Hello. I had laser treatment at Accuvision yesterday (25th July) at 4pm..so the experience is still very fresh. My prescription was left eye - 10, right eye - 7.25, with an astigmatism of 165 in the left eye. As I was travelling from Somerset, I booked the consultation and treatment for the same day, and didn't know if I would be suitable or not for the procedure until my appointment..

At the end of the consultation I was advised that because of my unusually thin cornea (490), a 'perfect' outcome could not be achieved, and asked if I was content to undergo the treatment with the understanding that I would still need glasses or lenses for certain activivities. I had already decided that I would want to proceed, and settle for a significant improvment in vision, so I said yes. There was absolutely no pressure and in fact alternative treatments were discussed openly.

A little over 24hrs later, my vision is remarkably improved, particularly distance vision. Near vision is still rather filmy, but I'm typing this with no problem. My consultant explained that the surgeon was able to cut a very thin flap, so that there was more available tissue to laser, and therefore a better outcome was likely.

I was extremely impressed with the staff at Accuvision - a combination of professionalism, integrity and compassion. There was no hard sell at all, and evidently a genuine concern for the patient's wellbeing is to the fore..

The op itself was rather uncomfortable and a very strange 10 minutes, but painless and over very quickly..

So far, so good..even at this very early stage I'm delighted with the transformation in my vision..
