Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I had lasik done on my eyes early 2010 by accuvision the leeds branch. I went to accuvision after reading lasik-eye reviews and reading fda reports on the laser equipment used. My assessment at the time was that they had the best statistics for long-sighted patients even taking the very competative price into account. The service was outstanding both before and after. My pre-lasik prescription was +3.0 and +2.5 with significant astigmatism in one eye. I was discharged later with a very mild long sight prescription of +0.25 in each eye. Today (jan 2014) i went to an independent optician for the first time since the treatment for a checkup. No prescription and better than 20:20. Very pleased i went with accuvision.

My experience with Accuvision has been very good indeed. I researched various clinics and was recommended Parsons Green (London) by a friend. The clinic team were honest about the results I could expect ( I had -5.50 and -7.00 with astigmatism). They said that my short sight may be not as sharp but my long sight would be much improved.

The results have exceeded my expectations – after 30 years of contact lenses and expensive glasses my long sight is excellent – I can see to drive and shop and I am so happy.

For close work I do need glasses but just the cheap ‘off the shelf’ type and only a +1.00 as I only need a slight magnification. The aftercare has been excellent – very thorough and I feel as if I have really been looked after. I am very happy with my experience.

I think the surgery I required wasn’t too expensive, £1500 or so (can’t remember exactly, was 2 years ago) but costs can vary depending on exactly what you require individually. I had astigmatism and I think was about -2 on each side

I kept meaning to come online and post a review, because I felt the customer service here was exceptional – the best I’ve come across in the many companies I’ve encountered in a long time.

I was treated as an individual all the way through the process, and got a personal service. The technologies in use were the most modern available, and they put me at ease. As a scientifically-minded person who had researched the treatment well, I was very much put at ease by their willingness and ability to engage in conversation about the more technical aspects of the procedure – I felt very confident in their ability as experts in the field.

No-one wants to take chances when it comes to their eyes, and as such I did my due diligence by doing lots of research on the topic, and satisfying myself that there were practically no risks worth considering when dealing with a professional outfit like Accuvision, I decided to go ahead with a consultation.

The consultation didn’t include any hard-selling tactics, which I was very pleased about, and which was just one reason I was happy to deal with Accuvision and place my booking for surgery that week

Pricing was straight forward – I found them very upfront with me about pricing, was given a simple “take-it-or-leave-it” price and didn’t feel I was being “squeezed” or that any sort of moroccan bazaar style haggling was in place.

They advice given covered every aspect which I think the average person might wonder about, and they guided me completely through what I should do pre and post-treatment.

My tip to anyone getting laser surgery is to get a valium prescribed legally if possible. It’s an amazing drug when used properly on a rare occasion like this and not abused or overused, and really helps you to totally relax during the procedure (which is very short and quick – just a few minutes!) you’re asked to try not to blink during some stages of the procedure, and I personally think the valium helped me relax and do this easier than I would have without. (I’m not normally prone to using medication of any kind, but my sister gave me the tip, telling me her laser surgery practice in australia gave her one, and I should do same as it helps, so I did)

Follow-up appointments were included in the price, and I was given the same thorough level of service at these appointments.

The company director was on site during one of my follow-up appointments, and was happy to chat further with me.

Accuvision is I think the only company of any type which I go out of my way to recommend to people, I only wish the companies which I deal with in other sectors adopted the same business style and levels of service.

Final word: there is nothing you can spend the money on that will make as much of a difference to your life. Most people are primarily “visual”, and experience the world around them through their eyes. If your sight is crippled with poor vision, so is your experience of life and the world around you. Even with glasses, you’re rarely experiencing perfect vision, as you can’t keep glasses constantly clean. 5 minutes surgery can unleash your eyes’ true capability. Do it!

Original prescription: Right eye: -4.00D with 0.50D astigmatism Left eye: -1.75D with -2.00D astigmatism.

After consultations with other providers I was disillusioned as it seemed eye surgery was a marketing exercise! After looking to see what else was available further afield we found Accuvision.

The difference was evident from first walking into the waiting room – professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unlike other clinics where surgery type had been left to me to decide based on the cost, some clear guidance was given – with an explanation why. The ‘signing up’ part wasn’t pressured, the cost was the same as elsewhere, (without ‘this week only’ special offers) and there was a range of surgery dates.

The surgery itself was quick, painless and with a lot of reassurance when nerves were evident! The aftercare was also good. Accuvision was well worth traveling a little further for – the service and experience are head and shoulders above the mainstream providers.

My vision is better now than it was with contact lenses and I’d recommend Accuvision to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

Laser eye surgery is the best decision I have ever made. After a disasterous consultation elsewhere I found Accuvision and have been blown away since I arrived.
My prescription was a tricky +4.00 hyperopia with -5.50 astigmatism and they fixed it no problem!
I am so happy with my new vision. I would highly recommend Accuvision to anyone.
