I had my operation at the the Fulham clinic on the 18th January and one week on I am really pleased with the result. I looked into it for a long time and had a consultation with optical express but then a friend recommended Accuvision to me. I was not impressed with Optical Express at all because they were very unprofessional, I went into their high street kensington branch to pay for my the operation but there was no one there to arrange despite being told on the phone that it could be arranged on anyday. They then told me that I would be able to arrange it at Shaftesbury Avenue but they too were unable to take my booking. I also thought it cheeky that they advertise it as costing from £395 per eye but I have yet to hear of anyone who has had it done for this price. They wanted £2,600 for my prescription which was only -1.25 in each eye. I therefore decided to have another consultation elsewhere.

Accuvision have been superb from the start the staff are all very friendly and they put you ease. The operation was very quick and not painful at all. It lasts about 10 minutes in total. Everything is explained thorougly. When I went back the next day my eyesight was of driving standard but as the week has progressed my eyesight has improved and it is now 20/20. They do not offer intralase but they explained why they have not chosen to introduce this yet. I paid £1,500 for my treatment but was prepared to pay a lot more for the best result. Having it done at Ultralase or Optical Express would have cost me at least £1,000 more.

It is one of the best decisions I have made. I know from my own experience that whether to undergo the operation is a very difficult decision to make but I am so pleased that I decided to go ahead.
