I had sight correction with Wavefront procedure done Wednesday 22 June 05 and I am really pleased with the results. I didn't have a strong perscription (-2.0 in each eye) but it was enough to mean that I needed glasses/lenses all the time. I can't believe how well I can see now! I even felt confident enough to drive home from the 1 day follow up appointment (my husband drove to the appointment as I wanted to wait until I had been given the 'all clear').

I didn't experience any pain but did feel a little faint afterwards - I am convinced that is due to my nervousness leading up to the procedure!! I was subsequently told that this can happen but that might have been said to make me feel better. I have not had ANY discomfort and have only experienced slightly dry eyes on one day at 4 days post op which are alleviated by the artificial tears provided by Accuvision. I also found that keeping myself hydrated helped with the comfort of my eyes.

I have to say that I have been very impressed by the staff at Accuvision. During the initial consultation and on the treatment day they take the time to explain what to expect and to answer any questions you have (I had many!). The initial consultation was very thorough and I came away with a realistic expectation of how they could help but also with the confidence that they would 'look after' me. I didn't feel the need to visit any other clinics for a consultation but having said that I had previously made a vague enquiry at Optical Express in Holborn, London and I definitely got the 'hard sell' which put me off immediately. As Accuvision is a smaller company they seem to have the time to provide a comprehensive follow up programme (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months & 1 year!) so patient care seems high on their agenda. I realise that there are many 'high street chain' companies who can provide the same procedure but I, personally, felt more comfortable with the personal attention Accuvision provided.

All went well at my one week and 1 month checkup and I have a longer term appointment booked for January 06. I will not post to this site again unless I experience complications.

I would highly recommend Accuvision to anyone – it really has made a huge difference to the quality of my life.
