I had been toying with the idea of visiting an laser eye surgeon, and found one in Bluewater near where I live. I went along for the consultation and looking forward to eye laser surgery, but when being told that as my eye sight was so bad and when they matched the cost to my eye sight, I was flabbergasted, and fell off my chair. (not reading the small print which said “from” ) this eye laser surgeon wanted to charge me 4 times what I thought the cost would be (*£395 per eye). I decided to shop around and looked for a more reasonable eye laser surgeon, without compensating service or procedure.
I found Accuvision, New Kings Road, Fulham. I had worn contact lenses and glasses since I was 19 for 28 years. For years I had abused my eyes by keeping contact lenses in my eyes for extended hours, and kept lens well past there sell by date. I never envisaged having such perfect eye sight after corrective treatment.
I would like to thank the staff for such a caring manor, throughout the whole process I was informed of each and every part from what to expect and right down to the sensation I would feel. There was NO pain, only very slight discomfort. In my own words it was like having my very own version of close encounters of the third kind, with different coloured lights flashing in front of your eyes, white, green and red lights, as the surgery was done.
Immediately after getting up from the surgery I knew it had been a great success, although very hazy It was the first time I could see the whites of everyone’s eyes clearly without specs for 28 years, my vision before surgery was -6.0 Spectacle prescription in both eyes. For the majority of the first two weeks I had halo’s around lights whether it be driving or just looking a lights, but this didn’t hinder my sight which has really improved since and become much sharper, also my near sighted vision was as good immediately after surgery but this has also improved and I can see clearly as 7 inches from each eye. I had Lasik Wavefront surgery which was done on the 4th October, and at my weekly check-up was told that my eyesight was now better than 20-20 vision.
Thank you very much Accuvission for my eye-sight back, its fantastic!
I have recommended Accuvission to many close friends and family, and told them all if they wish a chaperone I’m willing to go with them.
Once again, big thanks to all the surgeons, doctors, consultants and staff at Accuvision, fantastic!
