I had my LASIK at Accuvision on 4th December. I was around a +3.75, +3.75 prescription in both eyes, i.e. quite longsighted with what the surgeon described as a 'wow, monster stigmatism'.

Accuvision were more expensive than the other company (Ultralase) who said they could treat me, but seemed more confident and professional, so I went with them.

The surgery was very quick and painless, and I didn't really suffer much discomfort afterwards either. I spent the whole afternoon in bed with my eyes closed.

45 minutes after the treatment, I was up to driving test standards, and the next day I was nearly 20/20. Since then, my right eye has fluctuated quite a lot, which has worried me, but Vic assured me that this was quite normal for the first week or two. In fact, when I went in for an unscheduled appointment as I was a bit worried, my right eye still tested only one line short of 20/20.

The flares at night are still pretty big, but manageable, and should die down over the next few weeks.

I will post another message in a couple of weeks to give a progress report.

All in all, I am very happy with the result so far. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend Accuvision strongly.

On a related note, I encourage anyone who has had surgery to post on this site as it was very important to me in the run up to my surgery to see the updates that people left.
