I went for my pre-op check on July 1st - they seemed a little rushed and the the matter of fact way in which they told me how they were going to sculpt the corneas did concern me - I saw several different people for the same checks and each came up with a slightly varying result.

Anyway I researched the net on the subject and accuvision, seemed to be highly praised. They had the best equipment. A few of my friends had their eyes done at Ultralase one has vision that is 20/10 and is very happy, another has vision that 20/20 and is reasonably happy - another friend had his eyes done at Optimax for £400 he has suffered infections had to go to specialists - had his eyeball frozen so they could correct the mistakes made. I think he is OK now.

I had my eyes lasered on 19th July by Accuvision. No pain apart from the first cut on my right eye definitly felt a super sharp blade but no pain. very worrying process and very anxious wait.

After 1 month checkup my right is 20/20-15, left is 20/20 in their opinion but there is marked difference between how each eye sees. My right eye is much better. They said that the cut had healed so well that an optician would not be able to see it - A blind optician maybe - it is feel good talk - I can see the cut and so will an optician. Did they say that to any others out there.

I went for my monthly check up and they discovered an astigmatism in my right eye - during the check they put further prescription on my eye and suddenly the world became super clear, they could not seem to do the same with my left eye which is a little surprising. Night vision is not fantastic either but probably as good as when contacts - they said this would improve dramatically.

This matter did not seem to concern them as their machines said the correction was 20/20. I go back for further check soon knowing that there machines are not perfect.

Still I am happy that I no longer need to wear lenses or glasses and it does make a big difference to your life. I am not sure however that Accuvision is worth the extra money compared to Ultralase.

If your are looking for wonder vision save yourself some money go to Ultralase you will get 20/20 vision as well there - the checks are also more comprehensive.
