Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I am writing this review 6 years after my surgery in August 2006 and I should say that I am very very happy I had the laser eye surgery.
My vision is still perfect on one eye and has decreased by 0.25 on the other, which is – as far as my and my current ophthalmologist are concerned – a brilliant result.
If I had known how much I would enjoy life without glasses I would have had the surgery years before I actually did.
Compared to the prices in continental Europe Accuvision are very competitive too.
Thank you by a happy customer.

Like many others who have posted here before, I had been considering having surgery for many years. This year I am pleased to say that I finally decided to do something about it and find out if I was suitable. I had increasingly found wearing contact lenses uncomfortable and desperately needed a new pair of glasses and, having a prescription of -8.75 with astigmatism, resented the thought of the expense this would entail. Having read many positive stories I decided that Accuvision would be the best place to try.
I attended my consultation in September with an open mind and was quite prepared to be told that nothing could be done. I was delighted to find out that my eyes were suitable for surgery and that I should expect a good outcome from it even though there was a chance that I would be left with a small residual prescription. My surgery was booked the next day for the end of October. Everything went according to plan and the procedure really was over so quickly with only minor discomfort.. My check up the next day was positive and by my one week follow up my vision was as good as it had been with glasses beforehand with a promise that with further healing it should get better still. I did not expect a miraculous recovery and my vision certainly fluctuated during that first week. Personally I would not have been happy to have been at work for that first week but I would say that after 2 weeks my vision felt perfectly stable. There is still some night vision ‘interference’ but I feel quite comfortable driving in the dark. I do not find this to be any worse than driving at night whilst wearing my glasses or having worn contact lenses all day.
My overall experience at Accuvision was excellent. I had read how professional and friendly the team are and found this to be totally true. I never felt under any pressure to go ahead with surgery and that my welfare was the priority. I hope I haven’t rambled on too long here but to be able to see properly without glasses or lenses having relied upon them for nearly 40 years is a revelation. I can particularly appreciate my new vision on such a wonderful clear sunny day here today.
If you are thinking of having this procedure I would thoroughly recommend Accuvision. This was a big decision for me to make and I am so pleased that I went for it.
Thank you

I had my surgery on 14/12/11. That day my life changed forever.

I was severally short sighted. -9.25 in my right eye and -11.00 in my left eye both with astigmatism. I went for my consultation and they explained I could have laser surgery and what they were aiming for. I wasn’t expecting 20:20 vision due to my poor sight just being able to see the alarm clock would be fine with me.

Accuvision was my last hope having been refused by two previous clinics due to having a thin cornea in my left eye and large pupils when it is dark.

3 weeks after my consultation I was booked in for surgery.
I have this week been for my weekly follow up appointment to be told I have nearly 20:20 vision. I don’t even need glasses for driving which is what was mentioned at my consultation. The surgery went extremely well and my sight is better than they were expecting to achieve. I can’t quite put into words how happy I am.

I was looked after extremely well and would definitely recommend Accuvision to anyone who is wanting to improve their sight.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! I had surgery at the Wetherby clinic on 5th Oct 2011 and really cannot fault the excellent level of service and after care I received. I was -4.0 in both eyes and now have 20:20 vision. I can honestly say the procedure itself was extremely quick and painless. The only minor discomfort I felt was slight stinging immediately afterwards but this is honestly no worse than the feeling when chopping onions!! Totally worth the money for something so life changing! Thanks to everyone at Wetherby clinic!

From booking the initial consultation to getting the surgery done, Accuvision were fantastic. I went to the clinic in Wetherby (Leeds) and Simon the consultant was brilliant. He answered all my questions honestly and put me immediately at ease.
I was initially under the impression from dealings with other companies that I would not be eligible for laser surgery due to my very poor prescription but Accuvision claimed they could help… and they have!
It’s now been a week after surgery and I can see as well as I could when I wore contact lenses!! The surgery was painless (though not the most comfortable experience of my life either – don’t go thinking you’ll be asleep on a comfy sofa and wake up to perfect vision) and the morning afterwards I could see well enough to drive!
I had no light sensitivity to speak of and other than a little dryness in the eyes which wore off after a couple of days it was as if I’d never had surgery!
Basically, I would recommend laser surgery to anyone – it has literally changed my life already and I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend Accuvision’s exemplary treatment in conjunction with this.
