    Accuvision Solihull were absolutely outstanding. About me: age 37, long sight (+3.75 and +4.25) with astigmatism and right sided squint (correctable by glasses/lenses). Glasses since age of 3 and contacts/glasses since late teens. Major problems over past 2 yrs with eye allergies and eczema-type skin, often sore and angry underneath eyes. Unable to wear contact lenses over recent months and hated thickness of glasses (which revealed squint as soon as I took them off). Nick Dash and team at Accuvision Solihull were amazing. Could not be faulted; totally professional, dedicated and reassuring. My concerns were that i would not be a candidate due to prescription, squint and allergy problems. Thorough pre-op testing for suitability showed slightly thinner than average corneas, but ok to go ahead. Told squint would be correctable with lasik, as it is corrected by contact lenses (had not realised this). I was nervous regarding the outcome, but now 3 weeks later my vision is better than 20/20! I do not need specs or lenses for anything at all! Squint has been corrected - which is just AMAZINGLY liberating and confidence-enhancing. All of my allergies have now gone; we think the contact lenses & solutions had been causing them. I am overjoyed and can't sum it up in words. I have already referred 7 people (2 of whom have already had it done and are as delighted with their outcomes as I am). If you need reassurance, do what i did: Check out the patient testimonials and google 'Nick Dash'. He did all my suitability tests and has played a part in restoring the vision of lots of leading sports people. Surgeons were Mr Jindal and Darius (whose surname begins with P and I can't remember!) who had superb bedside manner and reassured me the whole way through the procedure. I feel it was well worth the money for the benefits and massive improvement in my quality of life. With the squint problem, I feel as though I have had two ops for the price of one. Fab!
