Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

What can I say apart from WOW !!!!! I had my eyes done with the wavefront laser surgery on 25th September and I can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever done in my life. I had worn glasses since I was 6 years old and for the last 23yrs had relied on glasses or contact lenses to get me through the day, I had a prescription of -6.50 in the right eye and -6.25 in the left. Also I had astigmatism in both eyes. I was absolutely petrified on the morning of the surgery and spent the 20 minutes before I went in shaking like a leaf. Daryus and his team were fantastic throughout especially for a "wimp" like me. The actual procedure was quick and painless. Even though they tell you this beforehand, you still have your doubts. But really it is !!!! I sat up and could see straight away. I was probably one of the lucky ones as afterwards I had none of the watering eyes or gritty feeling which they tell you to expect. It is now 9 days since I had the surgery. I have been for my first week check up and I have a vision of 20/20 in the left eye and 20/10 in the right. I am still amazed when I wake up in the morning that I can now see my alarm clock !!! I would recommend Accuvision to anyone and have already recruited a couple of candidates who I think were using me as a guinea pig !!

My prescription before treatment was Right Eye SPH -3.25 CYL -4.50 Left Eye –SPH -3.25 CYL -5.50. I had worn glasses for 35 years and I was a real no hoper for LASIK as I have a high astigmatism in my left eye and also dry eyes, which meant I could not wear contact lenses. After being turned down flat when giving my prescription over the telephone by both Boots and Optimax I finally went to see Ultralase in Leeds who offered me LASEK, I booked my appointment but when I came back off holiday they had cancelled stating that the consent forms were still not back from the printers and it would be another 4-5 weeks (I had already waited 4 weeks). I lost all confidence and cancelled my appointment altogether and resigned myself to wearing glasses, however reading the Daily Mail a couple of days later I happened to notice the Accuvision advert I had not seen it before and although they where based in London I decided to ring them and try one more time. Am I glad I did, I spoke to Daruis who was very helpful and informative and in the space of that 10 minute chat I knew that I had found a company that genuinely wanted to help me and my trust and faith were restored 100 fold. Due to the distance involved (I live in Doncaster) Daruis arranged it so I could travel down on the 14th August for a consultation and if everything was ok I could have the treatment the same day. All the people down at Accuvision were lovely, Mike was very helpful and informative, Vik tested my eyes and explained in full detail what the outcome would be and also the negative sides, Darius and Mr Ayliff did the procedure. The procedure took approx 15 minutes and was painless, I had slight initial blur but now 6 weeks later my vision is fantastic and I have a permanent grin on my face. Thank you Accuvision you took a hopeless glasses wearing reject and made me whole again!! If anyone is thinking of having this procedure done I would highly recommend Accuvision their service is second to none and I would be happy to answer any queries anyone may have.

Had my first weeks check-up yesterday. Eyes seem to be healing nicely. Dry eye symptoms are getting better day by day, only have to use the drops a couple of times a day now and my eyes are already feeling pretty comfortable. Night vision is not yet perfect but has improved quite a bit. Vision is still around the 20/20 mark. All-in all excellent progress. Have my next check-up in 5 weeks; I'll post an update then.

MY MUM HAD THE SURGERY DONE TWO WEEKS AGO AND BELEIVES IT IS THE BEST THING SHE HAS EVER DONE (HER NAME IS ELAINE SEWARD) EVEN THOUGH THE COST WAS £4000 HER EYESIGHT WAS POOR AND SHE WAS REFUSED THE PROCEDURE IN LEEDS, AND SHE IS GLAD THAT SHE WAS, AS THE SERVICE AT LONDON WAS FANTASTIC. YOU CAN NOT PUT A PRICE ON YOUR VISION.SHE HAS RECOVERED WELL AND CAN NOT THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR HER THE STAFF COULDNT HAVE DONE ANYMORE THAN WHAT THEY DID AND SHE WOULD RECOMMEND THE CLINIC TO ANYONE THINKING OF HAVING THE PROCEDURE DONE

I am having LASIK corrective eye surgery at Accuvision is the best decision that I have ever made. For the first time in my life I feel normal. My parents thought that I was a 'SLOW' child until I started school and they realised that I could not see (my prescription was -9.00 and -12.00 with a bad astigmatism). I had tried contact lenses and very expensive glasses with the thinnest lenses possible but still groped around for my glasses before even being able to get out of bed, as it was rather like looking through frosted glass otherwise! When I first met my husband he thought I was smiling at him - the truth was that I couldn't even see him! (fortunately I still love him). My current prescription is -0.25 and -1.75 with a slight astigmatism and the need for reading glasses to balance my eyes if the light is poor as well as glasses for driving. At 51 years old I was the only one able to read the menu without glasses on a recent night out with friends. The staff at Accuvision are all extremely professional and supportive. Daryus in particular was wonderful. Some people may think that at £4000 the cost is expensive. Personally, I feel like a new woman and could not put a price to the confidence and sheer pleasure in life that my new sight has given me. I was previously refused even a consultation with other clinics as I was beyond the majic range of -8.00 or +2.00, but would highly recommend Accuvision.

