Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Having worn glasses/contact lenses for 15 years I decided that i would look into having laser eye surgery done. Having been to a consultation at Ultralase and one at Accuvision I decided that Accuvision seemed more informative and you were given a lot more personal attention. I had my surgery done on Tuesday 6 September at Solihull and I can honestly say things could not of gone any better. Surgery itself was painless but strange as you were aware of something going on but it did not hurt one bit. Throughout the surgery you were advised every step of the way as to what was happening or what was going to happen next. My eyes watered for a couple of hours after but by the evening I could not believe how much I could see and no pain at all. At my follow up appointment the day after my eyes were checked and I was told that I had 20/20 vision and the flap was healing superbly. Three days after surgery and things are still brilliant, it is nice to open your eyes in the morning and be able to see. I am glad I decided to go for laser eye surgery, the only thing I regret is not having it done sooner.

I had lasik surgery before back in the day when it had pretty much just started out. Over the years my eayes had started deteriorating a bit and I was forced to wear spectacles again. I decided to try Accuvision firstly because trying to get in contact with anyone from Optimax was worse than having teeth pulled. Getting an appointment at Accuvision was easy and hassle-free. From there things only got better. Because of my previous lasik surgery, my case was not not a straight-forward one - but everything went perfectly!! The staff are friendly, helpful, professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering lasik surgery; whether it's your first time or like me your second. Thank you to all the staff at Accuvision for everything.

My life has truly been changed overnight and I can't believe I have endured hideous glasses for 16 years and contact lenses for the past 30 years. All efforts in the past to have laser surgery were dismissed by my optician on the grounds that my eye sight was too poor (+8 prescription and stigmatism) and it was only through recommendation that I made contact with Accuvision. From the initial consultation to my laser treatment they could not have been more helpful or re-assuring. The procedure was totally painless though I'm glad I was one of those people who didn't want to know the details of what they were going to do!! At worst my eyes were sort for a day or so but a couple of days later I could see... and I keep reminding everyone so! The worst part for me was wearing those glasses for 3 weeks before surgery (as you are not allowed to wear hard contact lenses) But it was worth every minute. I can't thank you engough.

I had considered laser eye correction for a while now and after extensive research came to the conclusion that Accuvision should be on my shortlist of clinics. There were many reasons; Chad Rostrons' (the surgeon)impressive CV, the fact that they use the Wavelight laser which has outperformed everything else in the FDA clinical trials and they charge a fair price for all this expertise. Anyway, my consultation with Vikash didn't disappoint and Mr. Rostron was excellent. My results are beyond my wildest dreams: 20/15 vision with each eye and pushing 20/10 with both. Aftercare has also been brilliant and it seems that nothing is too much trouble for the Accuvision team. A BIG THANK YOU!

Just thought I'd add an update following my previous posting a few days after my lasik surgery. I was initially concerned because my right eye was perfect and my left eye was slightly blurred. I've had my six week check up today and am glad and relieved to report that my left eye is improving. Immediately post op I was L +1.00 R 0.0 I've just had my six month checkup and my left eye is now +0.5 and my right eye is 0. my overall vision is 20/15. I still have halos and glare when driving at night but I was told this would continue to improve. I've been really impressed with Accuvision and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Please email me if you would like to ask any questions about my experience. Ian

I just had my 3 month check up and my vision is absolutely perfect with no side effects at all. I have huge pupils and so I would have been prone to poor night vision without the wave front technology. I initially had halo's at night on bright lights for a couple of months but that has all cleared up now. The entire team have been informative and friendly and I was particularly impressed by the fact that at no time did I feel I was been given the hard sell. The results are better than I had ever imagined, thanks to everyone at Accuvision.

Excellent service from everyone at the clinic, professional, efficient, friendly and accommodating. Vision excellent.

Pre-Op: R-8.25 / -0.75 x 180 L-9.00 / -1.00 x 165 Post-Op 20/15 vision. Accuvision superb, what can I say other than being able to see unaided is an absolute miracle. Can't thank the team at Accuvision Fulham enough, I just wish that I'd done it sooner.

I have worn glasses/contact lenses for the past twenty years and without them I was fairly restricted, my eyesight was nearly minus six in both eyes and therefore I was completely reliant on my glasses if I wasn’t wearing my contacts. My choice to have the procedure done came from my wanting to play more sports/swim and not have tried eyes at the end of the day from wearing contacts. Having decided to do some research on companies I chose Accuvision. Other companies seemed too busy to even discuss booking the consultation let alone having a conversation with me. This gave me doubt; if their customer service skills were poor what are their surgical procedures like? I looked into finding out as much as possible about the surgery before the consultation with Nick in Solihull. He answered all my many, many questions and allowed my husband to be there to help me remember everything, giving me the chance to fully discuss it at home before deciding. I had the LASIK surgery on the 4th Oct with Brett and I am so pleased, the whole procedure was quick, comfortable and painless. Although it was the strangest thing I have ever experienced Brett made me feel calm, reassuring me throughout. After resting my eyes for twenty minutes when finished I opened them to realise I could see. As expected it was a little blurry I wasn’t in any pain and given instructions to go home and rest until my check-up the following day. I returned the next morning for Nick to tell me I had 20/20 vision and over the next few weeks it would get clearer and better. I went back yesterday for my weekly check-up and again Nick was pleased with the results and my eyes have healed very well. Nick asked if I had had any problems over the week and I mentioned I had felt sick for a couple of days and he explained it was due to my eyes readjusting to my new sight and causing a similar effect to travel sickness. That has gone now. My eyes are also sensitive to bright light but naturally that is due being able to see everything quite clearly and my glasses/contacts use to absorb some of the light. Also my vision goes through stages of being a little blurred, but my eye drops help. I expected this as I was informed beforehand. None of the issues bother me at all; just thought I’d keep them informed. I still have to attend a couple of regular check-ups to ensure everything is fine. For me personally it is the best thing I have every done. I am so impressed with the service, information given, the painless surgery and of course my 20/20 vision. What a fantastic result. Thank you so much.

Being shortsighted I have been wearing glasses for about 14 years. After investigating Eye Laser Surgery for over 4 years I finally overcame my fear and phobias and booked in for surgery with Accuvision in Fulham for last Thursday 06th October 2005. I only wish I had done it sooner! The staff were extremely impressive and friendly, putting me at ease from the first moment and talking me through what was happening the whole time. They had a lovely nurse called Joan who sat and held my hand throughout the whole. My main fear (having witnessed the procedure on television) was the "eye clamps" used. I needn't have worried. The whole procedure for both eyes took around 8 minutes. And there was no pain at all. I felt no pain during the procedure and have experienced no pain since. The first 24 hours were very blurry and I would definately recommend that no one try to cook their own dinner the same day as surgery. Believe me you go to bed very hungry. I have been back to the clinic today for my 1st week checkup and everything is healing nicely. I already have better than 20/20 vision. I have driven at night and experienced no "halos" although I did find some headlights a little too bright but I'm told that this will improve over the next few weeks. My friend who accompanied me to the clinic on the day of surgery was so impressed with the entire operation and the clinic that she is now considering the surgery for herself. For anyone still thinking about this I would say go for it! It is scary to put yourself in such a vunerable position but believe me you are in the very best of hands with Accuvision in Fulham. I took my time and had many consultations with different clinics to get a feel of the different levels of professional care and technology available. For me Accuvision ticked all the right boxes and with their Interest Free Repayment Option it just made the whole process that more affordable. So good luck to anyone on the verge of going for this.
