Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Having had my surgery just 48hrs ago, the quality & proffesionalism of Accuvision really can not be underestimated.

My initial (free) consultation was in April, Accuvision unlike other companies do *not* have a sales team, their optometrists answer the phone and make bookings and conduct the examination which was incredibly thorough and they told me there and then what the cost was going to be.

Even though I decided to book there and then, they told me that there was no pressure and said I was more than welcome to go away and think about it overnight.

The proceedure whilst *uncomfortable* was basically painless and took less than 5 mins per eye and having arrived at 9am, I was back on the street without glasses by 10am. Whilst the improvement is instantaneous, it wasn’t until the follow up appointment at 9.30 the next day when they removed the ‘bandage contact lenses’ and had an eye test that I realised I had perfect 20/20 vision (all be it a tiny bit foggy which is slowly clearing away)

Like many people, the thought of having eye surgery is daunting, and the usual questions and concerns of ‘what if I go blind’ or ‘what if something happens’ where foremost in my mind, however, I understand that no one has ever gone blind through surgery and certainly not thorugh Accuvision, and I believe that the only complications tend to be with those who already have abnormal problems with their eye’s above and beyond simply being long or short sighted.

Unlike other companies, Accuvision will treat up to -10 prescription for short sightedness and if you are over that they also have other options too.

Thousands of people have said it’s the best decision that they ever made and wished they’d done it sooner, and I for one whole heartedly agree with them!

After finally coming to the end of my tether with my glasses provider, I decided to go for treatment over Christmas 09. My Dad had had laser eye surgery around 8 years ago with Accuvision, so they were an obvious choice. My consultation was clear and concise, and I was told that laser surgery may not entirely correct my vision, as I was a -8.00. I decided to go ahead, because even a very small prescription would be better than what I had currently.
My surgery was booked for mid Feb. I arrived early, and was promptly seen to. The actual procedure was around 10-15 mins, then I was up and out of the clinic before my actual appointment time.
First check up next day, they were happy enough to take the bandage contact lenses off, and by my week follow up, I was amazed at what I could see. I can now legally drive without and glasses, which is something we weren’t sure we were going to achieve.
It took about a month before i stopped reaching out every morning to put my glasses on, but its certainly the best money I’ve ever spent. Thank you to the whole staff, they were amazing, and made the experience as comfortable and informative as possible.

I am almost 4 months post Trans-Epithelial LASIK and couldn’t be happier with the result.

Choosing to have laser eye surgery is a daunting decision but Accuvision staff are extremely friendly and helpful, which left me feeling at ease before, during and after the surgery.

I opted for the trans-epithelial procedure so that I would not have a flap. The surgery itself is over very quickly and is not painful at all, it is just a slightly uncomfortable feeling. I was warned that after this procedure I would be in more pain for the first few days than with the LASIK procedure, and my eyes would take longer to settle. I am 100% happy with my decision. Yes the first night was extremely uncomfortable, I stayed in a nearby hotel and was very glad I had somebody with me. My eyes watered a lot, were very sore and sensitive to light. After a fairly sleepless night they were a little less sore the following morning for my next day check-up. Within a few days they were comfortable and becoming less sensitive to bright light. The clear vision was instant and has improved over several months. I absolutely love not wearing glasses and contact lenses. I do a lot of travelling and have always hated having to pack so many pairs of contact lenses and glasses, in a few weeks I am heading off on my first trip without them and I cannot wait!

If you opt for Trans-Epithelial LASIK you will be required to use drops for a longer period of time than with LASIK. This didn’t bother me at all as the drops are easy to use, but it is important to follow the directions carefully.

I now have 20.20 vision!

Thank you so much to the Accuvision team!!!

I ATTENDED THE LONDON CLINIC FOR MY CONSULTATION AND WAS SEEN BY VIC. HAVING ALREADY HAD CONSULTATIONS AT A COUPLE OF OTHER COMPANIES I WAS VERY PLEASED BY THE PROFESSIONALISM BUT FRIENDLINESS THAT ALL AT THE CLINIC DISPLAYED. I WAS ALSO IMPRESSED BY THE HONESTY AND OPENNESS SHOWN.I DECIDED VERY QUICKLY THAT I WOULD PROCEED WITH THE SURGERY AND RETURNED WITHIN A WEEK. I WAS AGAIN IMPRESSED WITH THE PROFESSIONALISM AND HONESTY OF THE SURGEON. THE PROCEDURE WAS QUICK AND COMPLETELY PAINLESS AND AFTER ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY BLURRED I HAD 20/20 VISION. I RETURNED FOR MY CHECK UPS AND NOW SOME 10 WEEKS ON I AM SO PLEASED THAT I DECIDED TO GET THIS DONE AND THAT I CHOSE ACCUVISION.

I was highly impressed, not only with the result of the laser eye surgery
and the speed at which my sight improved, but also by the professionalism of
the team and the way that, throughout the whole process, every step of the
way was talked through calmly and clearly, thereby negating any possible
concerns. Also there were no long waits.
