 6 week check-up. At my 10 day check-up my sight was verging on 20/20 so with the haziness gone I would expect to have 20/20 or better.

The icing on the cake is that I have worked out the laser procedure will pay for itself in about 3 years - because those Accuvue lenses were a bit expensive.

So, a big thank you to everyone at Accuvision in Fulham! I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering laser eye correction.
