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 been deliberating over whether to have the surgery for quite a few years and finally decided this year to make that extra special effort to save. I looked around on the internet for advice and inspiration as to where to go and I was recommended Accuvision by a friend of a friend who had her treatment in October 2004. She raved about everything to do with Accuvision so I decided to make the effort and call them.
I had my initial consultation with Vik on 30/9. This lasted approx an hour and was extremely thorough. Vik was brilliant too keeping me informed of everything he was doing and why! As I had really made up my mind before going for the consultation I was put off at all and delighted when Vik told me that they could do it. I booked my treatment day before leaving.
Treatment was done on 17/10 by Mr Rostron. Everything about the day was professional, friendly and informative. They didn't do anything without telling me. It was a bit scary and uncomfortable but is done so quickly that before you realise it you are back in the waiting room for a rest before getting checked and then ready to leave. Worst part of the day was being in the car for an hour and half and not being able to open my eyes.
I had to keep my eyes closed for the rest of the day. I used a sleeping mask to help – I found this quite easy because my eyes didn't really want to be open anyway. The stinging lasted about an hour and grittiness about 5 hours but the eyedrops helped. I haven't experienced any halos or fuzziness at night and results so far is 15/20 vision from being shortsighted at -2.50.
The one thing a really hated about the whole experience was wearing the aweful plastic shields over my eyes at night. During my sleep I would try to remove them, sometimes successful but other nights I would wake up fighting with them to get them off. I was so glad one week on when Vik told me I could stop using them.
Everyone at Accuvision from the Receptionists, the the person who made my appointments for me, to Vik and Mr Rostron and team in the treatment room have been brilliant. There is nothing negative I can say about the whole experience (except those eye shields !!)
Thank you
I spent two years deliberating whether to have surgery or not and finally decided to go for it. Had the surgery 2nd November with Mr Rostron, prescription was -7.5 and -8.0.
Surgery went well, slight stinging and grittiness for a few hours after surgery, but the drops relieved that. Had the checkup the next morning and both eyes were healing faster than expected. Had my one week check yesterday and I'm continuing to improve: 20/20 vision and that was on a bad eye day! Left eye is healing a little slower than right, but is getting there gradually. Getting halos and starbursts at night but was told that would clear up in a few weeks.
Overall I can't believe how good my vision is! I would say I wish I'd had it years ago, but actually I'm glad I didn't. The technology has improved over the last few years so I'm glad I waited – I just wish I was younger!
Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision who are very helpful and professional.
I had my surgery last Wednesday (2nd Nov) and on the following day I already had 20/15 vision! It truly is amazing. I have gone from -3.00 & -3.75 to being able to see better then ever before. Being glasses free after 15 years is incredibly liberating.
Everything from the word go has been 1st class, I booked the surgery on the very day of the consulation as I was so pleased with the service I received.
Vik is an absolute gem, he is so caring and explains everything in such a way that is reassuring without being patronising. I'm going for my second check up in two days time but know everything will be fine.
The surgery was a little scary but I only suffered stinging for about 20 minutes straight after and then a sharp gritty feeling about an hour after that which only lasted 10 minutes or so. Within 5 hours I was feeling fine. I have a little dryness now but the drops are helping.
The rating of very good isn't high enough, I just can't thank Accuvision enough.
I had wavefront treatment to both eyes on 2nd November at the London clinic. My prescription was -6.5 & -7.00 and now less than 1 week later my eyes are settling down very well with no need for glasses or contact lenses anymore. I had my 24 hour check up with my vision not quite 20/20 but hopefully by my 1st week check up it will be. I am able to see very clearly which includes reading, working on the computer and watching TV.
The team were all very helpfull and made me feel at ease at all times. The actual treatment took about 20 minutes and there was only a small amount of discomfort for just a few minutes on each eye.
I am very pleased with the results so far and with the overall service Accuvision provided and would recommend them to other people.
I will send updates as my eyes settle a little more.
I am now 6 weeks post treatment. Overall am very pleased with Accuvission. The pre surgery info was all spot on. The staff were all very professional and friendly.
Prior to surgery I had a mild prescription (-1.5) in both eyes. I now have better than 20/20 vision, and am thoroughly enjoying being able to see the details that I couldn't previously. The vision was up to 20/20 in my right eye the day after surgery, and the left one soon caught up, and is just as good now.