With a prescription of +7.00 / -2.00 * 180 in both eyes and one of my eyes being a lazy eye, I had resolved myself to being dependent on visual aids until I found Accuvision in London. I decided to trust my eyes to Accuvision and proceeded to AccuWave LASIK treatment 6 weeks ago.

What a result!! I cannot thank the team enough for their commitment and support throughout my treatment. From receptionist to surgeon, from consultation to completion, my treatment was second to none.

I was clearly informed of any risks and the procedure was explained to me in great detail, there was no pressure and no misleading information to influence me to proceed.

After being turned down by six ( yes six!!!!!!!! ) “leading” laser eye clinics ( Ultralase, Optimax, Rosen Eye Clinic, Birchendale, The Eye Clinic and Boots ) I had given up all hope until someone like me with a very long-sighted prescription told me about Accuvision. From my first phone call to Accuvision I was given hope by the fact that they have the very best and very latest technological laser equipment at their disposal, not forgetting the formidable skill of the eye surgeons.

The result of my treatment has far exceeded my expectations; for the first time in forty-one years I am able to see and function without spectacles and I will be forever grateful. I would, and do, recommend their service and expertise to anyone who suffers from defective eyesight.

Having my eyes treated at this clinic was an amazing experience. They make you feel so comfortable and relaxed from the first consultation until your final check up. The attention you receive is amazing and the final result is perfect vision. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are brilliant

On the 22nd November 2002 I was given my new mono eyesight by Accuvision treatment. On the 23rd November 2002 I awoke to find I had achieved 20/20 vision. I am 57 years old and had a prescription of -6.00 with astigmatism and -5.00. I had attended two other clinics for assessment and because I had thin corneas was declined for surgery by both. I felt depressed and beyond help! By chance I was told about Wavefront LASIK treatment at Accuvision and after a successful consultation, given with great care and professionalism, was accepted for corrective surgery. DON'T WASTE TIME GOING ELSEWHERE - Accuvision are the BEST. They use the latest technology and have the best laser treatment, taking less corneal tissue. They are the only ones I would trust with my eyes. Five Stars is the maximum award but if I could I would give them SIX! To Darius and all the wonderful and caring Staff at Accuvision - Thank you - Thank you - Thank you.

I had my consultation at Accuvision with Vik just over a week ago now I am booked in for Wednesday 27th November for Accuwave LASIK surgery. I was made to feel very comfortable at my consultation and I never thought or felt for one moment he was selling me anything. I don't have such bad eyes -4 in both but the fact that I have huge pupils made a difference and that's why I am having the accuwave treatment. Yes its extremely expensive but I don't think you can just take the chance on a good deal. I did loads of research before going ahead with my consultation and it helped me alot. This website is great so please keep posting your stories. I will let you know how it all goes next week.

I had the LASIK operation at Accuvision on 20th November 2002 and am now 1 week post-op. The results are superb and still might improve slowly. My prescription was short sight with astigmatism, Right SPH -8 CYL -1.5 AXIS 155, Left SPH -7.5 CYL -1.5 AXIS 15, very large pupils and average corneal thickness. Ultralase said they could do the op with a reasonably good chance of success, but failed to tell me I would be left with a dangerously thin cornea, and still didn't tell me when I asked them directly (after going to Accuvision). My first appointment at Accuvision was double booked, but fortunately I forgave them and went along, thankfully as I found out all about corneal thickness and large pupils. The Wavefront technology they use (incidentally also used in Canada, New Zealand and Australia) goes a long way to solving those problems. I did quite a lot of research into the subject and am glad I chose Accuvision as I have been confident in their abilities since the first consultation. It is expensive, but with an odd prescription, it is worth every penny towards the chance of a good result. Thanks to all at Accuvision, especially, Darius, Vik and Mr. Ayliffe. To those considering the op, check with the clinics when you have the consultation how much of your cornea they will leave behind (the Residual Stroma Thickness is the important part). If the answer is less than 250 microns, start worrying. This is the 'safe' lower limit, but that might not even be 'safe'. The more the better. Don't be surprised if a clinic won't tell you or just give you the total corneal thickness including flap - don't trust them. Accuvision have left me with 270 microns, so I'm pleased with that. Please e-mail me if you would like to know anymore about my experience.
