If you're thinking about laser surgery then I can certainly recommend Accuvision.

I'd worn contact lenses for 35 years to correct my short sight (-4.0 and -4.5). Now in my early fifties I was also needing to use glasses for reading and pc work.

I went along for my free consultation with high hopes that I would be a suitable candidate. Had a very thorough examination by Vik, who also told me about possible risks and realistic expectations and outcomes. Mono-vision seemed to be a feasible option for me which would enable me to dispense with lenses and glasses with my left (dominant) eye being corrected for long sight and my right eye slightly under-corrected for near site. I was planning to go ahead there and then, however, Vik explained that because I had worn contact lenses for many years it had distorted the shape of my left cornea and suggested that I wait a further month in order to allow the cornea to relax....a bit of a pain as I was then left with the prospect of only wearing my reading glasses for a further month (no lenses)...but it was well worth the wait!

So it's now just under two weeks since the surgery (performed by Chad Rostron) and I am delighted with the result. My eyesight both near and far is better than I can remember even with my contact lenses. The surgery really does not hurt (honestly!!), it's an intense few seconds but all over before you know it. On the evening of the surgery my eyes were comfortable, no pain or irritation and my sight was really good.....and it has improved further since and I've had no problems getting used to provisional.

I've been for two post surgery checks now with Joan and all appears to be healing well and in line with their expectations. Left eye is already 20/20 vision. The after-care is great and nothing is too much trouble.

Exceptional service - thank you to all the team!
