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:
Treatment | Optical Express Cost (per eye) | Optegra Cost (per eye) | Optimax Cost (per eye) | Centre for Sight Cost (per eye) |
---|---|---|---|---|
LASIK / LASEK | From £595 | £1,795 | £1,695 | £2,400 |
Cataract Surgery | From £3,195 | £2,495 | £2,995 | From £3,150 |
ICL Surgery | From £3,395 | £3,495 | £2,495 | £3,615 |
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).

Accuvision Reviews

Can’t see my old review on here, but I had the treatment at Accuvision 9 years ago and still have 20/20 vision. Seriously worth doing. Don’t go for the cheapest option, you only have one pair of eyes. Save up and go for the best. Had friends finally have the operation, universal response is ‘should have done it years ago’. Huge amounts of both time and money saved since then in putting in/taking out and cleaning lenses, buying them, glasses, cleaning fluids, opticians appointments etc.

I was persuaded to book a consultation by my sister after being denied Lasik surgery 3 years ago. I was expecting to be told that i was not a suitable candidate, but this was not the case. I had Wavefront Technology to correct my -6.75 & -7.00 vision in May 2006 & have not had to wear glasses or contact lenses since, for the first time in 27 years. I am delighted with the results (my sight is now confirmed as 20/20). I cannot recommend the AccuVision clinic/team enough for their professional manner, expertise and care, I am so glad that I choose to book them and couldn’t ask for any better service.
Eve Pratt
I am absolutely delighted with my laser eye treatment and the after care received. My prescription was such, that the high street laser eye treatment centres would not consider me for treatment. I was delighted when I approached Accuvision for a free consultation and it was confirmed exactly what could be achieved. I could not believe the difference when I left the clinc when everything was so clear without my glasses. I cannot thank Accuvision enough for making the procedure as pleasant as possible. Everyone was so professional and efficient I would recommend Accuvision to anyone considering the treatment. Eve

This was the best thing I have done and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of having laser surger but is apprehensive. Accuvision were great, nothing was too much bother and they were very professional. It is so great not to have to wear lenses or glasses.
Sarah Whittall
Just returned from my first holiday since having laser eye surgery at Accuvision. Spent one week in Tenerife, swam under water (with eyes open) travelled on the plane with no contact lenses, no glasses and no hassle. Its like reliving the excitement of the first moments of being able to see. I had surgery in June and my eyes are now completely normal. I did use the Celivisc drops once on the outbound flight, but not once since, ABSOLUTELEY FANTASTIC. Thanks again Accuvision!
Scott Whyte
I had bilateral Lasik surgery on, Monday,31/07/2006 at the London clinic and I can only praise the highly professional manner and expertise I was shown. The consultation with Mr Vik Patel was extremely thorough and caring allaying any doubts or fears. The surgeon Mr Chad Rostron discussed in detail the process again, leaving me in no doubt what to expect and during surgery I received a supportive commentary. To an efficient aftercare from reliable staff. If your enquiring re.laser eye surgery look no further, from one satisfied customer. Thankyou AccuVision.

I had my surgery on 31/07/06 at Accuvision in Fulham by Mr Chad Rostron. I was very nervous but can honestly say that the proceedure was totally pain free, I have had much more discomfort at the dentists. My prescription was -2.25 in both eyes with slight astigmatism and I had worn glasses or contacts for 26years. I had my six week check up yesterday and my vision was just about 20/20 in my right eye and slightly better in my left eye. I had a slightly dry right eye for the first two weeks but this has virtually disappeared now and I am very pleased with my vision. Mr Rostron and his team were very calm, kind and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody considering laser eye surgery.

I had surgery on 31st August at Solihull and the result has been excellent. I didn't really believe that it would be painless but it was, and the discomfort afterwards (less than 24 hours) easily tolerated with the help of the eye drops. My vision was a little cloudy for a couple of days but is now perfect. I have no hesitation in recommending Accuvision. Very professional and friendly.

If you are thinking about getting this done - do not hesitate, it is fantastic. I had the full custom wavefront Lasik at Accuvision in London, and now have perfect vision in both eyes, better than 20:20. The customer care at Accuvision was great, they really spend time going through the procedure with you, and are not pushing you into getting it done, they want you to make the best decision. They explained exactly what they were measuring, what the procedure would entail, and what any after effects might be. There was plenty of time to ask questions, and I really felt I was given the information I needed to make my own decision. I won't pretend that the procedure itself is fun, but it is remarkably short, and I didn't feel any pain or discomfort whatsoever, and the surgeon and nurses allowed plenty of time for me to get comfortable. Within minutes, both eyes had been done, and after the 15 minutes of rest, I could already see there was a marked improvement. I stayed at a hotel in Earls Court, so I could have my check-up the next day. My vision was a bit blurry all day, and I couldn't read or watch TV. My hotel room was on the ninth floor, and when I woke up the next morning, the view from the window was incredible - I could read a billboard in Hammersmith! The horizon was crisp and clear, and I could see the individual leaves on trees. Honestly, do not hesitate, the anxiety of the procedure is nothing compared to the fantastic results. Perfect vision, no more glasses or contacts. Accuvision also went the extra mile, as I went travelling 6 weeks after the procedure, and they arranged for me to have my check-up in Sydney with a contact out there. A huge thanks to Vik, who guided me through the preliminary assessments, and check-ups, and to Daryus, who did a great job on my eyes, and who put me in touch with Paul Hughes in Sydney. You do an incredible job, and to anyone considering this - honestly, it's a piece of cake, and worth every penny. I did research clinics beforehand, and thought that Accuvision seemed to have the best equipment and the best after-care, and I am really pleased I used them, they were professional and caring, and didn't use the pushy sales techniques you get from the more ubiquitous high-street clinics. Thank you, Accuvision. Andy Taylor

I had been wearing glasses for 16 years and decided that i had enough of them. I was recommended to Acquvision by my husbands friend and booked a consultation for Monday 14th August 2006, the staff were very polite and i booked my surgery for the next day. I have now perfect 20/20 vision and i cannot thank the staff for all the help, understanding and giving me a new lease of life. I have bought 3 pairs of non-prescription sunglasses!! I would urge anybody just thinking about laser vision to book a consultation.
Gareth Roberts
Back at my work monitor 48hrs after having my eyes corrected! I cannot express how amazing the results have been but also how comfortable I was made to feel both before and during the procedure. I've only had my first review visit so far, but that was also brilliant. I think it's fair to say that this is one of the best things I've ever done and think Accuvision are simply fab.
