Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

Very very good as previously reported

After much research and consultations at a number of clinics I decided on Accuvision for my laser surgery.

Accuvision were by far:

1) the most helpful in terms of detailed advice,
2) the least pushy,
3) offered the best value, and
3) worked with outstanding technology (including the fastest laser)

All the staff at every point before and after the procedure were extremely professional and knowledgeable.

An important consideration for me was the decision of whether or not to go with the Intralase procedure for the cutting of the flap. There is a lot of research on this, and the sound advice I received enforced my view based on research that this was not necessary at all.

After a few weeks, my vision is now better than 20/20 in both eyes, and I am absolutely pleased with the results.

All in all, an excellent experience.

I recommend Accuvision completely.

I had consultations with Optical Express and Ultralase prior to visiting the Solihull Accuvision clinic. OE were competent enough, but still left me with the whole feeling of being on a conveyor belt and whilst I couldn’t overly fault them I didn’t really have the confidence to go ahead with them. Ultralase were just appallingly inefficient at the consultation and I had no desire to go to them for treatment.

I was on the point of just not bothering and having a new bathroom suite with the money instead when I did one final trawl of the internet and found Accuvision. Solihull is really close to me so I gave them a call and they fitted me in the next morning for a consultation. As soon as I walked through the door I just felt so much happier, it was more intimate, personal and relaxed. Had my consultation with Nick who was very thorough and professional and explained absolutely everything to me in so much more detail than either of the others had. I just felt totally reassured by him and believed in what he was telling me, at no point did I feel he was after a sale, he just told me what my eyes were, what they needed and what it would cost. An hour later and I was booking my treatment for the following week.

The day of surgery and I was really nervous, but very reassured when I got there to see a few people already recovering. The surgery team were fantastic, talked me all the way through the procedure, which wasn’t painful or uncomfortable, just rather odd. Within an hour of being there I was on my way back home reading out number plates, much to the irritation of my family after ten minutes *g*.

I wasn’t one of those who opened their eyes and saw everything crystal clear from the start, my eyes just gradually got better and better over the next 24 hours. By the next morning I was driving, although there was still a slight blurriness at the edge of my vision, but within two days everything had become crystal clear. Over the next three weeks my eyes have just got better and better and I now have better than 20/20 vision, I haven’t’ seen this well for over 25 years.

I can’t give enough praise to the clinic, they have been everything I could want or expect. Before having surgery I very wrongly thought that one of the big three would be the way to go, how very wrong I was. This may have been a small clinic, but it was so much more personal and reassuring and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I have just had my second cross-linking treatment for my Keratoconus and thought I would share my experience, especially as cross-linking is quite a new procedure.

I was diagnosed with Keratoconus by my High Street Optician – from this point I spent a lot of time (as many of us do) researching what it meant on the internet. As I had been diagnosed at an early stage I was keen to look at some of the processes that intended to prevent the keratoconus getting worse. After reading up – i had to appreciate that any process would not give me ‘perfect vision’ but the emphasis is on arresting the progression of the coning.

I found a few places that offered Cross Linking – I was attracted by the concept of the procedure and the fact that the procedure was done while I was awake and was a quick process.

I ended up going to Accuvision in Fulham. I live in Hampshire so I had to make quite a few trips up to London – but it was worth it. Everyone at Accuvision was fantastic. The pre op, op and post op care was faultless. This daunting treatment was explained every step of the way and the surgeons talk you through the process as it happens (which lasted about an hour all-in-all).

The op itself is totally painless. The most discomfort I had was in the first night, with the eye being quite sore. But eye drops and pain killers help with this and from the second night onwards I had not trouble sleeping.

I had my left eye done in November and that has been a massive success. The vision has stabilised and I can now only need a weak prescription for that eye. I am now waiting for my right eye to settle down before I get my final prescription.

Thank you Accuvision. This treatment has undoubtedly improved my quality of life.

Before the treatment I was – 2.25 and -2.75 and had a slight astigmatism in one eye. I received the treatment yesterday in the Solihull clinic and today I have 20/15 vision (better than 20/20).

I originally went to another clinic but I came out very disappointed as they gave me 3 options, completely confused me with technology and basically said what treatment I received was down to my budget !! I spoke to a friend of mine who had his eyes corrected in January with Accuvision and he recommended them. I booked in for the following day and the consultation was very friendly, extremely professional and the Surgeon explained what treatment would work for me, he then showed me on the screens what I needed and more importantly what he recommended.

On the day of the treatment I was slightly nervous but the surgery team were excellent. They explained what was happening, what I should expect and completely put me at ease. I left the clinic and I suffered no discomfort at all. I could see brilliantly the same day but I was very careful not too get carried away and I followed their instructions.

Today I have had my follow up consultation and once again they were extremely friendly and professional, I couldn’t be happier with the results. It all seems too easy, no pain at all, I wish I had it done years ago.
