Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

The team at Solihull answered all my questions and concerns. They made be feel totally at ease with the complete procedure. As a Police Officer i was worried about night time driving, but this simple and pain free procedure has been excellent. What a feeling to throw away those contact lenses and solutions. I wish I’d done it years ago.

Can’t express enough how happy I am. I never appreciated how precious sight is until I had it fully restored by Accuvision. My sight was a bit complex with a stigma and long vision but I now have almost 20/20 vision. The first day after the operation I felt like I had the sight of an eagle and realised that I had not seen properly for years through glasses. An absolute miracle and the best money I’ve ever spent. Highly recommend the Kings Road surgery, absolutely brilliant and a fantastic after service. My life feels like it’s started over again, can’t recommend this surgery enough.

Mid 2006, after reading some articles, I decided that finally the time had come to get rid of my glasses ( -8/-6.5, -3/3.5 cyl) and go for laser surgery. After some research on the web I choose Accuvision in London, basically because of the very positive testimonials. The intake confirmed they were indeed thorough, professional and very pleasant. Although Joan was the first woman to call me thick, she fortunately just referred to my retinas ! So good news. And she made me reconsider my decision not to have a reading correction in one eye, for which I am still very grateful.

In July I had the operation. It went faster then expected and not painful at all. Unfortunately my distance eye did not correct 100% and my eyes were dry and sensitive for a few months. But checkups were always courteous and I felt I was very well taken care of and well informed and advised. For a short time in October I nearly lost hope as my reading eye was trying to help me see in the distance and I had to wear reading glasses again. However, when it turned out my distance eye had got stuck at +2, I could correct for distance with off-the-shelve reading glasses with one glass removed. And that improved my reading again. In December Accuvision advised that now my eyes seemed stable enough to come back early 2007 for a check up with the possibility of a correction to the distance eye the same day.

This went very well and in September I had my last check and walked out with 20/20 distance vision and perfect reading of the smallest print without glasses. I can 100% recommend Accuvision, especially if you need a strong correction. They do what they say in the intake: if they consider your eyes suitable for Laser treatment their quote will fix your eyes. I never lost confidence in their professionalism and dedication to get it right. Full marks to Darius and his team. Even if things did not go as smoothly as I hoped I would not hesitate to do the treatment again, and only with them. The result is well, well worth it !

We left any comments until our final check up so as to give the full picture. Both my wife and I had treatment last May. My wife had monovision correction (one eye for reading and one for distance) and I had my acute astigmatism corrected. Cost for both of us £3400, half the price of other quotes we had. I never believed that I would ever rid myself of glasses. We must give the staff at Accuvision 200% for their care, professionalism and total customer service. Everything was 1st class and truly exceeded our expectations. If you are thinking of having laser surgery don’t look elsewhere.

I had my surgery a week ago today and had my second post op appointment this morning. I have found Accuvision to be excellent in every way. At my consultation they were thorough, professional, positive and at no point tried to pressure me into making my mind up. I left my consultation feeling completely confident in Accuvision, so I went ahead and booked the surgery. I didn't even bother with other consultations as I trusted them completely.
I was SO nervous at my surgery and my head wouldn't stop shaking throughout the procedure. However I had no reason to be so anxious. It was completely painless, just a little weird. But it is over so quickly, that you don't really have time to think about what's happening. My surgeon, Chad Rostron, was brilliant – reassuring, professional and I had complete faith in him. The nurse and second surgeon in the room were also fantatsic.
After the surgery, I had to sit in the reception for 15 mins with my eyes closed, but when those 15 mins were up and I opened my eyes – I could see! 20 mins earlier I hadn't be able to read the writing on the TV, but now I could! I can't tell you what an incredible feeling it was. My eyes didn't hurt afterwards, they just felt like I had a bit of grit in them. By the next morning when I went back for my follow up appointment, I felt great.
Now a week later, I have 20-20 vision. My distance sight is excellent but reading up close is very slightly wooly. Also my night vision is not quite as it should be but both these things will correct themselves as the swelling goes down in my eyes.
I am so pleased with the results, it's like a modern day miracle and I forget that I needed glasses now. Accuvision were brilliant – they are welcoming, professional and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate in encouraging anyone to have their surgery with them. In fact, I have already recommended my dad and 2 friends!
