I had Accuwave Lasik treatment at Accuvision on 19th March 2003, pre-op my eyes were +4.50 right/+5.5 left eye, and opted for a monovision result as I did not wish to wear glasses even for reading! Despite being told of the greater risks, etc., I decided to go ahead and I am very pleased I did! The operation itself was painless and not nearly as traumatic and frightening as I envisioned, the supporting staff and surgeons were very helpful and considerate. Afterwards my vision was slightly blurry but cleared gradually throughout the evening, I followed instructions keeping my eyes shut most of the time after the op and sunglasses on until I went to bed, putting in the antibiotic drops hourly as prescribed until I went to sleep and the eye shields on when I was asleep. On waking the next day the minor scratchiness had disappeared and I could see clearly and read even small print with no problems. On examination on 20th March at Accuvision I was told that the corneal flaps had sealed and the results were good achieving
-050x160 right distance and -050x180 left near - 20/20 vision.
I was also informed that this may fluctuate over the next 3/4 months, but so far so good and excellent as far as I am concerned.
