    As a "Boots Reject" I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I first walked into Accuvision's clinic. I was gutted when the consultant at Boots told me, because of an irregular shaped pupil, they were unable to help me. He suggested that Accuvision may be able to help, but after the reaction i got from most of the staff there (lots of people coming to look at the lady with the funny eye!) I wasn't getting my hopes up! Boy, was I wrong! I explained to Vikash what the man at Boots had said and he took a very brief look at my eye and immediately said that it would not be a problem, I nearly kissed him! and here i am 48 hours post op, with 20/15 vision and only wishing I'd had this done 10 years ago. I was really nervous on the day of surgery but seeing other people coming in and out clearly delighted with their ops really put me at ease. Joan held my hand the entire time and I'm glad she did, the only bit i found slightly uncomfortable was when there was pressure put on my eye but it was nothing really. The scariest bit was when the first eye had been done and covered and they moved on to the next one, as they lifted the flap and it all went dark I squeezed poor Joan's hand so hard!! but the minute the flap was put back in place I knew that my sight was drastically improved, from being a blurry light above my head, I could now see individual circles of light and the little flashing red blob was now a dot. As I stood up from the bed I was shocked at how well I could see and couldn't stop grinning, Vikash was smiling back at me and seemed genuinely pleased for me. As i sat outside, with my eyes shut, the anaesthetic wore of and my eyes stung a bit but that was the only discomfort I felt. Mike explained that the first 3-4 hours were when it would be uncomfortable and after 3 hours I was absolutly fine. I was so excited about the amount I could see that I couldn't sleep, I spent most of the night looking out of my hotel room looking for small print to read!!! At the clinc the next day Vikash told me that my eyes were healing well and that I had 20/15 vision, I haven't stopped smiling since. This is just one of the best things I have ever done and if anyone asks me if they should get it done I would not hesitate in recommending the wonderful team at Accuvision. They treat you as a whole person, not just a pair of eyes.
