1. Review of AccuVision Laser Eye Clinic
Established in 2001, AccuVision is a popular destination for people seeking quality, affordable laser eye surgery. This clinic currently operates in five cities nationwide: London, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and Newcastle, and has performed over 40,000 treatments and counting.
What did independent inspectors find? According to the CQC’s latest report, there were no complaints between August 2016 and September 2017 from 1,011 refractive eye procedures carried out at AccuVision.
Is there anything else I should know? Most of the eye surgeons on our site enjoy five-star ratings, and the same is true for AccuVision. But it’s worth noting we only have 10 reviews for Dr Prashant Jindal.
Patients always want to find an ophthalmologist they feel comfortable with. That’s why it’s always a good idea to do your own research by trying to meet with your surgeon at an initial consultation, and many clinics offer these for free.

So is it safe? AccuVision promises highly sophisticated, automated devices, with world-class Wavefront technology and the Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer laser.

3. AccuVision Laser Eye Clinic Prices
AccuVision’s prices are reasonable rates in laser eye surgery. On average, 800 patients told Lasik Eyes they paid £1,200 (per eye) for laser eye surgery, and £3,615 (per eye) for lens replacement surgery (including cataract surgery) – few clinics have lower starting prices.
AccuVision doesn’t publish a fixed price list, but here are the costs you can expect for the most popular eye surgeries:
- Consultation Price: Free for initial consultation
- LASIK Price: Average cost £2,400 for both eyes
- Trans-Epi Price: Average cost £2,400 for both eyes
- C3R Treatment Price: Average cost £2,000 per eye
Here’s how these prices compare to the eye surgery quotes offered by other clinics:

Eye surgery isn’t an insignificant cost for most people. That’s why AccuVision offers a 10 month finance option, which lets you spread the costs of surgery after the initial deposit into smaller monthly fees. You will need to pass a credit check with Hitachi Capital to gain approval for this payment plan.
That said, most clinics provide finance plans for much longer – up to three years, and also team up with health insurers who may cover at least some of the costs of the surgery (which AccuVision doesn’t).

Our Testimonials
I went to Accuvision for a (free) consultation yesterday (20/3/02). I was impressed by the experience – pleasant environment, helpful staff, and running to schedule. The consultation took over an hour, and seemed very thorough, including both corneal mapping and use of the aberrometer to measure internal refractive problems. The opthalmologist identified lenticular astigmatism on top of my -8 myopia. They were also able to tell me my corneal thickness (over 600 microns), the flap thickness (150 microns) and the level of ablation (114 microns); it’s comforting to know that over half of my corneal thickness will be left untouched the the op. They also pointed out that older laser technologies (as used by some other clinics) would have ablated over 200 microns for my prescription.
They were comfortable answering all my questions about what might go wrong, and there was absolutely no hard sell, which surprised me given that the consultation was free. They quoted me 1500 per eye (and they firmly encourage doing both eyes together), with a 20% chance of needing retreatment to refine the vision, which would be provided at no extra cost. Because of the level of my prescription, the initial surgery would not use the fabled wavefront technology, as the astigmatism is only a small fraction (2%) of the prescription. Any reatreatment, however, would probably use wavefront analysis, as the astigmatism would be more significant. My spectacle prescription had included prism, which the opthalmologist found to be unnecessary. However, he pointed out that using wavefront analysis, it would have been possible to counteract a certain level of prism as part of the treatment.
Another good feature of Accuvision is the length of the waiting lists. I was able to get my consultation within a week, and was offered the option of a surgery date in three weeks time.
I left feeling reassured that the benefits of LASIK outweighed the risks, and that I would be happy for Accuvision to do the treatment. However, I think that I will have another consultation somewhere else first; not because I saw anything to concern me at at Accuvision, but simply because a second opinion seems sensible when contemplating surgery on something as valuable as one’s eyes.
From the moment I arrived at this hospital I knew that I had made the correct choice.The professionalism of all the staff was without equal.I was made fully aware of the procedure and explained all the exact steps from consultation to surgery itself.The surgery was virtually painless and was conducted very quickly with a thorough examination following the operation.I was delighted with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to my friends or anyone who is thinking of going for eye surgery.Ten out of ten
I had Wavefront LASIK surgery last week and it was the best discision I have ever made. I had over -5 perscription in both eyes, and recently been told never to wear my contact lenses again as I’ve been wearing them too long and they have damaged my eyes. I’m only 20 so knowing I need to rely on my glasses full time was a bit of a blow so I looked into Laser surgery. The surgery was a complete success, I now have 20/20 vision. It’s amazing, I can’t thank the team at Accuvision enough they have changed my life, I thoughly recommend this clinic to anyone, but I suggest you do your revision on the surgery itself before hand, as even though it was the most exciting thing I’ve ever done, it’s also the scariest!
I have returned today after having laser surgery to both eyes at Accuvision and I have nothing but praise for the whole team who work there. They filled you with so much trust and the results have been amazing.
I have my eyes fixed by AccuVision last Wednesday (27 Feb).
With a thinning cornea on my left eye AccuVision were very good at being able to meet my requirements.
I have -4.5 in both eyes and at 42 I opted for my left eye to be under corrected so that I am able to put off wearing glasses for age induced long sightness.
The AccuVision team are great and there is little I can add to the other comments.
My ability to see is priceless and I am very pleased with the results. There are less costly companies offering LASIK without “Wavefront guide” but you only have one pair of eyes and you should not cut corners.
If you are thinking of having your eyesight repaired Go for it…
I wish I had done it earlier.
