Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I had trans-epithelial surgery about 3 weeks and was told tolday that my sight is better than 20:20 vision! I would recommend it without a doubt. I had the trans-epithelial surgery due to a thin cornea and this treatment was suggested as a safer option. At all consultations the staff were calm and patient and coherent with their explanations and I felt reassured throughout. All risks were explained and at no time did I feel pressure to go ahead with the surgery. The procedure itself was insignificant as it was so quick and pain free. The only strange feeling was having my eye wide open with lots of lights in front of me. Being honest I found that post-surgery it was extremely painful. I could not sleep for the first two nights and had difficulty opening my eyes for the first 24-36 hours. However, the pain subsides after approx 36 hours and although my vision was initially blurry and quite out of focus it was better than usual. My bandage contact lenses were taken out 5 days later and my vision went slightly worse again which is expected when the lenses come out but now I have perfect vision with no glasses or contact lenses and healing well. The team are supportive and are there whenever you need them. My only regret is that I didn't have it done years ago!

I did a lot of research into different companies in my area (Midlands) and also read a lot of reviews on this website. I found the larger companies quite impersonal and persistent which put me off and I wasn't lured by their offers. I originally went to Accuvision for a consultation in July 2007. I was seen by Nick Dash who did various tests and explained that I had thin corneas so needed Trans-Epi treatment which he explained with the risks involved and that the recovery time would be longer. I found Nick and the staff at the Solihull Clinic very professional and decided not to go to any other clinics. It took me several months for me to take the plunge, after a lot of thinking and with no pressure from Accuvision. I made an appointment in March to have my surgery in April. On the day, I had a few more test to make sure there were no changes as it had been a while since the consultation. Everyone was very helpful (Nick, Vic & Surgeon) and reassuring. The surgery was amazingly quick and pain free. My eyes were checked before I could leave. I was given eye drops to put in regularly and painkillers. The first 48 hours my eyes were very sensitive so I had to wear sunglasses in the house and they took a few days to settle. The first 24 hours were the worst as they were watery and very painful. The eye drops really helped and I put them in religiously! I had a 24 hour, week, month and now a 3 month check. Within a week I could see very clearly but remembered what Nick said that in time my vision would improve even more. After my visiti in August, Nick told me my eyes were now better than 20:20 vision - 133% :) I was shown images of my eyes, before and after. I could see that the irregularities in my corneal shape had been improved giving me better quality of vision. I have already recommended Accuvision to several people and I would not want my eyes in anyone else's hands! My advice is not to expect clear vision in 24 hours!

Initially I was given a very detailed and extensive eye examination to decide the best treatment for me. My prescription being +6 and my age over 45 it was decided that the best treatment would be Clear lens Exchange (CLE), where the natural crystalline lens inside the eye has been replaced with an interocular implant. My surgery has been a great success and I can now see better than I was able to with contact lenses or glasses before the surgery. I have had mono-vision for most of my life due to an operation as a child to repair a squint, so being given mono-vision with my new lenses is no problem for me. I have been given Toric lenses due to the extreme astigmatism that I have and the calculations made by Accuvision have been perfect. The surgery was for me an extraordinary experience. The first eye was done on 16th July 2008 and the second on 6th Aug 2008.The clinic seemed very careful about cleanliness and all my anxiety about the surgery was alleviated from the care taken by the anaesthetist. The treatment is quick (20 minutes) and painless I concentrated on managing a calm breath and looking straight up. The next morning I could take off my bandage and see for the first time without glasses, amazing. I can read the smallest writing on the card they give you to test your vision, incredible. I have worked out that within 10 years I will have paid the £5000 back by not having to spend money on upgrading my glasses and contact lenses and all the extras that come with them.

When my optician suggested for me to have laser treatment on my eyes I was a bit worried, because several years ago I had LTK laser treatment to both eyes and the results had been very disappointing. My vision had regressed, I was having to wear specs all day and the surface of my corneas was very irregular. The Accuvision team at Solihull were brilliant; they examined my eyes very carefully and inspired me with such confidence that I agreed to have further laser surgery. They explained everything in ways I could understand, and made sure that any doubts I had were fully explored. Now I have had Lasik treatment to my very bad eye, my vision is 20/20 and I am delighted. I am happy to recommend Accuvision to anyone like me.

I had been wearing glasses since the age of 2 and had never, ever seen clearly without them! Im 28 years old and my prescription was R -4.50 / -6.00 x90 L -6.25 / -4.50 x 90 I had really bad astigmatism! After researching into laser eye surgery, I was recommended Accuvision by at least 3 people and booked a consultation at the London branch. The staff were extremely professional and took time explaining my options for laser surgery. Because my prescription was so severe, I was recommended Wavefront Lasik surgery. Its been over a year now since my eye operation and I still wake up everyday, overjoyed that I can see clearly straight away! Its like a miracle! All my life I have longed to be able to see without my glasses and now i can! My vision is now better than it was with my glasses! If you are thinking about having laser eye surgery, I would strongly recommend it. It has changed my life!

