Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

After a disappointing experience at Ultralase (you can read my experience in their page) I went to Accuvision for the initial check-up. It was a completely different story, staff was very friendly but what impressed me the most was that the outcome of each exams was discussed with me, I was shown graphs, numbers and explained their meaning and what they meant in terms of surgery for me. Because of the shape of my right eye, I was told that I was really borderline and that the only surgery they would perform is Epi-Lasik which is relatively new for the UK and was explained all the differences in terms of surgery and possible results. I went home and did a lot of reading about Lasek (offered by Ultralase) and Epi-Lasik and found the latter a much better and safer solution. Booked my surgery the day after. I had it on the 6th of February, the surgery was completely painless and so was the first week. I was told that Epi-Lasik can be more painful than Lasik but I did not feel pain at all, the first day I was in tears most of the time and the first 2-3 days I was very sensitive to light but that was it. Yesterday I had my 6 week check-up, my left eye is 20/15 which is amazing and my right eye (which was the one difficult to predict) has 20/20. Night vision is very good too. I can only spot a slight difference in night vision acuity when I'm really tired. I would not have any doubt in recommending Accuvision to anyone looking into eye surgery, it was the best thing I've ever done.

Oh......I'm so pleased with my vision. I have just had my 3 month check-up today. I had mono vision performed on 24/11/05.[that means I had one eye lasered for long vision and the other fot short vision] Having worn glasses for the past 10 years I can see beautifully. I cannot fault the service at all times of Accuvision and thoroughly recommend them.

I'm typing this the day after surgery and still cannot believe that I no longer need glasses. I've just had my first check up and I have 20/20 vision. Yes it's a little hazy but I can see. The surgery was so quick I was in the clinic for an hour and a half but surgery time was only 10 minutes. Even on leaving the surgery I could read number plates which, my sister who accompanied me, couldn't without her glasses. The procedure was uncomfortable, but not painful and be preapred for a slight burning smell but it's worth it. The staff were lovely too, I was talking and even laughing with the the surgeons and nurses whilst having it done! And they fully explained everything to me throughout. I'd researched a lot of other clinics and been umming and ahhing for years but I knew as soon as I spoke to the surgeon on my first consultation that this was the place to go. Now after 18 years of glassess wearing I can see, I can see, I can see. I'm off to bore more people with this revelation...

Hello there, I am thinking about having surgery done with Accuvision in Solihull. Is there anybody with experience of that clinic? Thanks

I hope to have surgery in a few weeks time at Accuvision Fulham. Has anybody out there had Epi-Lasek who can give me some feedback on the surgery,post operative effects, after care etc. Has anybody had surgery from Brett Halliday, he appears well qualified and experienced.

I spent 10 long years hiding behind glasses, hating every moment. I was unsuitable for contact lenses, I was told that I wouldn't be able to have laser surgery either. But after weeks of badgering by my daughter, I booked a consultation with Accuvision (thinly disguised as a London day trip incase I chickened out). I couldn't believe it when they told me that not only could they give me treatment, but that it would only take about ten minutes! The only draw back was the slight discomfort during the treatment, and being forced to rest and eat chocolates all afternoon. Because I had a stigmatism, they tailored my treatment so that my left eye is for reading and my right is for distance, luckly they work together, and any fears of looking like a lizard have been resolved. My night driving, although a little hazy to begin with, is fine now. Everyone at the centre were extremely kind and supportive, and had the kind of attitudes that you would expect when you are putting one of your most valuable senses in their hands. Wish I had done it years ago. Thanks again.

PRE OP - Petrified POST OP - AMAZED, RELIEVED, WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE! It took me 7 years to have this procedure done, a few friends had success with Accuvision and I finally decided to do it. I was so nervous on the day that I talked myself into all kinds of scenarios. It wasn't the most comfortable or pleasant procedure, and I wasn't ready for the intense burning sensation in my eyes for a couple of hours after BUT I CAN SEE!!! All the staff were SO friendly and understanding about my fear, I could not have asked for nicer people. I would recommend anyone who is tired of lenses and glasses to JUST GO FOR IT! I wake every morning with a sense of wonder and what I can see Thank you!

Hey Everyone, I just had my eyes lasered on 27/02/06 and i have 20/20 vision in both eyes. I am so happy iv told just about everyone i know i had it done LOL. Right, down to my experience it happened so quick as it only takes a few minutes to do for each eye. If you are getting it done stay calm as there is no pain then once done DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES WHATSOEVER as this will probably cause major complications. After surgery i went straight home to my bed and kept my eyes closed for the rest of the day whilst inserting eye drops every hour. Literally the next day i woke up shocked to see really clear. Make sure you take enough time off work my personal need was at least a week as i needed to slowly and safely get used to my new eyes plus i wanted it to heel as much as possible before i went back to my stinking computer at work Lol. Its been 8 days now and my eyes are still adjusting and varying, as in my left eye is better one day then my right is better another so i reckon a couple more weeks it should be sweet. I Cant thank everyone in Accuvision they are all profesional and make you feel easy at all times. I did a lot of research before doing this surgery and knew Accuvision is pretty much the best out there and although you cant put a price on eyes its really good value and worth every penny. If you are not sure whether to go for a consultation then you have no idea what you are missing!!! I will keep you all posted on my monthly check up!!

A very positive experience. I came to this site before I chose to go with Accuvision in Fulham. I've followed eye surgery for many years but always thought it too risky. The most recent techniques have cut down risk substantially and make a positive outcome for high myopes like myself a really good chance. My prescription was -8 in both eyes and slight astigmatism, no other major problems. I had custom lasik on Thursday and have carefully followed the regime since then. My vision is better than 20/20 some 3 days later and getting better! I've religiously stuck to the post-op regime, including keeping my eyes closed for most of the time immediately following the op. A very professional company with ultra-modern equipment, and they're looking for perfection if they can achieve it. It's a fantastic result that puts an end to 33 years of wearing glasses.

thinking of having laser eye treatment done soon but am worried about driving at night. has anyone had problems with night time driving?
