I had laser correction surgery on Friday 5th April, just yesterday and I am sitting here typing this without my glasses or contacts - utter freedom! I found Accuvision to be a remarkable bunch of people, extremely thourough and informative, and best of all - no pressure! The consultation was very indepth and showed me everything in detail, in order to help me make up my mind if I really wanted to go through with it. I was a good candidate for surgery and I was really fed up with having to wear glasses or contacts after 20 years or so. I made up my mind to have the surgery and here I am - free! The consultant and the surgeon went through everything again thouroughly just before surgery which left me with no doubt that I was doing the right thing. The actual procedure was painless, although the feeling as they applied pressure to the eye to get the flap open, was a little weird. However, it was also no more than five minutes on each eye. I could not believe that I had done it. I hate anything to do with surgery and was, to say the east, very nervous indeed. However the staff again were so brilliant in their assurances and their courtiousness that I got through it with absolutely no trauma! After five minutes with my eyes closed and 30 minutes after the surgery I was travelling back home on the train with my wife with no problem. The aneasthetic started to wear off in about 2 hours and there was a feeling that I had sand in my eyes. The drops helped to sooth this and within 6 hours, it was quite comfortable. I slept like a baby last night, after all the tension, and woke up refreshed this morning to remove the eye protectors and there it was - I could see well, without my glasses or contacts. My vision is a little blurred around the edges as I write but its getting better as each hour passes. I am assured that it will clear completely within the next few weeks. This morning I threw out all my contacts and all that goes with them. It is s liberating feeling. I do alot of outdoor activities such as sailing and this is going to make a HUGE difference to the quality of my life. I cannot praise the Accuvision staff to highly, from the receptionaist to the surgeon. After much research before mking the decision, I also decided that whilst they are probably a little more expensive than the average, that they do have the latest and best technology and after all- it is MY eyes. I have no hesitation in recommending Accuvision to anyone who is considering have laser eye surgery. I look foward to a visual aids-free life from now on - the only one regret - I didn't do it years ago!
