I have worn glasses/contact lenses for the past twenty years and without them I was fairly restricted, my eyesight was nearly minus six in both eyes and therefore I was completely reliant on my glasses if I wasn’t wearing my contacts. My choice to have the procedure done came from my wanting to play more sports/swim and not have tried eyes at the end of the day from wearing contacts.

Having decided to do some research on companies I chose Accuvision. Other companies seemed too busy to even discuss booking the consultation let alone having a conversation with me. This gave me doubt; if their customer service skills were poor what are their surgical procedures like?

I looked into finding out as much as possible about the surgery before the consultation with Nick in Solihull. He answered all my many, many questions and allowed my husband to be there to help me remember everything, giving me the chance to fully discuss it at home before deciding.

I had the LASIK surgery on the 4th Oct with Brett and I am so pleased, the whole procedure was quick, comfortable and painless. Although it was the strangest thing I have ever experienced Brett made me feel calm, reassuring me throughout. After resting my eyes for twenty minutes when finished I opened them to realise I could see. As expected it was a little blurry I wasn’t in any pain and given instructions to go home and rest until my check-up the following day.

I returned the next morning for Nick to tell me I had 20/20 vision and over the next few weeks it would get clearer and better. I went back yesterday for my weekly check-up and again Nick was pleased with the results and my eyes have healed very well. Nick asked if I had had any problems over the week and I mentioned I had felt sick for a couple of days and he explained it was due to my eyes readjusting to my new sight and causing a similar effect to travel sickness. That has gone now. My eyes are also sensitive to bright light but naturally that is due being able to see everything quite clearly and my glasses/contacts use to absorb some of the light. Also my vision goes through stages of being a little blurred, but my eye drops help. I expected this as I was informed beforehand. None of the issues bother me at all; just thought I’d keep them informed.

I still have to attend a couple of regular check-ups to ensure everything is fine. For me personally it is the best thing I have every done. I am so impressed with the service, information given, the painless surgery and of course my 20/20 vision. What a fantastic result. Thank you so much.
