    I had my eyes corrected at Accuvision just over four months ago and am extremely satisfied with the results. I had been wearing contacts/eye glasses for ever and with a poor vision (R -7.75 / -050 x17 and L -9.50/-100 x 162) coupled with a thinnish cornea, I did my research well before embarking on surgery. I realised early on in the selection process that the machine and the technology employed for the LASIK surgery is particularly important. In addition to Accuvision, I had my eyes examined at a centre famous for treating celebrities. I was particularly attracted by the surgeon there although the technology used at that clinic was older. I was not reassured when that centre told that there would be a high probability of still having to wear glasses after the operation. In addition, I was told that I may not have enough cornea tissue left after the surgery to do further correction. I asked whether they were planning to shift to the newer Wavefront technology (used and tested at Accuvision) and was told that they were planning to start trial of the new technology some time during the fall. I was also told that the probability of success with the newer technology would likely be higher given the correction needed for my eyesight. I ended up choosing Accuvision as I was reassured by the efficiency/friendliness of the staff and by their use of the latest technology. I definitely made the right choice. I have full correction in my left eye and only -0.25 in my right eye! In addition, I have enough cornea tissue left to do further surgery if I ever need to do so again. For anyone opting to go for this operation I would recommend patience after surgery. It took 10 days for the blurriness to subside and as I was not sure what to expect (in spite of having had everything explained in advance) I panicked. The surgery itself was not painful and the post surgery discomfort (tearful eyes) lasted only a few hours. Overall I have the highest praise for the staff at Accuvision.