Accuvision has changed my life. Having been turned away by 3 other clinics I was very nervous about receiving treatment for my complicated prescription. It took me a long time to arrive at Accuvision – so put off by other high street clinics – I felt there was no hope for me and that I would always have what amounted to a harsh disability in my mind.
The surgeons and all the staff went out of their way to reassure me and help me through every stage of my journey. There was no pressure put on me on the day of my surgery even when it looked like I was about to back out of the entire process. I was given the time and advice needed. At all times I was made aware of the risks and no false promises were made. They even agreed to do one at a time. The improvement in my first eye was immediate and so noticeable that I agreed to go through with the second eye there and then.
My eyesight has now improved so much that I’m about to start driving lessons for the first time – without the need for glasses. I would recommend Accuvision to anyone needing help with their eyes and especially to people who have been told before that the technology isn’t available yet to deal with their condition. They have the technology at Accuvision and the patient care to make even the most terrified of patients feel positive and nurtured. I can’t thank Accuvision enough. I wish I’d found them sooner

I had lasik performed on 18th August at Accuvision at Fulham, and I must say how pleased I am with the treatment and after-care I have received so far.My surgeon , Mr Rostron and his team are the best in my opinion.I have been thinking about having this procedure for the past 4 years and it has taken me all this time to pluck up the courage to have this done.Really there was no need to worry, I felt I was being treated by excellent staff from start to finish.I also must say a special thank you to my optometrist Joan, who is so professional but also caring and very helpful. I was also seen at another clinic at East Grinstead and was quoted £4,500, for Intralase lasik which i just could not afford, and I'm now so glad that I kept with my decision to have it done at Accuvision, for me there was no need to spend that kind of money, but that is just my personal opinion. My sight was quite bad, -4.5(L) and - 5.0(R).Although I can see now very well, my left eye is taking slightly longer to catch up with my right eye, but I'm told this is perfectly normal. I would highly recommend the procedure and this clinic, and no it REALLY is not painful at all!

i had worn glasses since i was 13months old and had a squint. I'm so glad i had it done now i can see 20;20 vision Accuvision in Solihull was the only place that could do it.

Accuvision Solihull, Amazing, really really really good customer services and relations i was given direct email addresses for contact to surgeons and opticians so if id got any problems i just had to mail them, i very extremely comfortable at every stage with all the staff. Only once was i asked how id be paying unlike everywhere else i went especially Ultralase, Accuvision staff where very personal and nobody seemed textbook on the whole process as everyone's eyes are different i was a patient and not a cash point. I've just had my 6 month check up and I'm all well, but ive been offered a 12 month check at no extra cost just to reassure myself i made the right decision. The cost of surgery wasn't an issue for me i went where i was most comfortable and accuvision was the one, and it was the cheapest too so that was a bonus. Ultralase and optimax spent as long talking about finance options as they did about surgery when i was paying cash so they needn't of bothered. Also elsewhere when having consultations i was passed between numerous staff and nobody treated me personally. Accuvision knew me on a first name basis within days and where happy to answer all my questions and i wasn't given some ridiculous brochure to try win me over just plain and simple AMAZING service, it really was the best thing ive done in my life, Only 1 day later i didn't need my glasses and my eyes settled within 1 week to better than 20-20 Thanks Nick and the Team! Very highly recommended!

I had my surgery in April 2008 and I have just been discharged from the Accuvision clinic in Solihull, Birmingham. I have 130% vision - better than 20/20!! I read lots of reviews on this site and also visited Ultralase before making my final decision. I just felt so at ease with the staff at Accuvision and I felt I could ask them anything and that they were very honest and open. At Ultralase it was almost as if they were repeating the exact same spiel over and over to the thousands who pass through their door. They also wouldn't stop calling me after the appointment. Accuvision don't apply any pressure whatsoever - they leave you to make your own mind up. I think that it's important to know for anyone considering surgery that it can take a while for your eyesight to recover and settle down. I certainly wasn't one of those that could step out of the clinic and immediately see across the road! My eyes were sensitive and my focus rather up and down for a fortnight or so, but I was able to return to work after a few days and was always closely monitored by the clinic. My night vision took several weeks longer as I had quite a lot of halo effect and ghosting so I wasn't comfortable driving at night. I was a bit concerned about this, but they assured me that this was normal. Four months on, it is much better. Accuvision in Solihull is a small clinic and they get their customers through recommendation not intense advertising like their larger competitors. The team are so friendly - especially Nick, and my results are fantastic so I cannot recommend them enough!
