I had laser surgery on 17/10 & although I still have afew weeks to go before I reach my final improved sight the results so far are amazing.
I was recommended accuvision by a Consultant Ophthalmologist (You can't get any better than that)and went for my consultation on 11/10.
This was extremely thorough and professional, but at the same time Vikash was very friendly & made sure that I understood everything he was doing. He explained the surgery & the possible outcomes to me but it wasn't sugar coated and he made sure that the cons awell as the pros were clearly spelt out to me.
I left accuvision that afternoon a very happy person with my deposit paid and a date for the following Monday.
The surgery itself was very quick and painless. Mr Rostron & all the other staff were friendly & made me feel very at ease. I was in and out of the clinic within the hour.
That day was spent resting with my eyes closed as much as possible (this was the hardest bit because it got quite boring). I experienced watery eyes, afew shooting pains & a feeling likened to when you have worn contact lenses for too long (eyes a little sore & tired). Thankfully this didn't last long.
On my 24hr check up I was told that my right eye was already nearly at 20/20 vision, but a had alittle dryness in both eyes
The rest of the week was fine,I was using eye drops for the dryness & had afew pains in my left eye but apart from that everything was great.
I had my weekly check up yesterday with Vikash, the flaps are healing nicely & the sight is getting better by the day but I'm still having problems with the dryness(I was assured by Vikash that this wouldn't be a problem it will just take a little longer for my eyes to adjust). I was given different drops to use awell as something to use at night to help lubricate the eyes, hopefully this will sort me out.
All I can say to anyone thinking of this surgery is that the staff at accuvision were & still are fantastic & supportive, the only problem for me was that I wished I'd had the money years ago to have the treatment.
It has been a life changing experience for me & has already given me the freedom I've only ever been able to dream of before.
