Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

After 44 years of wearing glasses I now have better than 20/20 vision. I had Lasik wavefront surgery at the Fulham clinic. The experience was pleasant, pain free and the staff excellent. They all amde me feel at ease from the start to finish of treatment. All of my questions were answered. I would recommend Accuvision and the team at Fulham.

AMAZING. It's taken me a year to write my review of the service offered by Accuvision for the Wavefront Lasik surgery undertaken. I approached them after several favourable reviews from family and friends - and I wasn't disappointed! Having two young kids who constantly jump on you and damage or drop your glasses, I thought it was time to get the surgery done and dusted. It's a scary thought, having laser surgery to your eyes. Not at all!!! The whole experience from start to finish was painless, both in terms of the surgery and the cost. Accuvision is the ultimate in professionalism - from the relaxed administrative staff to the knowledgable consultant, Vikash, and the brilliant surgical team. Everything was explained in layman terms and conducive to providing a totally relaxed experience. The surgery itself was over within minutes, and the vision that I had relied on so long through the use of glasses was gone within minutes. The explanations provided during the surgery puts you at ease and nothing was rushed. The initial mild discomfort (not pain) was over within hours of the surgery. My vision was better than 20/20 within days. One year on and I have nothing but praise for all the people at Accuvision, who have truly changed my life for the better. Thank you to one and all. Over the course of the year, I have recommended Accuvision to other friends and family - and I would recommend them to anyone else who is considering laser surgery. Once again, AMAZING!!!!!

What more is there to say. Perfect vision after a week. No discomfort or pain even during the surgery. Brilliant service. At 750 an eye you should think about anywhere else. Already recommended them to a few friends.

I had been toying with the idea of visiting an laser eye surgeon, and found one in Bluewater near where I live. I went along for the consultation and looking forward to eye laser surgery, but when being told that as my eye sight was so bad and when they matched the cost to my eye sight, I was flabbergasted, and fell off my chair. (not reading the small print which said “from” ) this eye laser surgeon wanted to charge me 4 times what I thought the cost would be (*£395 per eye). I decided to shop around and looked for a more reasonable eye laser surgeon, without compensating service or procedure. I found Accuvision, New Kings Road, Fulham. I had worn contact lenses and glasses since I was 19 for 28 years. For years I had abused my eyes by keeping contact lenses in my eyes for extended hours, and kept lens well past there sell by date. I never envisaged having such perfect eye sight after corrective treatment. I would like to thank the staff for such a caring manor, throughout the whole process I was informed of each and every part from what to expect and right down to the sensation I would feel. There was NO pain, only very slight discomfort. In my own words it was like having my very own version of close encounters of the third kind, with different coloured lights flashing in front of your eyes, white, green and red lights, as the surgery was done. Immediately after getting up from the surgery I knew it had been a great success, although very hazy It was the first time I could see the whites of everyone’s eyes clearly without specs for 28 years, my vision before surgery was -6.0 Spectacle prescription in both eyes. For the majority of the first two weeks I had halo’s around lights whether it be driving or just looking a lights, but this didn’t hinder my sight which has really improved since and become much sharper, also my near sighted vision was as good immediately after surgery but this has also improved and I can see clearly as 7 inches from each eye. I had Lasik Wavefront surgery which was done on the 4th October, and at my weekly check-up was told that my eyesight was now better than 20-20 vision. Thank you very much Accuvission for my eye-sight back, its fantastic! I have recommended Accuvission to many close friends and family, and told them all if they wish a chaperone I’m willing to go with them. Once again, big thanks to all the surgeons, doctors, consultants and staff at Accuvision, fantastic!

Without doubt one of the best decisions I have made was to get my eyes corrected by laser. It wasn't cheap but you really can't (well I couldn't) put a price on 20/20 vision and not having to put on a pair of glasses or insert a pair of contact lenses. The staff at Accuvision were extremely professional and courteous and I was under the impression that the patient always came first - from the initial consultation right through to the aftercare one year on after surgery. They went through the results of the consultation and made their recommendation and my suitability. I started out at R: +1.25 / -5.00 / 180 and L: +1.00 / -5.00 / 7. After surgery I am now L: 6/6 and R: 6/6+ which is the equivalent of 20:20 in my left and 20:15 in my right which I would not have belived possible. Its a strange feeling when you have spent all of your life looking at a blurred world to wake up in the morning and being able to see. Overall I was very impressed with Accuvision and have no reservations about recommending them to others.

before - a lazy left eye that had an astigmatism of -6.5 and a perfect right eye. Most of my life i had perfect vision thanks to my right eye but recently it had gotten tired so thought about laser surgery for about 2 years. During - did a lot of research into many surgeries based around london and found accuvision to have great reviews. was messed around by optical express so gave accuvision the benefit of doubt. my consultation was sales free, vikram was very clear in what was achievable (not 20:20) but an improvement was possible. at this stage i knew it would be gamble as to what i would achieve. surgery - to be absolutely honest it wasn't pleasant but it was painless, i'm a bit funny about my eyes and i didn't like seeing somesone poke around my eye ball. post surgery - everything went fine! vision was very blurry for the 1st week, loads of halos and vision that fluctuated between good and bad. 1 month on - vision seems to have stabilised, after several check ups my eye has improved from a -6.5 to -0.5 wow! as my right eye did most of the work i don't have a wow factor in improvement but what i do have is far greater periphery vision, i no longer see in a monocular affect but binocular which is great! i've been very impressed by accuvision care and attention, although for now it's not a life changing experience for me due to my circumstance i can only speculate as to what it must be like for spectacle wearers. i wholeheartedly recommend accuvision for all that they have done for me. at the very least go and have a chat with them

