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

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.
Abid Samee
It's been just over 5 months since I had laser eye surgery at Accuvision and I am delighted with the results. Everything from the first phone call to the actual surgery to the follow up checks were handled with such professionalism.

It’s exactly one year since I underwent laser eye surgery and I am delighted with my decision - the results have far exceeded my expectations, and I feel it’s the best money I have ever spent on myself! The discomfort of the procedure was minimal, and I was fortunate to have a speedy recovery without any complications. I was back at work the next day! My vision is now close to 20/20, and I have not even experienced some of the common side effects such as dry eye. I feel less irritation and sensitivity from wind or smoke than before, and I’m sure my night vision is better than ever. The need to buy a new pair of glasses initially prompted me to go for a consultation at a couple of clinics in order to get further advice and information about the procedure. The research I subsequently undertook quickly convinced me of the benefits, and I scheduled to have wavefront treatment at Accuvision on the 3rd August 2005. The reason I chose this clinic was because I was very impressed the professional experience and expertise of the surgeons, as well as their use of the more advanced laser equipment technology available on the market. The affordable cost and convenience of the no interest payment plan offered was an added bonus. My delay in posting these comments are no reflection of my level of satisfaction. I am THRILLED with the freedom it has given me in my everyday life! It’s great to see clearly without the aid of glasses or contact lense – it’s like a miracle cure! I would definitely recommend anyone to consider this procedure as an alternative option to vision correction. A BIG thank you to Mr Rostron and all the staff team @ ACCUVISION for taking such good care of my eyes!

I had my treatment yesterday and am already happily using my PC again. The best I hoped for was to regain my distance vision as I love driving and a variet of outdoor pursuits. The result has surpassed my wildest dream and given that it was only done yesterday and today at the check up I was pronounced 20/20 vision I am delighted. My friends are totally amazed and the whole experience at Accuvision was proffessional,sympathetic, yes I was nervous, but reassured by all I met. So my thanks to ALL the staff with a special thank you to Mr Chad Rostron who is superb. Kind regards from J.Ward a very satisfied patient.

I would love to hear from anyone who has undergone monovision surgery. I underwent this process two weeks ago on the 7th August and although I can see the potential for this to eventually be good I am really struggling to see well with eather eye and also have very dry eyes which I am treating with drops. Has anyone found similar results??

In summary I would like to highly recommend AccuVision. 10/10 on all counts in my opinion. {long version} My surgeon was Mr Chad Rostron and I was seen throughout the consultation, surgery day and aftercare by Mr Patel. I have just got back from my 1 week post-op check-up and have had confirmed what I already thought – my vision has been corrected to 6/6. The surgery was carried out smoothly, seamlessly and very professionally. I can honestly say I felt no pain whatsoever. My prescription was quite a simple one with a little astigmatism in my right eye. I had a consultation with a leading competitor who suggested that really I should be opting for the Rolls-Royce treatment with intralase, zyoptics and goodness knows what else at a price of £3,600. In my opinion there was a good deal of pressure to book up there and then. This same company was staffed with generally young people who at the time of my appointment were larking around. The surgery was not dissimilar to your average rented office space. I also had the experience of being shoved around to at least three different people and had to have multiple re-tests which appeared to be as a result of operator errors etc. The technology was pretty amazing though – state of the art! I then went to AccuVision in Solihull. What struck me immediately was the fact that I walked in to a spotlessly clean, sterile clinic. There was no mistaking the fact that this place did surgery seriously. I was seen by a consultant who checked my eyes over and talked me through the whole process – start to finish. I quizzed them about the lasers they use and the differences in prices between companies and service. I genuinely felt the company cared about you and was providing a good, honest and quality service at a fair price. I opted to have the surgery done pretty soon after the consultation and went to the London surgery, I have to say I was a little anxious not just about the operation but also about whether I would find a similar environment and staff. I was not disappointed and I was pleased to see the familiar face of my consultant from the previous week. Conclussion: I think that the more expensive companies maybe taking advantage of people’s fears. What price would you put on your eyes and the success of a surgery? At the end of the day though, I have normal vision after a surgery with no pain – I fail to see what over £2,000 extra could possibly have given me, especially given the issues I have suggested around customer service. !

I had my eye surgery on Thursday at the Solihull clinic and am 100% satisfied with the service and the treatment. I am normally a nervous wreck when doctors or dentists are concerned but I felt nothing but calm and relaxed at the clinic including DURING the surgery. Accuvision were recommended by several work colleagues and I myself recommend them to others.It is wonderful to be able to see clearly without specs or contacts!!

Hello. I had laser treatment at Accuvision yesterday (25th July) at 4pm..so the experience is still very fresh. My prescription was left eye - 10, right eye - 7.25, with an astigmatism of 165 in the left eye. As I was travelling from Somerset, I booked the consultation and treatment for the same day, and didn't know if I would be suitable or not for the procedure until my appointment.. At the end of the consultation I was advised that because of my unusually thin cornea (490), a 'perfect' outcome could not be achieved, and asked if I was content to undergo the treatment with the understanding that I would still need glasses or lenses for certain activivities. I had already decided that I would want to proceed, and settle for a significant improvment in vision, so I said yes. There was absolutely no pressure and in fact alternative treatments were discussed openly. A little over 24hrs later, my vision is remarkably improved, particularly distance vision. Near vision is still rather filmy, but I'm typing this with no problem. My consultant explained that the surgeon was able to cut a very thin flap, so that there was more available tissue to laser, and therefore a better outcome was likely. I was extremely impressed with the staff at Accuvision - a combination of professionalism, integrity and compassion. There was no hard sell at all, and evidently a genuine concern for the patient's wellbeing is to the fore.. The op itself was rather uncomfortable and a very strange 10 minutes, but painless and over very quickly.. So far, so good..even at this very early stage I'm delighted with the transformation in my vision..

I cannot praise the staff at Accuvision enough. This was one of the scariest times of my life and they were superb - professional, caring, thorough. I will be recommending them to anyone who wants to listen. Thanks also to those people who went before me & offered support & advice. Much appreciated.
