1. Review of AccuVision Laser Eye Clinic
Established in 2001, AccuVision is a popular destination for people seeking quality, affordable laser eye surgery. This clinic currently operates in five cities nationwide: London, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and Newcastle, and has performed over 40,000 treatments and counting.
What did independent inspectors find? According to the CQC’s latest report, there were no complaints between August 2016 and September 2017 from 1,011 refractive eye procedures carried out at AccuVision.
Is there anything else I should know? Most of the eye surgeons on our site enjoy five-star ratings, and the same is true for AccuVision. But it’s worth noting we only have 10 reviews for Dr Prashant Jindal.
Patients always want to find an ophthalmologist they feel comfortable with. That’s why it’s always a good idea to do your own research by trying to meet with your surgeon at an initial consultation, and many clinics offer these for free.

2. AccuVision Treatments
As well as common laser vision correction treatments – such as LASEK and LASIK with ultra-accurate Wavefront diagnostics – AccuVision also offers lens replacement surgery, including the UK’s most common surgical procedure: cataract surgery.
- LASIK eye surgery
- Trans-Epithelial Surface Treatment
- Lens replacement surgery
- ICL surgery (implantable contact lenses)

So is it safe? AccuVision promises highly sophisticated, automated devices, with world-class Wavefront technology and the Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer laser.

3. AccuVision Laser Eye Clinic Prices
AccuVision’s prices are reasonable rates in laser eye surgery. On average, 800 patients told Lasik Eyes they paid £1,200 (per eye) for laser eye surgery, and £3,615 (per eye) for lens replacement surgery (including cataract surgery) – few clinics have lower starting prices.
AccuVision doesn’t publish a fixed price list, but here are the costs you can expect for the most popular eye surgeries:
- Consultation Price: Free for initial consultation
- LASIK Price: Average cost £2,400 for both eyes
- Trans-Epi Price: Average cost £2,400 for both eyes
- C3R Treatment Price: Average cost £2,000 per eye
Here’s how these prices compare to the eye surgery quotes offered by other clinics:
| Treatment | Optical Express Cost (per eye) | Optegra Cost (per eye) | Optimax Cost (per eye) | Centre for Sight Cost (per eye) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LASIK / LASEK | From £595 | £1,795 | £1,695 | £2,400 |
| Cataract Surgery | From £3,195 | £2,495 | £2,995 | From £3,150 |
| ICL Surgery | From £3,395 | £3,495 | £2,495 | £3,615 |
Eye surgery isn’t an insignificant cost for most people. That’s why AccuVision offers a 10 month finance option, which lets you spread the costs of surgery after the initial deposit into smaller monthly fees. You will need to pass a credit check with Hitachi Capital to gain approval for this payment plan.
That said, most clinics provide finance plans for much longer – up to three years, and also team up with health insurers who may cover at least some of the costs of the surgery (which AccuVision doesn’t).

Accuvision Reviews

I had my eye surgery in July 2007 and it was the best thing I have done!! The results are truely amazing and the care and attention to detail and service given by the staff was fantastic. Jeni

I went to Accuvision after a friend of mine and his father had the procedure. They both had pretty poor eye sight prior to the operation, and have been very vocal about how well everything went and how well looked after they were. My own prescription pre-op was -4.5 left eye and -2.5 in the right, so the stigmatism was quite bad. The consultation was very detailed and professional. In fact, they actually found a fault with my spectacles that no one else had picked up. I had the procedure on a Friday morning and it was a very efficient, professional and friendly service. There was no discomfort post-op and my eyesight was back to the pre-op corrected level by the evening. 5 days later and I can read the 20-20 line on an eye chart, the incision has healed and there’s no discernable defect in either eye. I am extremely impressed with the people, process and results and would highly recommend that you at least have a consultation with Accuvision.

Before I begin, I would like to thank the staff at Accuvision for their wonderful service, in my opinion they are second to none. Right... For those of you reading these reviews trying to decide who to pick then I can definitely vouch for Accuvision. They price their treatment accordingly and fairly whilst providing quality treatment. I am based in the North so I originally went to Leeds to see Simon Falk for my consultation. Simon was exceptionally clear and concise and answered all of my questions without any worries. I must say, he gave me the best eye checkup I have ever had (and this was all FREE!!!). I was very happy at this stage to sign up. I had my treatment at the Fulham clinic in London (which was perfectly placed 5 minutes away from the Parson's Green Tube station) and I was very impressed with the overall presentation of the clinic. The staff were exceptionally friendly and greeted me very warmly. The optometrists were very thorough with their evaluation of me (even though I had already paid my deposit) and gave me a very clear idea of what to expect. I was exceptionally nervous when it came to the crunch, but it was totally painless and ended before I had time to get too worried (thank you Darius!). I left the clinic feeling very confident I had made the right choice. Almost immediately I could see a major improvement with my vision (with sneaked peeks at the TV in the lounge of the clinic) and also in the Taxi journey back to the hotel. Unfortunately for me, I had a slight delay in my recovery which was later found to be a reaction to the steroids. I was very nervous about complications and they suggested I went to the clinic the same day to confirm everything was fine - I had quite a journey to make and it was after their opening hours by the time I arrived - but the surgeon (Darius) waited for me as did all of the Optometrists. Darius spotted the problem immediately without fuss and put me at ease. The Staff were very thorough again, double checking everything (including eye pressure 2 different ways just to be certain). I knew I was in very good hands. Three days later both of my eyes were recovered. My right eye, which had already been very good, was exceptional - much better than I had hoped for. My left eye not as good but still great. Two weeks later I am still seeing improvements and everything looks so much nicer. Colours are more vivid, distant objects appear more crisp and everything looks great. Everything seems much more upbeat and real. I was amazed at how the colours jumped out at me (and I still am). I guess this is what they mean by improved acuity. I would not hesitate to recommend Accuvision - especially those worried about the aftercare - which in my case has been brilliant!!

