I had wavefront guided Lasik at Accuvision four days ago. I had a mild short-sightedness and astigmatism. I am, so far, very happy with the results. Vision in my left eye is very good; vision in my right eye is better than it was but I'm hoping it will improve.

I found the actual procedure extremely unpleasant and would not want to go through it again. Despite that the discomfort is short lived and I have no regrets. Post surgery I had no pain in one eye whilst the other was really quite sore with 'shooting pains'. I wouldn't really describe them as gritty, more prickly!

I found the team pleasant and professional. However I agree with the comments posted regarding the rude receptionist, her attitude prior to surgery nearly prevented my going there.

On the negative:
I would have welcomed a sedative/anxiolytic beforehand (Accuvision won't let you have one).

I would also have welcomed somewhere a little more private/comfortable to recover for the hour afterwards. When the operation was finished I felt very emotional and stressed - sitting in a busy waiting room with my eyes shut was disorientating and distressing.

Overall I would go through it all again and would choose Accuvision.
