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

- LASIK eye surgery
- Trans-Epithelial Surface Treatment
- Lens replacement surgery
- ICL surgery (implantable contact lenses)

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
I had both my eyes lasered about 6 years ago with Accuvision. My prescription was -6.5 for both eyes. The service I received at Accuvision was incomparable. I had a thorough eye examination and the procedure was thoroughly explained to me. There was no hard sell at all, in fact they even encouraged me to go away and think about the operation before making a decision. On the day I was made to feel very special by all involved in my procedure especially as I was very scared, but the procedure was very quick and they talked to me all the way through the operation so I was aware of exactly what was going on. I had to go back the following day, then 1 week later then 1 month and then 6 months. Every time I returned I was greeted by name and seen by the same people. My Mum, who is long sighted, and had accompanied me throughout my procedure had her eyes lastered 2 years later, and when I went with her they recognised me! Since then my sister-in-law, step dad and my husband have had their eyes done at Accuvision. I can't recommend them highly enough. My Husband had his eyes done this week – a total success – he wishes now he had had his done a few years ago. The price I paid has come down considerably and my husband paid £1250 per eye. If you want a company that is interested in you and not just their bottom line – go to Accuvision.
After years of deliberating whether to have laser eye surgery I decided enough was enough and took the plunge. I chose Accuvision in Fulham as I had only positive feedback from previous patients and I investigated the state of the art equipment used there. I was not disappointed. I was greeted upon my arrival in a very friendly manner and was seen by a professional optometrist who examined my eyes thoroughly while explaining everything in great detail making sure I understood fully the treatment I was to have – in fact I only had to have one eye operated on.
On surgery day again I was treated in the most professional, hospitable way and informed of everything that was happening. After a few minutes I was out of surgery and able to see without glasses, I was amazed, quite emotional and very, very grateful to all the staff at Accuvision for their professionalism, care and the return of my sight.
My only regret is that I waited so long..

Further to post a couple of days ago: well I can see to type so that must be a good thing? ! All went as planned, the team were very friendly and all introduced themselves. The procedure itself is not pleasant, don't get me wrong there is no pain at all, its just the mental thing of seeing whats happening and having no control over it,that said the staff were very re-assuring and calm and encouraged me to talk the whole time to keep my mind off it. Be warned when the eye drops wear off life is pretty uncomfortable for a good few hours…. so much so that I regretted having it done, then at about 9 pm ( procedure was at 11 am ) there was a marked improvement and I managed to sleep well that night. The discomfort gets better each day and now – 6 days on – just feels a bit gritty. So I can say I would go through it all again it is worth it.Developmental feedback? – as I said before waiting area used for recovery was not great as the woman who came out before me was sobbing which didn't help nerves ( I must add I saw her the next day beaming!) also just after the opp you see the consultant before being allowed to go and I did feel a bit rushed off, but as I was due to see Nick the next day wasn't too worried ( Nick by the way is great). So in conclusion yes go to accuvision you wont be making a mistake.
After initially being rejected for surgery I was able to take advantage of a relatively new procedure suitable for my eyes known as Topography guided Trans epithelial lasik with cross linking. This strengthens the cornea as well as improving sight. It is a procedure which lasts about half an hour and is quite uncomfortable.The following week requires a lot of rest and some painkilling relief. Vision improves slowly over a period of 6-8 weeks. My vision has improved dramatically and I only need to wear reading glasses to a strength of 1-1.5.Most of the time I don't need to wear glasses at all. I am being regularly monitored and have nothing but praise for the team at Accuvision who have done an outstanding job.
SUPERB!!! 6 years following my LASIK surgery (with a 'blade') at Accuvision in Fulham. My vision is still fab. Have put several friends in touch with Accuvision and they to are equally impressed with their results.It looks as though they (Accuvision) offer a whole lot more than just Lasik these days too.
