    I went for the consultation 2 weeks ago, and it was very thorough and reassuring. I was extremely impressed with the actual tests themselves - Accuvision certainly have remarkable technology and I'm confident that with my large pupils they could prevent night vision side effects and halos, etc.

    However, their costs are astronomical. I had been under the impression that Wavefront was approximately £3000 (this was my "upper limit" for spending). However, when they told me it was £4000, my jaw dropped.

    That's £2000 for EACH eye.

    I haven't contacted them since - however, I don't intend to go anywhere else, as I don't want to risk using conventional LASIK (i.e. without Wavefront) on my large pupils. So I will return eventually, when I've worked out how to pay for the surgery ...

    Accuvision are the best, I'm sure - but you really have to take the costs into consideration if you're going for Wavefront. If the cost of surgery was up to £3000 then it would be a medical/health decision. But at £4000 it becomes more like a financial decision than anything else (even with the easy payment plan).

    Their advert says it all - "Go on: Put a price on them ..."