After wearing glasses for 22 years I finally decided to make a run for freedom. And freedom I got! I've 20/15 on each eye and bordering on 20/10 with both! The first few days after the op I had halo's and everything was a bit 'milky' but after a week it was all fine and now after a month I just have to remember to not push my glasses up all the time... I can absolutely recommend Lasik and specially AccuVision to anyone and I thank them for my newfound freedom.

After years of deliberating whether to have laser eye surgery I decided enough was enough and took the plunge. I chose Accuvision in Fulham as I had only positive feedback from previous patients and I investigated the state of the art equipment used there. I was not disappointed. I was greeted upon my arrival in a very friendly manner and was seen by a professional optometrist who examined my eyes thoroughly while explaining everything in great detail making sure I understood fully the treatment I was to have - in fact I only had to have one eye operated on. On surgery day again I was treated in the most professional, hospitable way and informed of everything that was happening. After a few minutes I was out of surgery and able to see without glasses, I was amazed, quite emotional and very, very grateful to all the staff at Accuvision for their professionalism, care and the return of my sight. My only regret is that I waited so long.. Sharon Francis.

SUPERB!!! 6 years following my LASIK surgery (with a 'blade') at Accuvision in Fulham. My vision is still fab. Have put several friends in touch with Accuvision and they to are equally impressed with their results.It looks as though they (Accuvision) offer a whole lot more than just Lasik these days too.
Fiona Sexton
I had both my eyes lasered about 6 years ago with Accuvision. My prescription was -6.5 for both eyes. The service I received at Accuvision was incomparable. I had a thorough eye examination and the procedure was thoroughly explained to me. There was no hard sell at all, in fact they even encouraged me to go away and think about the operation before making a decision. On the day I was made to feel very special by all involved in my procedure especially as I was very scared, but the procedure was very quick and they talked to me all the way through the operation so I was aware of exactly what was going on. I had to go back the following day, then 1 week later then 1 month and then 6 months. Every time I returned I was greeted by name and seen by the same people. My Mum, who is long sighted, and had accompanied me throughout my procedure had her eyes lastered 2 years later, and when I went with her they recognised me! Since then my sister-in-law, step dad and my husband have had their eyes done at Accuvision. I can't recommend them highly enough. My Husband had his eyes done this week - a total success - he wishes now he had had his done a few years ago. The price I paid has come down considerably and my husband paid £1250 per eye. If you want a company that is interested in you and not just their bottom line - go to Accuvision.

I had my surgery a week ago today and had my second post op appointment this morning. I have found Accuvision to be excellent in every way. At my consultation they were thorough, professional, positive and at no point tried to pressure me into making my mind up. I left my consultation feeling completely confident in Accuvision, so I went ahead and booked the surgery. I didn't even bother with other consultations as I trusted them completely. I was SO nervous at my surgery and my head wouldn't stop shaking throughout the procedure. However I had no reason to be so anxious. It was completely painless, just a little weird. But it is over so quickly, that you don't really have time to think about what's happening. My surgeon, Chad Rostron, was brilliant - reassuring, professional and I had complete faith in him. The nurse and second surgeon in the room were also fantatsic. After the surgery, I had to sit in the reception for 15 mins with my eyes closed, but when those 15 mins were up and I opened my eyes - I could see! 20 mins earlier I hadn't be able to read the writing on the TV, but now I could! I can't tell you what an incredible feeling it was. My eyes didn't hurt afterwards, they just felt like I had a bit of grit in them. By the next morning when I went back for my follow up appointment, I felt great. Now a week later, I have 20-20 vision. My distance sight is excellent but reading up close is very slightly wooly. Also my night vision is not quite as it should be but both these things will correct themselves as the swelling goes down in my eyes. I am so pleased with the results, it's like a modern day miracle and I forget that I needed glasses now. Accuvision were brilliant - they are welcoming, professional and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate in encouraging anyone to have their surgery with them. In fact, I have already recommended my dad and 2 friends!

We left any comments until our final check up so as to give the full picture. Both my wife and I had treatment last May. My wife had monovision correction (one eye for reading and one for distance) and I had my acute astigmatism corrected. Cost for both of us £3400, half the price of other quotes we had. I never believed that I would ever rid myself of glasses. We must give the staff at Accuvision 200% for their care, professionalism and total customer service. Everything was 1st class and truly exceeded our expectations. If you are thinking of having laser surgery don't look elsewhere.
Pauline Hunter
Can't express enough how happy I am. I never appreciated how precious sight is until I had it fully restored by Accuvision. My sight was a bit complex with a stigma and long vision but I now have almost 20/20 vision. The first day after the operation I felt like I had the sight of an eagle and realised that I had not seen properly for years through glasses. An absolute miracle and the best money I've ever spent. Highly recommend the Kings Road surgery, absolutely brilliant and a fantastic after service. My life feels like it's started over again, can't recommend this surgery enough.
