Had consultation with Nick at Solihull on Mon 8th Aug, was so impressed that I booked surgery for Wed 10th. My prescription was -6.00 and -5.75, extremely short sighted. I basically chose Accuvision because Ultralase and Optimax I didn't find very friendly on the phone but Accuvision were totally different, nothing is too much trouble. Was very nervous on the day (I have been known to faint at a check-up at the dentist!)I pleaded with my husband to take me home, I even convinced myself I liked my glasses, but luckily he stuck to his guns and made me stay! At that point I was called in and became very calm really, I think because they are so friendly at Accuvision it really does put you at ease. I lay back and prepared myself for a horrendous experience of eyeballs being squeezed and stinging and all sorts of uncomfortable things BUT my goodness me it was almost a pleasant experience (well nearly!) really you do not feel anything, just lots of flashing lights and a slight smell of burning which for me was probably the worst bit, I actually think that a visit to the dental hygienist is a worse experience. The operation was extremely successful, a week on and my vision is as good as with my contact lenses, although Nick has told me that it will get even better as time goes on, which I know it will because it has got better and better over the past week. It is a fantastic feeling not having to rely on glasses and lenses and for anyone out there who is thinking of having it done go ahead and do it the whole thing takes a few seconds, and for me it has certainly enhanced my life. I cannot thank Accuvision enough and would most certainly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of having laser eye treatment.