Quite simply the best decision I ever made. I had -3.5 and -4.25 and the results were text book, and ended up with one line of vision better then 20/20! I went for my 6 month check up yesterday and everything is perfect, I was dischagred although they emphasise that they will be there for support anytime.... The staff are the most amazing, caring people and the after support is fantastic. The procedure is very fast and painless, and your back to normal after 1 days rest. Incredible...Its changed my life. I would highly recommend ACCUVISION to anyone....!

Had my yearly check up last month & have been discharged from Accuvision (althought they assured me I could contact them at any time if I felt I had any problems). My eyes are still fantastic & I had my 1st holiday in about 20yrs where I was able to swim underwater & not have to worry about people splashing. I'm still amazed that I now have 20/20 vision after all these years & I would recommend this treatment to anyone (Infact I have which resulted in 3 more people having their eyes done all of which have been as pleased as me with the results) Thank you to everyone at accvision for helping to change & improve my life

I was a self confessed contact lens abuser, wearing my lens from the moment I woke up 'til the moment I went to bed (often falling asleep in them) for 14 years. This resulted obviously in numerous eye infections the most recent of which excruciatingly painful and resulting in my optician banning me from buying any more lens’ and a couple of visits to the Eye Clinic at St Thomas’ Hospital. I had been warned in the past about wearing my lens for so long but figured that I wasn’t as bad as I used to be, now that I actually own a pair of glasses at least. My prescription was -5 & -5.5 which of course meant I had to wear glasses or lens’ going without was not an option. However my wearing my lenses was damaging my eyes so badly that even with the lens or the glasses I was still having difficulty seeing more than a few meters away. After 2 weeks of no lenses my optician was still not happy to supply lenses until I had a check up at the hospital, they gave me the all clear but it seemed time to make a change before it was too late. I didn’t feel confident in going to a surgeon that operates out of a shopping centre, not much different from a show shop with the emphasis on get them in get them out, these are the only eyes I’ll ever have and I’ve ill treated them enough. I made an appointment with Accuvision to see if I was suitable for laser treatment, I didn’t hold out much hope as the optician’s moans were ringing in my head about the permanent damage I had done to my eyes. I had to keep my lenses out for the days leading up to my appointment so they could properly assess my eyes. They confirmed that my eye sight seemed worse than my prescription but said this was due to the surface damage to my eyes due to my contact lens habits and would be difficult to rectify with lenses or glasses. They then took scans of my eyes. Your eye should be a smooth surface; mine however looked like the Himalayas, inflamed and covered in scar tissue. A second opinion was called for and it was decided that I could have surgery but Epi Lasik not Lasik, due to the state of my eyes. I know they never guarantee 20/20 vision for anyone but they were very honest and said that they doubt I’ll achieve this due to the condition of my eyes, all due to my years of contact lens abuse. I was told that even if I did not have the surgery they recommended I never wear lenses again. I was mortified at the thought and figured that even if I am left wearing glasses for driving or close work it has to be better than being dependant on my glasses like I was then. I agreed to the surgery and to the pre surgery instructions, no lens at all between now and the surgery. That’s a whole month, in my case, of wearing my glasses!!!! Also for the 5 days prior to the surgery I had to put anti inflammatory drops in my eyes 3-4 times a day. The day of surgery came around and much to my and the surgeons surprise my eyes were so much better that they said I would be better suited to Lasik. This was due to the simple course of anti inflammatory drops and no lens, so disappointing that the doctors at St Thomas’ Hospital never prescribed them before. It was decided that Lasik it was, much to my relief. I am not a big fan of pain or surgery of any kind and a bit of a girl about anything like that but was so pleased that everything was over so quickly and completely pain free. You just keep looking at the light, there’s a brief smell, not unlike burning hair a few drops in your eyes and away you go. As simple as that, or at least that’s how they make the experience feel for you. As soon as I sat up from the bed I looked at the surgeon and was stunned I could actually see him!!!!! The care throughout has been brilliant, I returned the next day for my check up all ok vision just a little like a foggy day. At my week check up I was reading 20/20 something neither myself nor the surgeons ever expected, to say I am over the moon is an understatement. I still go to take my lenses out at night and still wake up thinking “damn I slept in my lenses again” but I can live with that confusion, I’m sure it will pass. The wearing glasses for a month combined with no make up for a few days before the surgery was a nightmare for someone as vain as myself but I can’t explain the joy of now being able to see better than I’ve been able to see since the age of 12 Accuvison may not be the cheapest option for surgery but what price do you put on your eye sight! Personally I don’t think I could’ve made a better choice of surgery and thoroughly recommend Accuvision to anyone considering the procedure. I can not fault their expertise and levels of care throughout. They exceeded both mine and their own expectations and I am forever grateful.

I had my eyes done last month after pondering over treatment for over 2 years. It was amazingly easy, pain-free and life-transforming. It has given me the confidence to do things I would never have dreamed of. The staff at the Solihull surgery were fantastic - thanks!!
