Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I visited a few clinics to get different opinions, and I'm very pleased I chose Accuvision. Their service was first class, the staff were friendly and informative and the results have been excellent. If you've made your mind up that you want treatment, I'd definitely recommed this place to anyone.

I am back at work 48 hours after having surgery which says a lot about how easy the procedure is. My initial check-up said better than 20/20. My prescription was -3.00 in each eye. I compared 3 clinics, Ultralase, Optical Express and Accuvision. I went for Accuvision because the environment felt right and the surgeon, Chad Rostron works in the NHS which is listed as an important criteria on the choosing the surgeon page on this site. The surgery was very quick and their approach was very calming. Nevertheless, you do worry that you are completely mad in deciding to have your eye cut into! If you are nervous of dentists etc ask if you can take a valium or something. Fortunately it is over very quickly and is completely painless. I kept my eyes shut from surgery until the next morning as this helps healing. It basically feels like you have some soap and an inside out contact lense in your eye for about 2 hours post surgery. The next day feels like you have been wearing contact lenses for too long and now, 48 hours later, I just feel like I have contact lenses in, I always found my vision slightly blurry when scrolling down a computer page too quickly with contact lenses in and this is exactly the same sensation. I will post again in a couple of months to confirm that my eyes feel 100% normal but so far I am really happy with the result.

I was turned down by a couple of clinics as I was very short-sighted, have flat eyeballs and very large pupils. I found Accuvision through Lasikeyes and phoned them, half expecting to be turned away. To my relief they said that they thought they could treat me, although could not guarantee me 20:20 vision. After a very thorough consultation and a chat with one of the surgeons I decided to go ahead. I had my surgery in March, and am delighted. I went back last week for my latest checkup and now have better vision unaided than I had with glasses before surgery. It was not entirely problem free, there was a problem with the healing of one of the flaps, but it was sorted out promptly and efficiently. All the staff were great, and I think it was money very well spent. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I have recently had my one year follow-up appointment at Accuvision having been treated in April 2004 and they have been fantastic from my initial consultation through surgery and follow-up appointments. I had -7 prescription in one eye and slightly higher in the other, both with astigmatism and larger-than-average pupils - now I have 20/20 vision. I never thought this would be possible! Having started wearing glasses aged 5 and having had several unsuccessful and uncomfortable attempts at wearing contact lenses in my teens and twenties I never thought I'd be free of glasses. I had looked into laser surgery in the early 90s and been told my prescription was too high and that basically I would never be treatable. When I went to have a consultation with Accuvision (aged 37) I had prepared myself for a 'No' to avoid disappointment. The consultation was very thorough and I was delighted (and amazed!) when told I was treatable. Everything was very clearly explained, and I was reassured at how thorough the post-operative care sounded with several regular check-ups following the procedure. Because everything was so carefully explained (and also because I found the comments on this website very helpful and reassuring) on the day of surgery I felt fairly relaxed. I had Wavefront Lasik and it was quick and painless. I took it easy for the next few days and made sure I didn't rub my eyes. I was delighted and amazed with the results - I never thought it would be possible. Without my glasses previously I wouldn't have been able to read the top letter of an optician's chart - now I can read the bottom line! Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision - their care and treatment is fantastic - I'm so glad I came to see you!

I had my eyes lasered at Accuvision in May 2005. I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I am 54 and had a prescription of -6.5 with astigmatism. The results are fantastic and I'm certainly very pleased that I had it done. All the staff are very polite and friendly and they really put you at your ease. The surgery does not hurt at all, the most you could say is some slight discomfort for a short while but it is certainly worth it.

i had my eyes lasered in febuary this year. due to a very bad astigmatism i had to have the tapography laser treatment which maps the eye so it can exactly remove the correct amount of corneal tissue. my vision is perfect now and it has changed my life, i am only 19 and it now means that i can pursue my dream career of becoming a police officer. i would advise any person who is thinking of having laser eye surgery to go to Accuvision, they have done an amazing job with me and i wouldn't have tried anywhere else. i give them 7 out of 5 excellent job.

It is now 3 weeks, since I plucked up the courage to have laser surgery to my eyes! Like many people I was very anxious about making what was, to me, such a huge decision. However, the pre-op assessment allayed most of my concerns and gave me a really good understanding of what I could expect at the time of surgery and afterwards,and of the potential complications and likely benefits. Many thanks to Vikash Patel, for his patience and calmness, and for answering all my queries, without putting me under any pressure to make a decision. The surgery went exactly as planned with all the staff helping to put me at my ease. What amazes me most, is that for me, there really was no pain at all! The surgeon Mr Rostron was highly professional and the whole procedure took about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, at my follow up the next day, it became apparent that the corneal flap had moved during the night and was ruckled up, leaving my vision blurred.Within minutes, after a comprehensive explanation, I was back in the treatment room, having the flap repositioned. Once again the procedure was swift and painless,many thanks to Daryus, and the following day my sight was perfect. This has been one of the best decisions I have made, my eyesight is perfect and it is great not to have to wear glasses any more! I would highly recommend the friendly staff and the expertise I found at AccuVision.

Well, here I am typing this with no glasses on! It's still very strange and I'm totally overwhelmed by it all! It's stunning to be able to see for the first time in my life. Anyway, you probably get how excited am I by now :-) I have wanted to get my eyes done for the longest time and spent the last six months researching in earnest. I went to a couple of other clinics first as I wanted to try out three - word to the wise, avoid Optical Express if your prescription is over a + or -3. Having been turned away, I discovered Accuvision. From the start they were efficient and very friendly. Not pushy at all. They agreed to take me on and I had my surgery last Wednesy 29th June 2005. I was +6.5 in my left eye and +5.5 in my right. The surgery itself was pretty yucky - have a valium! But totally painless and over very quickly. I could see straight away, and promplty burst into tears all over Mr Pandit who carried out the procedure. I had very little discomfort afterwards and apart from a little blurring, all is great. I am so thrilled I can't put it into words - Cloud 9 doesn't even get close. Went back the day after and am already 20/20 in my right eye! The left will take longer and may never be perfect as I have an astigmatism. I will check in again in a while to let you all know how my eyes have settled down. But if you have been thinking of having Lasik, go for it!!!! xxxx

I had Custom Lasik surgery at Accuvision a few weeks ago. I was short sighted with a prescription of about -2.50 in each eye. I cant believe the result, I now have better than 20/20 vision. No more glasses, I should have done this years ago. The staff at Accuvision are very helpful and they really seem to care about the standard of treatment. I found the treatment to be completely personal and I felt that the surgeons were customising the treatment for my eyes precisely. A great result!

I have just had my 6 week check and found that my vision is 20/15 - wow! I knew it was good but not that good! Before surgery I was -10 short sighted and relied on specs from waking up until actually crawling into bed - this operation has changed my life. I didn't realise that the world was in focus in the distance - always pushing up my specs. The team at London are great - making you feel really at home and giving a personal service. I mean how many people do they see each week - and they still remembered my christian name. I would fully reccomend this to anyone - the best money you will spend in your life.
