I have recently had my one year follow-up appointment at Accuvision having been treated in April 2004 and they have been fantastic from my initial consultation through surgery and follow-up appointments. I had -7 prescription in one eye and slightly higher in the other, both with astigmatism and larger-than-average pupils - now I have 20/20 vision. I never thought this would be possible! Having started wearing glasses aged 5 and having had several unsuccessful and uncomfortable attempts at wearing contact lenses in my teens and twenties I never thought I'd be free of glasses.

I had looked into laser surgery in the early 90s and been told my prescription was too high and that basically I would never be treatable. When I went to have a consultation with Accuvision (aged 37) I had prepared myself for a 'No' to avoid disappointment. The consultation was very thorough and I was delighted (and amazed!) when told I was treatable.

Everything was very clearly explained, and I was reassured at how thorough the post-operative care sounded with several regular check-ups following the procedure.

Because everything was so carefully explained (and also because I found the comments on this website very helpful and reassuring) on the day of surgery I felt fairly relaxed. I had Wavefront Lasik and it was quick and painless. I took it easy for the next few days and made sure I didn't rub my eyes. I was delighted and amazed with the results - I never thought it would be possible. Without my glasses previously I wouldn't have been able to read the top letter of an optician's chart - now I can read the bottom line!

Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision - their care and treatment is fantastic - I'm so glad I came to see you!
