Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Fed up of being totally reliant on glasses every waking moment? I was. Frightened to undergo Eye Correction laser surgery-just in case…..? I definitely was, especially as my cousin was left partially blind in one eye 10 years ago by one of the ‘other’ Major companies.

Well, dont be!! look no further than this amazing clinic- ACCUVISION.
at age 52, I believed myself too old for surgery, but Daryus soon assured me that their most recent patient had been 79! so my ‘journey’ began. i arranged a consultation with the unbelievably able (and humorous!) Simon-the Optometrist with all the answers-and more!-at the lovely, relaxed Wetherby Clinic. that was feb’11. on being informed i was a suitable candidate, i booked the appropriate surgery for my particular requirements; that was the Mono-Vision Laser treatment whereby my stronger eye undertakes the distance vision and my weaker one the reading aspect.with hindsight, my only mistake was booking for April 13th- two months hence-so that i could organise time off from work. it gave me too long to worry about things!
so April 13th came and i confess to being terrified, but Simon calmed me and inserted the numbing eye drops. then came my turn and off i went up the stairs to my ‘life changing’ moment. In what seemed to be less than 10 minutes the job was done and i entered the recovery room. there was a very scary moment when my contact lens bandages came adrift, but this wonderful Team swiftly and expertly steered me back to surgery and corrected this set back! (THANKS TEAM!!) I later discovered this was due to my not blinking enough-or properly!
Back home, i followed all the rules and retired strajght to bed-armed with two sets of eye drops to soothe and protect my ‘new eyes.’ i wont pretend i have not suffered discomfort-especially the ‘Dry eye syndrome’ but proper and regular blinking saw me through (cheers, Simon!)
Well, that about portrays my particular experience at this amazing Clinic. Hope it helps those who are close to taking the major step. Three weeks and three days after surgery, I am slowly but surely adapting to my new, non-blurry world without glasses. Vipee! it is now MY choice if I ever want to wear them in the future because I now have at least 20/20 vision!! THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE AT ACCUVISION!!!

I’m writing this 3 weeks after undergoing LASIK wavefront treatment at Accuvision in London to correct a complex prescription of -10 in both eyes.

I’m delighted to say I have had a successful outcome and I do not need glasses or contact lenses anymore. after being dependent on this since I was 8 years old all I have to say is…Hooray!!!

I am thoroughly pleased with the professional service and care I received from the Accuvision team. I would like to say thank you to them for a job well done and especially to Vikash Patel for his thorough assessments throughout.
I chose Accuvision as they highlighted all the potential options available to me and importantly they outlined the risks and benefits to me clearly in my initial free consultation. They gave me the confidence to make an informed decision and put me under no pressure to have the treatment.

If you are planning to go for laser eye treatment and especially if you do have a complex prescription like I did then I would definitely recommend Accuvision.

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old, and contact lenses since I was about 15. I’m almost 21 now, and had started to get fed up with planning my life around glasses and contacts. That’s no exaggeration – if I wanted to go out on the Saturday night, I couldn’t wear my lenses for a few days before in order to ensure my eyes would be ready. I went for a consultation at the London clinic, and everybody was so helpful, friendly and welcoming that I knew I had chosen the right place to have surgery. I booked for the 20th April 2011, and on surgery day, I was so nervous, and also quite frightened, but with the help of my very supportive parents, we took the trip to Parsons Green. I was instantly made to feel at ease and was looked after the whole way through the process. During the surgery, I spoke to the team around me which helped keep me at ease. If anybody has ever wondered what you can see during the surgery, I would describe it as a kaleidoscope; a mixture of colours going in and out of focus, nothing scary at all. The process DOESN’T hurt, and with just a little bit of dry eye in the few days after my surgery, I already have 20/20 vision and am enjoying life without the need for glasses or contacts. It was a big deal to me; I felt very self-conscious all of the time wearing glasses, so thank you very much Accuvision for a fantastic experience.

At 63 years of age, you sometimes have to get up in the night to visit the smallest room in the house. As I passed the radio alarm clock, without glasses, I would have to bend down and put my face right up to it to read the time.
Now, after having implants inserted, I still have to get up some nights, but to find out the time, I just have to lift my head off the pillow and look at the clock.
It is remarkable the difference it has made to my life. I can drive and read, two major factors in my life, without the need for spectacles – the first time in over twenty years.
Accuvision were simply brilliant. At no time did I feel under pressure to agree to treatment, everything was explained in a language that I understood and all the staff were so very friendly.
The operation to insert the lenses, was done on two separate days. I was a day patient in a London Hospital. It was no more uncomfortable than going to the dentist and each time I was back in the recovery room within half an hour.
If you are thinking of having this treatment done, be reassured that you are in the best hands possible.

I had laser treatment about a 1.5 months ago and I’m so happy to be without glasses/contacts!
The whole team was very nice and I felt safe at every moment of the process. I really appreciated how everybody made sure that I was informed about every step they would take and that they answered all my questions and concerns.
Thank you Accuvision-Team!
