Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I can start by saying that, like a lot of other people that end up having their procedure at Accuvision, my eyesight was very poor. -8.5 with around a -3.0 astigmatism. Blind as a bat.
After extensive research on the internet and in usergroups on the procedural options, the technology, the risks, the clinics and the surgeons and after three whole years of thinking about it, I finally booked an appointment for a consultation with Accuvision.
I felt the consultation, which was mostly with Vik, was very professional, unrushed and very truthful – he started off by saying that being completely free of glasses or contact lenses may not be a realistic outcome. However, after the tests, which showed that luckily I had above average corneal thickness, Vik said that they could at least aim for that outcome.

I had been wearing Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses for most of the past 20 years (I am now 38) and so had to wear glasses for a month before the procedure. I finally had the procedure on the 5th of March and I was very very nervous. Less so about the procedure itself and more about the outcome. The procedure is very scary but completely painless. The outcome though is worth absolutely every bit of research that I did and far outweighs the cost. I will be attending my one month check up on Monday and I fully expect to be told that I am 20/20 or maybe just slightly less. It's been that way from about the second day. I have had halo's around bright lights but that was expected with my prescription and is improving day by day. It was never bad enough to impact driving at night.

I can't recommend to anyone that they should definitely have the procedure as it is very much dependent on your personal circumstances. However, I would say that if you are going to have it done, you should seriously consider Accuvision and at the very least, see them for a consultation, it is free after all.

I am probably the most cynical person in the country but had been wanting to have my eyes lasered for some time but fear and not wanting to become a “guinea-pig” delayed me.I have only just had it done less than two weeks ago.I have experienced no pain whatsoever and hardly any inconvenience at all,in fact I am writing this text with no glasses for the first time in 30years.I was incredibly long sighted and found wearing spectacles a drag,not from vanity,butinconvenience,when it rained I couldn't see properly and they would steam up when I went indoors.I also used to suffer lots of headaches but I haven't had one since the treatment!Other companies would not or could not help my very long sight but Accuvision did.They were so reassuring and professional right from the offset,explaining everything in a way that I could understand.I would recommend them highly and even more they are the most friendly bunch of people you could ever hope to meet.
Thanks for changing my life Accuvision!

I decided to have my eye op done with Accuvision after did my research about them and reading their excellent reviews online. Came to Accuvision for a consultation on March 18, 2004 and my op was on the following week, March 25. Nick Jacobs is a very friendly surgeon and everybody at Accuvision are great and helpful towards me that time. They made me feel relax during the operation and tobe honest the op was painless that time. I could say, you would feel more pain going to the dentist (to have a polish or fill) than having your lasik eyes done .
Few days after the surgery, my vision was fluctuating and hazy a bit.This was normal as it would improve in the next couple days. One week after the op, I have an excellent vision, at night time a bit of haloes and starbursts but not much really, doesn’t really disturb me at all in looking at road at night. I was a bit paranoid at the first week with my eyes, got my eye shield cover on for 8 nights, wearing goggles when I have my shower /bath, wearing sunglasses in/outside the house.

Now almost 2 weeks after the op. I can tell you that I am very happy with my new eyes. I could watch the telly without my specs, driving my car wearing my trendy sunglasses. At night time, the haloes glares and starbursts not bad at all, they seems normal to me as far as I can see, I cant tell you much different the glares, haloes from when I was still wearing specs before with my new eyes now.

I am very happy with the result. Now I have a pair of wonderful eyes with perfect vision.
Accuvision have made my dream come true, thank you for all the excellent care.

I am an Optometrist who has worn contact lenses for 29 years. Having reviewed LASIK at most of the clinics, there was no doubt in my mind from a professional and personal opinion where I should have surgery.
I had expectations of only being able to see as well as I did in contact lenses, this has been surpassed. It was painless and the sequence of events mirroed what all members of staff spoke about.
My patients who enquire about LASIK will be referred in only one direction.

I have worn glasses since the age of 7 – 17 and contact lenses for the last 12 years and have been wanting my eyes “done” for as long as I care to remember. I was told about wavefront by my optician and that it could treat lower prescriptions and astigmatism etc… This is how I came across Accuvision. I had 3 consultations before my surgery last July and I have gone from -9 / -9.75 with astigmatism to 20/20. It is the most amazing thing I have ever been through (even childbirth – and I'm about to do that again!!!) NO PAIN, NO DISCOMFORT, I was done on a Monday and back at work and driving on the Thursday. It did take a few months for the night vision to settle but at my 6 month check up everything was perfect and has been since. I would highly recommend Accuvision to anyone considering laser surgery.
