My husband and I had our eye surgery about 9 weeks ago, and I think it's time to consider the results.

My husband (with a real strong prescription, -11 / -9, that means blind as a mole and not allowed to wear contact lenses any more) and I (-3.5 and -1.5) had been interested in eye treatment for many years, but we had the feeling that eye treatment in Germany is not as common as in other countries. If somebody talked e. g. on TV about it, in most cases it was quite a negative report showing the risks, side effects etc. So we were very hesitant.

Nevertheless, two years ago my husband went to a prestigious ophthalmologist in Germany for a first consultation. He was told that his eyes could be treated by lasik, but a dioptre of about -2 would still remain. Continuing to wear glasses after eye surgery was not the result my husband wanted to have. So we again postponed the project “eye treatment”.

As fate would have it, my husband's brother has been working in the lasik business for a few years. Travelling around the world, he has got access to specialists around the world, with a lot of experience, best staff and equipped with the best technology, etc., and so, fortunately, he got to know about Accuvision.
He had his own eye surgery there last year and he was so enthusiastic and happy about the result, that he convinced us, in many and detailed discussions, to take a trip to London.

Our flight was very early on March 17 and, a little bit tired, we arrived at the clinic at around 11 am. We got a warm welcome, and after some relaxing minutes and cups of coffee we both were called for parallel consultations. The consultations were very thorough and everything was explained to us in great detail. The outcome of the consultation was that we met all requirements for lasik surgery with optimal results. What a surprise for my husband, who hadn't expected that!

As we felt ourselves to be in the best of hands at Accuvision we didn't hesitate, and decided to undergo the treatment the same day. My husband went first. He was very nervous when going to the operating theatre, but when he came back after about 15 minutes he was all smiles and said that it was completely painless and there was no need to worry. My turn came later in the afternoon. The whole procedure also took no more than 15 minutes - I found it a little bit uncomfortable, but painless.

During the evening vision was a little bit blurred, but the next morning the “aha” experience came when we woke up. We could see details in the room and in the gardens outsight of the hotel very clearly without glasses. The consultation on that morning at Accuvision was again very thorough and professional, and we were pronounced with 20/20 vision. What a touching moment! We enjoyed the next two days in London very much with sightseeing tours, a musical and so on. Without glasses!!
After some ups and downs in the next two weeks (which were predicted by Accuvision) we now have constant perfect vision. We still have moments when we can't believe that those 15 minutes changed our lives so positively. It was the best of decisions to have our eyes treated, and to have had the surgery done by Accuvision.

The friendly Accuvision team does such an excellent job that, with a clear conscience, we can advise everybody who is interested in having eye treatment by lasik to get in touch with them.
