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.

2. AccuVision Treatments
As well as common laser vision correction treatments – such as LASEK and LASIK with ultra-accurate Wavefront diagnostics – AccuVision also offers lens replacement surgery, including the UK’s most common surgical procedure: cataract surgery.
- LASIK eye surgery
- Trans-Epithelial Surface Treatment
- Lens replacement surgery
- ICL surgery (implantable contact lenses)

- Amblyopia (lazy eye treatment)
So is it safe? AccuVision promises highly sophisticated, automated devices, with world-class Wavefront technology and the Alcon WaveLight EX500 Excimer laser. According to the clinic’s own study of 500 patients, everyone achieved at least driving standard vision following surgery (including repeat surgery).
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
My visit to accuvision was my first step to see if anyone could help with my very poor vision that I have suffered all my life from birth. My Vision was a -28 in my left eye and a -16 in my right eye which was worse than expected when examined at accuvision in Parsons Green. With eyes this bad I knew I would not qualify for laser and just wondered if there was anything that anyone could do. Joan and Vikesh at accuvision treated me with such respect and class they are a credit to the company.
After being examined by Mr Chad Rostron he stated that he could help me with my eyes and the only option for me was to have inplantable contact lenses. I jumped at the chance for the potential of 20/20 in my right eye and correction to my left eye.
Went through the surgery for my left eye in September 2008 and as much as I did not want the curgery the results were out of this world my left eye went from a -28.00 to a -1.00 as it currently is and the vision and comfort is absolutely amazing, my right eye was then operated in december 2008 and was hoping for 20/20 vision after the surgery everything was fine and uncomfortable as expected for a period, as this wore of the vision got better and better and after todays check up with Mr Rostron and Vikesh my right eye is now -0.25 from -16.00 which gives me 20/20 vision.
They are truly amazing at accuvision and are so professional they made me feel so welcome and comfortable that they have changed my life forever. I cannot put into words how they have changed my life and that now I do not have to worry about contact lenses just enjoy the best vision I have ever had.
If anyone else thinks that you cannot be helped I know nobody as bad eyes as I had and they helped me to feel unbelievable and no words can describe how I feel.
I would like to Thank everbody at accuvision and the surgery clinic for the way they you treated me and for changing my life forever.
Thank you Mr Rostron, Vikesh and Joan for doing all you could for me it is so appreciated.
I had both eyes treated on 15 Oct 08, original prescription was both -2.75, very mild astigmatism. My eyesight is now 6/4.5 in left eye, and 6/6 in right. I had previously worn Ortho-K lens (lens worn overnight that correct your vision when removed in the morning), but wanted something more permanent.Thus, I had high expectations, which were mostly met.
I choose Accuvision mainly due to them being the only clinic that offered trans epi LASEK, a treatment I was keen on due to my low prescription, contact sports, and job (emergency services). They were also competitively priced, with an experience surgeon (Mr Rostron), who reassured me than a Wavefront Optimised (as opposed to Wavefront Customised), would be better in my case, and I was pleased I wasn’t simply ‘lumbered’ with Wavefront as other clinics do.
The downsides are that what the surgeon said on treatment day contradicted what the optomerist said (I was told I could, theoretically, go blind). I also had a bad reaction to the eye-drops (Tobredex), resulting in pounding headaches and elevated eye pressure. There was also a lot of pain and discomfort for the first week or so after surgery, I would recommend taking at least 1 month off work, esp. if you have a manual job (the ‘few days’ quoted by laser eye surgery companies is misleading). I had a consultation at AVC, where the surgey was £1,000 more, but expect that many of the check ups there would have been with the surgeon rather than optomerist. I expect the same is true of Harley St clinics. That said, the optomerists at Accuvision are very helpful and knowledgeable.
2 months on I am very pleased, thank-you to all the staff at Accuvusion. However, I would warn people that there are risks, so think carefully about surgery.
Any questions, please email me.
Had my surgery last month and now have 20/20 vision. The procedure itself is very quick and pain free, of course the vision is ‘foggy’ for a while but still better than without my contact lenses or glasses. The next morning I could see clearly and every day for the first week vision improves. I would definitely recommend the Accuvision clinic to anyone considering this surgery, you won’t regret it!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank wholeheartedly the staff at Accuvision Fulham.
I can say without equivocation, that the service standard I received from consultation to post op review, have been nothing short of exemplary and should be hailed as the platinum experience from a private medical procedure.
I was a moderate myopic and opted for a surface procedure Trans-Epi-Lasik to maintain robust integrity of the cornea. Yes there was some transient pain and dry eye problems but within 3 months of the operation my vision was superior to it’s correction with contacts before. In other words the results have exceeded any reasonable expectation and with something such as one’s vision it’s like a continual celebration, no kidding.
The staff, big up to Vik he knows the score, were amazing. I was never hurried they were always available for answering questions either by phone or in person. They provided total re-assurance with no hard sell and complete honesty with all clinical questions I had, and I had a lot! I did a lot of research myself to feel comfortable with the procedure and glad I did as it corroborated the information I received from the team. My vision is now 20/15 pushing 20/12. Preposterously life affirming!
I even went into the local pub after my last check up and had a good chat and a beer with the guys there. Awesome, simply awesome! Life is different now for us myopes.
I visited Accuvision on the recommendation of a friend who’s wife had surgery there. I found the team relaxed, confident and informed at every stage. The consultation wasn’t salesy, and procedure was clean and simple and the aftercare was genuine and helpful.
It is a lot of money, but if you have decided to have LES I would 100% recommend Accuvision
