I had worn glasses from the age of 8 and my prescription before the surgery was -5 and -6. I couldn't function without my glasses or contact lenses. I had considered laser eye surgery over the years but the prospect of messing with my eyes was daunting - better short sighted than blind - right? Two family members had successful surgery at the Solihull Accuvision. Hearing about their amazing results gave me the push to make an appointment to find out more.
I walked into the initial consultation feeling very apprehensive but right from the start I was put at ease. There was no sales pressure, just facts. I made the decision to go ahead as soon as I left the consultation.
On the day itself, the calm, efficient atmosphere put me completely at ease. The staff gave me every confidence, being both reassuring and efficient. The surgery took 10 minutes, was pain free and just so easy. As soon as I sat up from the surgery I could see an improvement in my vision, and as the hours went by I continued to see an improvement. After 24 hours my vision was near 20:20 and at the 4 week check it was better than 20:20.
Two months on I can honestly say the surgery has been life changing, worth every penny - and the price really isn't that high, especially when you consider the cost over the years of contact lenses, and glasses with the cost of thin lenses for high prescriptions, not to mention cleaning solutions, prescription sunglasses, eye tests etc.
Make an appointment today. You won't regret the amazing feeling that comes with being able to see when you open your eyes each morning!
