I have worn glasses since the age of 3 and soft contact lenses from the age of 16. With a prescription of +7.5 with a severe astigmatism in both eyes, I assumed that I was destined to wear my glasses and lenses for life. This appeared to be compounded by a condition called Pigmentation Dispersion Syndrome, which is apparently very rare in long sighted people.
When I was told last authumn that I may no longer be able to wear soft lenses due to a growth of blood vessels in my right eye, I was devastated. I contacted a number of clinics to enquire about laser surgery and was told by all of them that my prescription was way outside the range for treatment. Then, purely by chance, I came across an advert for Accuvision and was encourgaed to find that they were willing to see me for a consultation.
Within a few weeks, I received an extremely comprehensive consultation which dealt with every aspect of the surgery and possible related risks in the most informative and empathetic way. The staff at the clinic were the friendliest and most helpful professionals I have ever encountered in the 32 years that I have been receiving treatment for my sight defects and I was dumbfounded to be told that they could help me. A week later, following a short and painless procedure, I was able to see almost perfectly without the use of glasses or lenses. Now 3 months after the surgery, I am delighted to report that I have better than 20/20 vision in my right eye with no astigmatism and my left eye is -0.5 with no astigmatism. I no longer need to wear glasses or lenses for anything and its all thanks to Accuvision. Yes, it may cost you a little more but never underestimate the value of your sight - these people are true professionals, not GPs trained in laser surgery as found in some clinics and they have access to the most state of the art technology that they have been involved in developing. No other clinic can compare, so save yourself the time and effort and go straight to the professionals. I would recommed this clinic to ANYONE.
