Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Not being one to rush into things, I’ve left it a while before posting this feedback. I visited two providers in January 2008. One (well known and heavily advertised) did not impress me and seemed to be concerned with the hard sell. Accuvision did impress me, but the cutting of the flap bit of Lasik put me off (I have been a Moorfields patient for many years but had never had any invasive treatment). Finally, six months later I returned, and had the treatment. This was after taking advice from various sources and speaking with Accuvision staff, all of whom were, are, excellent.

The treatment was quick and entirely painless. Indeed, it was fascinating. All over in what seemed like 10 minutes. Minus 6 plus astigmatism cured. I see very well without correction but need readers (to be expected when you are my age). This is absolutely no inconvenience. I had worn specs or contact lenses since I was 13. The liberation is fantastic. I can swim and see where I am going, and easily wear sunglasses without complicated prescriptions. It has made an incredible difference to my life and self image, something people with similarly high prescriptions will understand, I’m sure.

I was helped by reading feedback on this page, and hope this helps others. The treatment was quick and, for me, entirely pain free. Accuvision impressed me hugely. And I am equally appreciative of all those back room people who developed and refined lasers for medical treatment. It is a kind of miracle to see, unaided, after nearly forty years of high prescription lenses

It is estimated that 160 million people have partially impaired vision on this planet. I hope sooner than later the proliferation of this technology and the economics of scale will allow all of them to benefit from this wonderful technology. Life changing! The only annoying aspect is when I am searching for my pair of glasses in the dark after the alarm went off in the morning, only to realize after some time that the reason i cannot find them is i do not need them anymore!!! Thank you for your help!

I would first love to thank Accuvision for giving me a new lease of Life. I chose them because they were the only clinic able to correct my vision, I am -11.5 in both eyes; other clinics were offering me the implantable lens which is something I personally did not want to have.
Throughout every stage i was given the best guidance and care by their experienced staff!They were very honest from the start and said that because of my high prescription I may need glasses for some things, and I was totally prepared for this, but it has been a week since I had them done and although still sometimes hazy (this will go over time)they have told me I will not need glasses!!
It still feels so surreal to think that I can see for the first time in 22 Years, its truly amazing and I cant thank them enough for changing my life!I have had this whole new world opened up to me!

Thank you for putting the sparkle back in my eyes :O)

i went to 4 different clinics for consultations and liked this one the most. THey are very professional and what is most important dont push you to make the decision. the lady that did my consultation was absolutely lovely and brilliant. Staff is very professional and attentive. My initial screening was just about 1 hour to check for suitability – and i passed :D

On the day of the surgery – i arrived, to the clinic, and saw two ladies haiving had the treatment done before me and they both were very happy – it’s ur eyes that will be changed at the end of the day so u have to be sure if u want to proceed, my prescription was -5.25 and -4.75, and now am perfect! The whole procedure was very quick, NO pain at all.

After the surgery i was warned my eyes may get blurry, gritty and watery, but i have not experieced any of it. i felt absolutely no pain afterwards at all. The downside is the eyes feel a littlebit dry when you wake up – like u went to bed in contacts, but the drops i was given are helping and it feels great :D would definitely recommend it, vision is nearly perfect, it may get out of focus sometimes, but eyes are still adjusting, wish i had it done earlier!

I have been wearing glasses since the age of 2 and was a -13 before my eyes were treated, i was starting to become intolerant to contact lenses and was running out of options which meant that i may have had to give up some hobbies. No other clinic would treat me because of my prescription until I found accuvision. It has now been 2 years and I still have excellent vision and no problems, my night vision has improved as a result.

The staff are lovely and friendly and always at the end of a phone should you need any advice. I have continued to go to the clinic for my yearly check-up’s because the quality of care is so good.

Thank-you so much for giving me my sight back.
