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
I had my surgery on 31 May at Fulham and found the experience excellent value for the money when compared to other services offered by competitors. The surgeon talked to me throughout the procedure to put me at ease and as it was all over within 10 minutes or so you dont have enough time to think of any negative thoughts. It was similar to having a filling at the dentist but with the belief that no more visits would be required!
Overall no complaints at all and I am left with perfect vision.
I have just had my eyes checked again at Accuvision,13 months after I had my eyes done, purely to make sure that all is on track, as I have not had any problems however did so just to be on the safe side – they are in execellent condition and have better than 20/20 vision. I am still thrilled with the results and the professional care I received from Accuvison – would strongly recommend as my experince has been 100% positive.
After thinking about having eye surgery for 18 years,I am so pleased that I chose Accuvision. The whole experience was professional from the time I picked up the phone to discuss a possible appointment through to my aftercare. Thinking about eye surgery and actually doing it is a big deal, and they dealt with it excellently. 10/10
As with most people I spent a lot of time looking into laser correction. 1 appointment at Optical Express left me unimpressed, and Optical Express left me disappointed. They told me I would probably never achieve 20:20 vision! Accuvision didn’t make any promises, but were extremely professional, clinic was clean and modern, and I discovered 2 friends had had it done there with amazing results. Their prescriptions were worse than mine!!
My eyes were -4.0 each eye before my consultation, but they measured -3.25 during the consultation. Was a little worried but Accuvision assured me that they were correct readings and it was better to be under rather than over.
I had Wavefront LASIK surgery (Solihull) on the 8th May 07. The whole procedure was quick and painless. The eye clamps were a little uncomfortable but that’s all. Cutting of the flap was surprisingly quick (less than 10 secs) and I was surprised that the 1st eye was done so quickly!
20 minutes after waiting in the recovery room (eyes closed) I was checked, given my eye drops and I could go home. Spent the evening with eyes closed and relaxing. Next morning had the protective lenses removed and had near 20:20 vision. Was a little disappointed that they weren’t 20:20 already!
It’s been a week, some dry eyes for 2/3 days. Some ‘fog/haze’ for a day or two, then settled down. Right eye not as good as left, constantly checking by covering each eye (number plates on cars, road signs etc).
Had my 1 week check up yesterday – I can just about make out the 20:10 line on the chart (two lines better than 20:20 vision), so I am absolutely overjoyed.
The dryness is worse last thing at night and when I wake up in the morning, but its getting better. Eyes feel a bit ‘sticky’ and I blink to focus on far things – guess that’s my brain adjusting to being able to see so far! I’m reassured in knowing it’ll take a while for the eyes to heal and vision will fluctuate up and down.
Will post more comments in June after my 1 Month check up, but I recommend the Solihull Accuvision clinic immensely. Cost me £1500 all in!!
Just to update – I had my 3 week check up last Wednesday, and everything is fab! I've still got a bit of dryness, so have been supplied with more drops, but overall its much less uncomfortable than wearing contact lenses. To be fair, I never really had a huge problem with contacts other than losing them, I just kind of got used to my eyes feeling slightly odd and never really thought much of it. I think the main reason I notice the slight dryness more now is because I'm conscious of not being able to rub my eyes!
I've been driving with no problems since day 4, and was told at the recent check up that I can now resume swimming, kayaking etc so I'm really pleased about that as I was expecting to have to stay out of water for much longer.
The 'smeariness' I mentioned has gone, apparently that was do to with my tear film, and even night vision is a lot better.
Overall really, really pleased and well worth the cash and stress!!
