My mother prompted me into having laser treatment - I think it is something she would have considered, if it had been available when she was my age. I had Wavefront Guided Custom LASIK on 15th January 2003, two weeks after my 41st birthday. (My mother kindly paid for one eye, as it was her suggestion!)
It is therefore exactly four weeks since my treatment. My optician in Lincoln recommended Accuvision to me. I took his advice, which meant staying in London for two nights; Tuesday -consultation, Wednesday - treatment, Thursday-follow up appointment. Listening to my mother and optician were the two best things I have EVER done.
The procedure was absolutely pain-free, the anaesthetizing drops certainly worked! Immediately after the treatment things were hazy, as to be expected. My husband escorted me back to our hotel room and I rested with my eyes shut. Every hour I administered my eye drops (these were to prevent any chance of infection) and each time I opened my eyes I noticed an improvement.
By the following morning, I simply could not believe my eyes! I could see absolutely EVERYTHING! (Even the underground station names on the map in the train on my 3rd consecutive journey to Parsons Green). Darius and Vic said the treatment had been a huge success and I couldn't have agreed more.
One week later, I made the pilgrimage down to Fulham once again (not for the last time, I hasten to add!), to have my eyesight tested. It was better than 20/20 vision!
I still find it hard to believe (having worn glasses/ contacts for 23 years) that I now have perfect vision...it is a dream come true! I teach PE and sport is a big part of my life, so the convenience is just fantastic; also my tennis seems even better - especially pleasing having chosen the slight under correction in my less dominant eye, to delay the eventual onset of long-sightedness.
I can therefore strongly recommend ACCUVISION to anyone; their professionalism is outstanding.
I am now looking forward to my forthcoming 6-week check-up at half term when I am taking my two sons down to London to see where my miracle was performed!
