Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I am considering having laser eye surgery and need some advise. I live in the Yorkshire area and so contacted Ultralase in Leeds. What I cant understand is the price difference quoted for Wavefront surgery. £699 here and almost £1500 with Ultralase. This seems such a huge difference in price for what I assume is the same service. Any comments please. Also, can folks say the 'type' of surgery they have had. ie; Lasek, Lasik, Wavefront etc. And has anyone had surgery in Leeds and by what surgeon. I am trying to work through the confusion here and would genuinely appreciate an comments. Paul.........

Question to Sarah Whittall - could you tell me which surgeon treated you.

Just thought I would give you a little update as to my previous opticians response to my eyes. He said it is the best "job" he has seen in many years, he checked the blood pressure in my eyes said it is completely normal, I had an eye examination and he said that my vision was 6/6 which is the british equavalent to the american 20/20, he said that I am a little long sighted, but not even enough to put a prescription to, and he also said that would probably correct itself. He also checked in the "contact lens" room the cornea and said that he could not even see where the flap had been cut. So all in all, absolutely fantastic, he said that the headaches were most likely due to the brain adjustment and nothing else. So he said he would like to see me in one year just to see if they have improved any further. He asked me which clinic i went to and i told him, he said that if any of his clients asked for a recommendation, that he would recommend them, not bad ay!

Just wanted to let everyone that read my previous posting, that the headaches are much better now, just as Accuvision predicted, two weeks and its all over, these people really know what they are talking about, thanks again to them.

I had Lasik surgery on 13th June and although I am extremely pleased with the results, I am suffering from very extreme headaches, which seem to last for days at a time, just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, and how long they are expected to last. Thank you.

Has anyone had treatment at the Birmingham clinic of Accuvision? Are the surgeons there from the London clinic?

Hi my name is Jinny and I had my eyes done at accuvision 24th April..........I was + 3.00 left with astigmatism and +2.5 right................I am very pleased with my eyes. My 2 sisters who are older then my (I am 50) had an even higher plus script and they are also really pleased with their eyes. I hope this helps you. Anyway the consultation is free and the best eye health check you can get. I was told by Mr Halliday that my scans show that behind my eyes are very narrow and this is an indication that along with my long sightedness I could develop glaucoma at some point. So now they have this info they will keep an extra check on me from now on. So not only have I got great vision now I know that my future vision is in very safe hands.........Email me if you want to kind regards Jinny.

A valuable site, but the reviews do not often state their prescription. It seems that very few +3.5 or even + any degree are commnented on. Is this due to the lack of sucess in this range?

Ok, lets try again...... All done now and absoluteley amazing, had the surgery last Tuesday, and can not beleive how painless it was, ok a little unpleasant but nothing to worry about at all, for a couple of days before all sorts of thing were going though my mind, I actually thought about cancelling and going back to contact lenses, thank god I didnt. On the day I was shaking from head to toe and all the staff were so fantastic in reassuring me, they said that they love to see people like me because I was -7.00 in both eyes, the results are so amazingly different. The surgery from start to finish took about 8 minutes, and I could see better after than before. I went home that night and sat with my eyes closed for the evening (although I kept peeking), my husband said its like having a porsche sat on the drive but not being able to drive it!, football was on tv and I kept peeking, it was amazing I could see the names on the shirts. Well now perfect, almost 20:20 on next days check up and going back again on Wednesday, but for anyone in two minds just go for it, it is absolutely fantastic, I just keep chuckling to myself, people think i'm mad. Thanks very much to all the staff at Accuvision, they have changed my life so much, they asked me to trust them with my eyes, and I am so glad I did, words cannot possible explain how greatful I am.

I am 22 years old and had Leukemia when I was 7 years old, this was treated with a bone marrow transplant. I have had problems with the new bone marrow fighting against my body giving me various problems like Rheumatoid Arthritis and cataracts. The cataracts was removed when I was 8 years old but needed to wear glasses. After looking on the internet I found a place in Bristol called Ultralase so I decided to book my self in for a free consultation. So I went all the way up to Bristol from Cornwall for my free consultation but when I got there I was told that they would not do the treatment because I had Rheumatoid Arthritis and was sent home very disappointed but I was not going to give up so I got on the internet again and found Accuvision in London so I booked up for a consultation and traveled up to London when as soon as I stepped in the door I felt at home, all the staff where kind and caring. I had my consultation and was told they would do the treatment (I couldn’t believe my dream come true). After I had the laser treatment my eyes felt like I had grit in them and my sight was blurry for the first few day but each day that went bye my eyesight just got better and better. Now I am a month past my treatment I feel my eyesight is better now then what it was like wearing glasses. Thank you to all the staff at Accuvision for treating me so kindly and making my dream come true.
