After being a contact lens and spectacle wearer for 29 years, I decided it was time to look into laser eye surgery. The final push came when my optician advised me to wear varifocal glasses, which would mean wearing larger frames, which were very unflattering to my face. After weeks of research, I had a 2 hour consultation at Accuvision, Fulham and was told that I was an ideal candidate for laser surgery. I was literally over the moon, but also a little anxious. As I am fifty years old and took my glasses of to read or wore reading glasses over contact lenses for short-sightedness and the other (left) was corrected for reading. I had surgery on the 8th December and felt very little discomfort during the procedure, I did feel very anxious and my legs wouldn't stop shaking (it was a very cold day and my mind was playing tricks) the nurse assigned to me was very comforting and held my hand throughout the operation. The only discomfort I felt after surgery was a stinging, as though I had peeled a couple of pounds of strong onions, this lasted for about 11/2 hours. At that stage I couldn't believe what I could see, through streaming eyes I could see the England Rugby team on TV. It has been three weeks since my surgery and I am totally overjoyed with my eye-sight, I am in my second year of a teaching degree and use the computer/internet regularly, I can now differentiate between a full stop and a comma, which I couldn't do before with or without glasses/contact lenses. The whole team at Accuvision were very professional and supportive, they took time to discuss any fears or anxiety I experienced before, during or after surgery, and if I experience any problems now all I have to do is ring and I can speak to someone first hand (not an answer phone) any time of day. I give the whole team at Accuvision a first class grading of 5 and a big THANK YOU! By the way my cheque didn't clear until a week after surgery, but they didn't make a big deal about it. I feel I chose the best after a lot of research and fully recommend Accuvision. If anyone wants to ask any questions about my procedure, feel free to e-mail me.
