Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

First class treatment from start to finish, and just a week on from my surgery I know have 20:20 vision! Having needed glasses for the last 10 years, finally being able to wake up with perfect vision each morning is amazing!
The team were great and kept me calm throughout the procedure.

The after care is also great, and the team ensure they answer any questions you have, before and after treatment.

A big big thank you to everyone at Accuvision. After being rejected by several other laser clinics over the years I was lucky enough to find Accuvision.

The results can be described as no other than fantastic!
I am middle aged (hate to say it!) previously needed glasses for everything and now can see perfectly its wonderful.

Simon and his team at Leeds have been superb, an absolute joy to visit -infact I shall miss not going back!
The whole experience with all the Accuvision team was professional, service second to none, they are the type of people who care every step of the way – a rare breed in today’s fast moving world!

A Big Thank You

I had my eyes lasered with Accuvision just over a year ago and can honestly say it is the best thing I have ever done. The expense was a large one for me, however I was never at any point pressurized into going ahead with treatment – the advice and initial consultation was all free and I felt that I would be totally safe in the surgeons hands. So safe that I even turned up alone on the day of surgery – and when it all became too overwhelming the lovely nurse held my hand and the whole team were so attentive during and after the process.
The next day waking up, opening my eyes and being able to see was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
I have since been back for regular checkups and my eyes are still perfect now.
Highly recommended.

My name is Linda Ramsden and I have had lens implants and monovision for one year now and it’s fantastic.
On 18th March 2010 I had my assessment at Accuvision, Solihull, Birmingham, the assessment took about an hour. As I always wear contact lenses I had to leave these out for a week to give my eyes a rest for the assessment to be accurate. This I hated as my latest prescription (31.12.09) in my right eye was -12.75 (sph), -1.25 (cyl), 3.5 (axis) and my left eye -9.50 (sph), -3.00 (cyl), 1.70 (axis). As you can imagine I was extremely short-sighted and wanted to do something about it. I had the assessment and found out that I was not a candidate for laser treatment, this would have meant that laser surgery would still leave me with wearing glasses, this was not an option. So I decided to have lens implants at a cost of £5,000, which seems a lot of money but when you are spending £65.00 every month on contact lens and glasses every two years (£300.00) I would soon get my money back. The next step was to travel down to Accuvision in London to meet Mr Chad Rostron the eye consultant to assess if I am able to have lens implants.
My friend and I travelled down to London on 19th March met Mr Chad Rostron, had my assessment, I then paid and booked for lens implants, no going back now! Mr Chad Rostron explained that I would have to travel down to the Opthalmic Surgery Centre in Colindale London to have one eye operated on and four weeks later travel back down to London to have my other eye operated on. This still did not deter me from having lens implants. I felt nervous and excited but kept thinking of waking up and seeing the alarm clock next the bed, how wonderful!
My surgery dates are Wednesday 2nd May 2.30pm and Monday 28th June 1.30pm. You are advised to not travel on public transport so my husband and I travelled down on 2nd from Birmingham to London. I was very nervous but felt it was the right thing to do. We arrived at the surgery centre and I completed the necessary forms for the surgery. Mr Chad Rostron stated that I will be having my left eye operated on first as this will be my reading vision. He marked my forehead with an arrow above my left eye which seemed strange. My husband and I were taken upstairs and we sat in a ward. Here I had an enormous amount of drops in my left eye to anaesthetise it and dilate the pupil, this stung and made my eye water. I was then led by a nurse into the operating room where I had my eye anaesthetised with a local anaethestic. This involved having an injection below the eye which I must say was definitely not nice. This hurt the most. After than the surgery seemed a doddle. During the surgery I was aware of some shadows through my left eye then it was all over. A lovely nurse held my hand all the way through the operation which I was glad. After surgery I felt shocked they gave me some water and asked me to sit in a chair until I felt that I was ok to stand up. My left eye was patched and this was to stay on until the following morning. The centre gave me all the necessary drops for my eye to help recovery. We travelled home, I slept most of the way.
The following day I removed my bandage and my eye looked very sore. Can I say if you have this procedure make sure that you lie down after you take off your bandage as my head began to spin I lay down with my feet up and took it steady for the next few days. For the following few days my eye felt gritty and sore, the drops did sting but definitely helped the healing process. The following week I had a check up at Solihull Accuvision and my eye was healing superbly. As my left eye was my reading vision I did feel that I hadn’t gained much vision at all and when I put my contact lens in my right eye I did feel giddy although this took a couple of days for my brain to get used to. I could not wear my glasses this was a total no no as my head felt like it was going to spin out of control. Every day I had to put the eye drops in.
Four weeks later my husband and I travelled back to London and I had my right eye operated on. The anaethestic needle to numb my eye definitely hurt more this time. Think it’s because I knew what was coming and Ow did it hurt. The surgery as mentioned before seemed a doddle. Mr Chad Rostron did state after the surgery that my eye had bled during the surgery and the white of my eye would be red but not to worry as this would drain over the next few weeks. Mr Chad Rostron was very professional and he excels in his profession as an eye surgeon. My husband and I travelled home to Birmingham.
The following day I removed my bandage, remembering to put my feet up and take it steady. What a WOW factor this was, as soon as I took off my bandage I could see the painting on the other side of the bedroom every detail. What a WOW factor, even though I looked like I had an Orc eye from the Lord of the Rings this did not matter, my vision was perfect, I was able to read close up and then look up to see distance. FANTASTIC. I was told previously that my brain would take time to get used to monovision but it seemed to all fit into place. I had a check up at Solihull Accuvision a week later and my vision is spot on. What a feeling!! The eye drops continued for several weeks decreasing every week until no more drops. My last check up at Solihull was 3rd August and I came out of their smiling, my vision is brilliant.
A year later and my vision is spot on I feel like the luckiest person ever. I would like to thank Mr Chad Rostron for his careful surgery hands and for giving me my sight back. If I had to I would do this all over again.
Thank you Accuvision for everything.

Having worn glasses as a child and then contact lenses for 16 years, at the age of 32 I could no longer bear them in my eyes due to dryness. I desperately wanted to have laser surgery some years ago but was rejected as my corneas were too thin for the LASIK and LASEK treatments. I met Simon Falk by chance as I had read about some contact lenses which may have been worth a try. He suggested that I might be suitable for the Trans-Epithelial treatment Accuvision offer which turned out to be the case. I plucked up the courage to go ahead in May 2010 and am so pleased with the results. As I am now 50 and was at the point of needing glasses for long and short sightedness (aghhhhh!!) I also had the mono vision treatment. Initially my ‘distance’ eye was much slower than my ‘reading’ eye and I was a bit concerned although I was assured that if it didn’t correct itself (which in fact it did), the eye could be re-treated. Three months later and I have almost perfect vision – only out by +0.25 in my distance eye. I do not wear glasses at all and it’s fab!
The surgery itself took minutes and there was discomfort afterwards – not a sharp pain but more of an ache and I found it difficult of open my eyes to put the eye drops in. Just took strong pain killers. Fearing I wouldn’t sleep, I stayed up until 11pm – should have gone earlier. Slept fine and the pain was gone in the morning. Slight achiness over the next couple of days but that was all.
I would thoroughly recommend the Leeds clinic. They are very professional, re-assuring and approachable and I am so happy with the results.
