    Well another review for Accuvision and another 5 out of 5…. ;-) My prescription before my operation was around -8 in both eyes with around -3 diopters of astigmatism in both eyes giving a whopping -11 combined refractive error! On top of this my cornea's were around 10% thinner than average, (something no other clinic thought to mention!). I had been turned down for LASIK treatment at another clinic and offered LASEK instead but I was a bit weary of LASEK because of the increased risk of corneal hazing in the very short sighted like me and the fact the clinic had only recently started offering the procedure. After doing a bit of research on the web I went to Accuvision who said they could do a LASIK procedure on me. The morning after the operation I was 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other. It's now two days since the operation, I do have some dry eyes although the drops they gave me do seem to be helping and I do have poor night vision but these are all very common so soon after the operation I am told. I am amazed at how much I can see and I must thank Mr Roydon and Darius who performed the surgery. At £4000 my treatment was hughly expensive, but I went with Accuvision because I thought they could give me the best chance at a great result, and at the end of the day when its your eyes that are involved that's all you can do (I'm sure we've all hear the horror stories of what happens when things go wrong!). In order to correct my high prescription they performed a cutting edge treatment with cutting edge equipment. I will post another update when I've had my one week post-op consultation. It sound like all treatments at Accuvision are £4000, they are not, you can pay a lot less than that depending on how bad your eyes are. I paid top whack because I had a very high prescription and thin corneas somthing no other clinic I have been to can treat with a LASIK procedure... just wanted to avoid any confusion.
