Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

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!!

I was a very nervous patient, but from the start was reassured and had my hand held during surgery. I was operated on by the Founder, CEO and Clinical Director. My unaided eyesight is now 20/20 in both eyes. This is an improvement from 20/25 aided in one eye. The other one is still 20/15 aided. I cannot recommend these people highly enough.

I've waited until my final check-up was completed before writing this review. Firstly though i must tell you my prescription was approx -4.00 and -3.75, i thought of laser eye surgery some years ago with "Boots" but was refused due to a thin cornea! So about 6 mths ago i took the plunge again! hoping for a change in technology. Using this website i decided on Accuvision (parsons green clinic). I phoned them to arrange a consultation which was booked for the following week. When i arrived i was greeted with confident and happy smiles and to my suprise also found out i DIDNT have thin corneas in fact i had plenty of cornea thickness. I was told i would be a perfect candidate for surgery. SO i had it done there and then!! Let me stress i was not pressured in any way to do this, it was my decision and mine alone and boy oh boy was i glad i took it. No nervous wait for me! When it came to the procedure all i can say is its "strange" not painful in anyway but "strange"! You can read details about the aftercare elsewhere on this site, your 4 follow up appointments and emergency phone number for the first 24hrs etc but i can add it is excellent. My eyesight is now perfect, i can even read the line BELOW the 20/20 line! I cannot recommend Accuvision enough!

It's now 1 week since I had wavefront LASIK, and i'm extremely pleased with the result. Had the consultation on Monday and the operation on Tuesday, no pain whatsoever. Vision was slightly hazy for two days, but has now settled down. The 7 day check up went well, and my vision is now as good as when I wore contact lenses, if not better! The staff were very friendly and professional - recommended.

I have left it a year before writing this to ensure that everything is as good as I first thought, I considered laser eye surgery for two years. After researching my preferred choice was to use Accuvision. For convenience Solihull seemed the better Clinic for me. My initial consultation was with Nick Dash who put me totally at ease and assured me that they could correct my short vision. The treatment was arranged for 22nd September 2005. Whilst travelling up to Solihull I felt I could have easily given up and backed out, however I am glad I didn’t, the procedure itself lasted about twenty minutes, although the laser treatment lasted only seconds for each eye the rest of the time was getting me in the right position and putting me a ease. It was completely painless and over before I knew it, when I walked into the waiting room afterwards I could see quite clearly, although I was advised to keep my eyes closed as much as possible. I have never looked back, I don’t know how others get on but for me I have had no problems and have been able to see clearly from that minute on. This for me was a life changing experience I no longer need to wear glasses for any area of my vision and now I have just had my final check up (one year on) and have now been signed off. I would recommend this procedure to anyone and would like to thank Nick for his pre and post operative consultation and of course Brett Halliday and his team who performed the surgery. I am a female of 50+ and was severely short sighted having worn glasses or contact lenses since the age of nine what a transformation. Thank you Accuvission.

It's now nearly three months since I had bilateral custom wavefront lasik at Accuvision in Fulham and I thought I'd leave a few comments about the experience. First of all the consultation was really thorough and there was plenty of time to ask questions (which were realistically answered - this is surgery and no-one can guarantee the outcome - if they do I would see someone else...). After the consultation I was given a list of upcoming surgery dates and the cost of the operation - no salesmanship - just information which was very much appreciated. Having found out that I was suitable and that a good outcome was likely (which confirmed what I had read on this site and others) I decided to go ahead and booked the surgery the following week. My surgeon was Brett Halliday and given the way things went I can strongly recommend him. The most surprising thing was how quickly everything was over - I didn't experience any discomfort during the operation - it's just surreal to watch the operation unfold - in less than ten minutes I was in the waiting room, half an hour later I had my post-operative checks and then I went to the hotel. At this stage everything was looking a little milky but by the evening (after a few hours with my eyes closed) my distance vision was good. The following morning I went back for the check-up and was amazed how well I could see as I walked back to the clinic - everything was very clear. I ended up using the eye drops for the first couple of weeks and then stopped as there was no more need. Maybe I was lucky (I certainly think so), but I have not had any real problems - I see some halo's around lights at night but it isn't that much of an issue and I hope it will continue to get better - if not it is a small price to pay. My vision has gone from around minus 5 in each eye to 0 and 0.25 (which is perfect from my point of view) and I can comfortably read the 20/15 line on the eye chart (1 line better than 20/20 vision). So I am a very satisfied patient/customer, the staff were friendly, open and professional, there was no hard sell and the proceedure has given me the chance to live without glasses or contact lenses for the first time in twenty years (the last fifteen of which I had worn soft contact lenses. If you are thinking of having the surgery I would highly recommend you go for a consultation at Accuvision - this seems to be the common conclusion of the posters here.

I had laser surgery just over 2 years ago. I was persuaded to go by my Dad and brother, who have both had it done also, but I was apprehensive as I had just turned 21 and hate anything to do with eyes! The staff were lovely, and were very patient and kind while I was worrying and very nervous. Two years on and after a check up today, I can safely say it was the best decision I made; my eye sight is 20/20 and it's great not having to wear glasses anymore. The on-going support and friendliness of staff is wonderful. I always feel very safe in their hands. Anyone who is like me; nervous and scared - go for it as you wont regret it. Thanks Accuvision!

I had custom lasek treatment back in March. It was the best decision I have ever made. I didn't have really bad eyes (prescription of -1 in both eyes)but due to being a police officer this did affect me and I didn't want to wear glasses. I tried contacts but couldn't even get them in my eye! I was worried about the procedutre and went to umerous clinics for advice. I eventually chose Accuvsion as I believed they would offer the best possible treatment for a reasonable price. They were not the cheapest but were not the most expensive. The procedure lasted a few minutes and the next week was hard. However I now have 20;20 vision in both eyes and my night vision has never been clearer. It is ammazing! I would strongly recommend Accuvision to anybody. They are very friendly and professional and have given me perfect eyesight again!!

A totally professional and highly technical service. I can't praise the clinic highly enough. The service levels are more than impressive from the start. The atmosphere and setting of the clinic is clean and efficent and the way in which you are tested and checked is top rate. I can't thank the clinic and its staff enough. My surgury was carried out on monday the 18/9 and today i have 20/20 vision with slight dry eyes over night. I have already recommended the clinic to my dad who is having his eyes lasered next month. Overall impressions - 10 out of 10 in every way!

Without a doubt, this is the best money I have ever spent. I have gone from being more short sighted than the average bat, to 20/20 vision in about 15 minutes! The discomfort is minimal - no worse than a trip to the dentist - and the results are AMAZING! Having worn glasses for nearly forty years, I am going around looking at the world with a renewed wonder. I cannot rave about this treatment enough to do it justice. Thank you to all at Accuvision, where the standard of care is fantastic.
