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.

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
Mark
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?
Gareth Rees
Accuvision provided me with a free initial consultation which was very thorough and professional. Based on this I knew I was in the right hands and decided to have the surgery. On the day of surgery everything went well with a perfect outcome. The after care is just as thorough. In addition I thought the cost of surgery was very affordable. I am delighted with the outcome of my experience at Accuvision. The surgery has been life changing and I have already recommended others to Accuvision!
