Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Had my surgery last month and now have 20/20 vision. The procedure itself is very quick and pain free, of course the vision is 'foggy' for a while but still better than without my contact lenses or glasses. The next morning I could see clearly and every day for the first week vision improves. I would definitely recommend the Accuvision clinic to anyone considering this surgery, you won't regret it!

My visit to accuvision was my first step to see if anyone could help with my very poor vision that I have suffered all my life from birth. My Vision was a -28 in my left eye and a -16 in my right eye which was worse than expected when examined at accuvision in Parsons Green. With eyes this bad I knew I would not qualify for laser and just wondered if there was anything that anyone could do. Joan and Vikesh at accuvision treated me with such respect and class they are a credit to the company. After being examined by Mr Chad Rostron he stated that he could help me with my eyes and the only option for me was to have inplantable contact lenses. I jumped at the chance for the potential of 20/20 in my right eye and correction to my left eye. Went through the surgery for my left eye in September 2008 and as much as I did not want the curgery the results were out of this world my left eye went from a -28.00 to a -1.00 as it currently is and the vision and comfort is absolutely amazing, my right eye was then operated in december 2008 and was hoping for 20/20 vision after the surgery everything was fine and uncomfortable as expected for a period, as this wore of the vision got better and better and after todays check up with Mr Rostron and Vikesh my right eye is now -0.25 from -16.00 which gives me 20/20 vision. They are truly amazing at accuvision and are so professional they made me feel so welcome and comfortable that they have changed my life forever. I cannot put into words how they have changed my life and that now I do not have to worry about contact lenses just enjoy the best vision I have ever had. If anyone else thinks that you cannot be helped I know nobody as bad eyes as I had and they helped me to feel unbelievable and no words can describe how I feel. I would like to Thank everbody at accuvision and the surgery clinic for the way they you treated me and for changing my life forever. Thank you Mr Rostron, Vikesh and Joan for doing all you could for me it is so appreciated.

Thank you to Accuvision for what they have done for me. They were professional and provided excellent, objective advice with regular follow-up consultations. I would recommend considering them as your specialist for Laser Eye Surgery.

It is now 3 months since I had my cataracts removed and implants installed, I now find life clearer and glasses free. I am eternally grateful to Mr Chad Rostron, Mr V Patel and all the team at Accuvision for their expertise, consideration and general follow up care. Thank you all very much

Researched beforehand, made decision to go with Accuvision as best options, equipment. Excellent care & information provided, I wore glasses for reading ets, long vision was ok. The result is Amazing.. I am so happy, now I can sit at the computer all day- at work (call centre) read supermarket price labels, my mobile, no more on / off with the glasses constantly, its a revelation.

Would recommend Accuvision to anyone for their Customer Service and the fact that they treat you like an individual not a number, no matter how scared you are. I was terrified on the day of the surgery but looking back now it was the best thing that I ever did!

Hi had my yes lasered on Jan 9th 2009 with the expectation that i might have to wear glasses after the procedure because i was told my shortsightedness was on the limits of what could be done. I was -9.5 in the right and -8.5 in the left but am now glasses and contact lens-free which is a truly amazing feeling. While my left eye is still a little blurry i hope it will settle over the coming weeks and if it doesn't, i am still at a level where i can function well and am not dependent on glasses. The staff at the clinic in Fulham, west London, were all absolutely brilliant. Each one is very calm and authoritative. I never once felt i was being sold a product and was given all the facts and treatment options then left to make up my mind over the next few months. The surgery itself, while not painful as such, was not a pleasant experience. But, 30 minutes of discomfort to be able to see is certainly worth it in my book! All in all, I can't recommend them enough. Anyone considering having this treatment should at the very least go to see them for their free consultation and see for themselves.

I had my eyes treated at the Solihull clinic on 16 January. Before surgery my eyes were -5.25 and -4.50 with some astigmatism in my left eye. I don't know what my eyes were in terms of 6/6 or 20/20 type figures but I couldn't read the largest letter at the top of the eye chart. I'd been wearing glasses for 18 years and occasionally wore soft contact lenses. Chad Rostron did my surgery and I'm very pleased with the results. The procedure itself was very quick (I estimate about one minute per eye) and it was completely painless. You just look at a green light which gradually disappears and then comes back at various points during the procedure. As soon as I sat up I could see MUCH better than I could before and I was quite overwhelmed. I was very anxious on the day and one of my biggest fears was the clamp which holds the eye open. This is nothing like as bad as you imagine - it's not held really wide open like you see in some procedures on the internet. It's more the kind of openness that's required to put a contact lens in. Also, because your eye is anaesthetised you have no desire to blink. It's really not so bad at all. As many people have said on here already the staff at Accuvision are very professional, gentle and knowledgable. I was a big baby on the day and Nick (the rather nice chap who did my initial consultation) held my hand during the procedure. Also, the other staff who were present (I think Vik and another chap) were very reassuring and did their best to reduce my anxiety. Now for the nitty gritty of this procedure: I am now 17 days post-op and I can almost see 20/20. My vision is very likely to improve further over the next couple of weeks but I am delighted with my vision already. I don't need glasses for anything and I don't struggle to see anything. I also have excellent night vision. The downside of all this is that for approximately 21 hours after the procedure I was in dreadful pain. My eyes felt like they were burning and I couldn't open them. About 30 minutes after the surgery the anaesthetic wears off and it's then constant pain until the next morning. The co-codamol doesn't even make a dent in it. The second day is a lot better. There is still discomfort and I couldn't open my eyes for long periods of time, but it's much better. On the third day I went out walking the dog with my Mum and my eyes were fine. I could see very clearly and my eyes were good for most of the day. Day four was great and I went back to the clinic to have the contact lenses removed. This made my eyes gritty and degraded my vision quite a lot. On day five the grittyness had gone but my vision stayed slightly blurry for about a week. The day after tomorrow I'm going for a check-up and I expect good news. I can see very well indeed and I've had no pain, dryness or grittyness since the day the lenses were removed. Overall I would definitely recommend Accuvision both for price and service. The staff are lovely and there is no pressure or harassment like some companies. I enquired with two other laser eye surgery providers in October and I'm still getting e-mails. I also had four phone calls from one place and they wanted to charge me £4,500! If you're going to do this then go to Accuvision - they're great.

Accuvision has provided great service and care from the first consultation to the actual surgery to the aftercare process. A very positive experience. I am very pleased with the result and can only recommend it - especially to people with strong prescriptions as i used to have.

I have been wearing glasses since the age of 2 and was a -13 before my eyes were treated, i was starting to become intolerant to contact lenses and was running out of options which meant that i may have had to give up some hobbies. No other clinic would treat me because of my prescription until I found accuvision. It has now been 2 years and I still have excellent vision and no problems, my night vision has improved as a result. The staff are lovely and friendly and always at the end of a phone should you need any advice. I have continued to go to the clinic for my yearly check-up's because the quality of care is so good. Thank-you so much for giving me my sight back. Claire Newman
