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)
- Cataract surgery
- 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
Accuvision Solihull were absolutely outstanding. About me: age 37, long sight (+3.75 and +4.25) with astigmatism and right sided squint (correctable by glasses/lenses). Glasses since age of 3 and contacts/glasses since late teens. Major problems over past 2 yrs with eye allergies and eczema-type skin, often sore and angry underneath eyes. Unable to wear contact lenses over recent months and hated thickness of glasses (which revealed squint as soon as I took them off). Nick Dash and team at Accuvision Solihull were amazing. Could not be faulted; totally professional, dedicated and reassuring. My concerns were that i would not be a candidate due to prescription, squint and allergy problems. Thorough pre-op testing for suitability showed slightly thinner than average corneas, but ok to go ahead. Told squint would be correctable with lasik, as it is corrected by contact lenses (had not realised this). I was nervous regarding the outcome, but now 3 weeks later my vision is better than 20/20! I do not need specs or lenses for anything at all! Squint has been corrected – which is just AMAZINGLY liberating and confidence-enhancing. All of my allergies have now gone; we think the contact lenses & solutions had been causing them. I am overjoyed and can’t sum it up in words. I have already referred 7 people (2 of whom have already had it done and are as delighted with their outcomes as I am). If you need reassurance, do what i did: Check out the patient testimonials and google ‘Nick Dash’. He did all my suitability tests and has played a part in restoring the vision of lots of leading sports people. Surgeons were Mr Jindal and Darius (whose surname begins with P and I can’t remember!) who had superb bedside manner and reassured me the whole way through the procedure. I feel it was well worth the money for the benefits and massive improvement in my quality of life. With the squint problem, I feel as though I have had two ops for the price of one. Fab!
I went to most of the clinics in Birmingham/Solihull and decided to go with Accuvision at Solihull, I chose them becuase they gave me by far the better advice during the test clinics that I attended. More importantly they did’nt oversell what they were offering (no short skirted ladies!). The other three clinics I attended were very focused on getting my business/money rather than treating me as a perspective patient. I felt no pressure at Accuvision to sign up to treatment. (I’m still getting calls and emails from one company even after I have told them I have had my eyes treated elsewhere) So Accuvison for pre op care was by miles the best. The operation was painless and over remarkable quickley with no fuss and the surgeon and team were top drawer. Some minor discumfort for a few days post op but hey thats minor stuff. Honestly not painful at all. The results have been fantastic – cant understand why I have not had the treatment years ago (I’m 56 and wearing glasses since 40yo). I play a lot of cricket and post op I’m really amazed how clear everything now looks when I play – My batting is marginally better!. But its all I could have expected. Yes my reading is now worse but I was pre-warned, but its a price I happy to pay given the overwhelming vision I now have. So Accuvison is the place to go – top drawer staff and treatment. Post op care marvellous and not rushed. Get your eyes done now you will not be disapointed and there is NO PAIN !! Alan
As I am naturally short sighted (approx -3D in both eyes) I only had the right eye treated. I’m using mono vision, with an optional weak contact lens for my left eye for computer use. For reading, I don’t need the lens.
After 3 days, my right eye is already better than with contact lenses.
The treatment was quicker and much less uncomfortable than I had expected. The staff were excellent, and so far, no complaints!
I am very pleased with the service. I can see what I was not able to see for last few years. It’s like Accuvision has given me a new pair of eyes.
I have just had my first week check up and I have been told I have 20/20 vision. A huge deal for someone who was totally dependent on glasses for the last 20 years. I was so impressed with the level of service from the guys and girls at Accuvision. Along with being extremely professional, they were patient, attentive and supportive with all aspects of the process. From the surgeon, to the nurses and consultants, right through to the secretary, I knew them all by name and had supportive conversations with all. From someone who had a phobia about even touching my eye (never even got up the courage to try lenses) the team at Accuvision put me at ease and helped me through the whole thing. The procedure itself is uncomfortable and a little scary but with the support of the team, the whole experience was a breeze. For anyone out there who is a little nervous about the process or just wanting to find out more, you can’t go wrong with Accuvision. I wish I knew how easy it all was because I would have probably done it years ago.
