Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

I spent two years deliberating whether to have surgery or not and finally decided to go for it. Had the surgery 2nd November with Mr Rostron, prescription was -7.5 and -8.0. Surgery went well, slight stinging and grittiness for a few hours after surgery, but the drops relieved that. Had the checkup the next morning and both eyes were healing faster than expected. Had my one week check yesterday and I'm continuing to improve: 20/20 vision and that was on a bad eye day! Left eye is healing a little slower than right, but is getting there gradually. Getting halos and starbursts at night but was told that would clear up in a few weeks. Overall I can't believe how good my vision is! I would say I wish I'd had it years ago, but actually I'm glad I didn't. The technology has improved over the last few years so I'm glad I waited - I just wish I was younger! Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision who are very helpful and professional.

I had wavefront treatment to both eyes on 2nd November at the London clinic. My prescription was -6.5 & -7.00 and now less than 1 week later my eyes are settling down very well with no need for glasses or contact lenses anymore. I had my 24 hour check up with my vision not quite 20/20 but hopefully by my 1st week check up it will be. I am able to see very clearly which includes reading, working on the computer and watching TV. The team were all very helpfull and made me feel at ease at all times. The actual treatment took about 20 minutes and there was only a small amount of discomfort for just a few minutes on each eye. I am very pleased with the results so far and with the overall service Accuvision provided and would recommend them to other people. I will send updates as my eyes settle a little more.

I had my surgery last Wednesday (2nd Nov) and on the following day I already had 20/15 vision! It truly is amazing. I have gone from -3.00 & -3.75 to being able to see better then ever before. Being glasses free after 15 years is incredibly liberating. Everything from the word go has been 1st class, I booked the surgery on the very day of the consulation as I was so pleased with the service I received. Vik is an absolute gem, he is so caring and explains everything in such a way that is reassuring without being patronising. I'm going for my second check up in two days time but know everything will be fine. The surgery was a little scary but I only suffered stinging for about 20 minutes straight after and then a sharp gritty feeling about an hour after that which only lasted 10 minutes or so. Within 5 hours I was feeling fine. I have a little dryness now but the drops are helping. The rating of very good isn't high enough, I just can't thank Accuvision enough.

I had laser surgery on 17/10 & although I still have afew weeks to go before I reach my final improved sight the results so far are amazing. I was recommended accuvision by a Consultant Ophthalmologist (You can't get any better than that)and went for my consultation on 11/10. This was extremely thorough and professional, but at the same time Vikash was very friendly & made sure that I understood everything he was doing. He explained the surgery & the possible outcomes to me but it wasn't sugar coated and he made sure that the cons awell as the pros were clearly spelt out to me. I left accuvision that afternoon a very happy person with my deposit paid and a date for the following Monday. The surgery itself was very quick and painless. Mr Rostron & all the other staff were friendly & made me feel very at ease. I was in and out of the clinic within the hour. That day was spent resting with my eyes closed as much as possible (this was the hardest bit because it got quite boring). I experienced watery eyes, afew shooting pains & a feeling likened to when you have worn contact lenses for too long (eyes a little sore & tired). Thankfully this didn't last long. On my 24hr check up I was told that my right eye was already nearly at 20/20 vision, but a had alittle dryness in both eyes The rest of the week was fine,I was using eye drops for the dryness & had afew pains in my left eye but apart from that everything was great. I had my weekly check up yesterday with Vikash, the flaps are healing nicely & the sight is getting better by the day but I'm still having problems with the dryness(I was assured by Vikash that this wouldn't be a problem it will just take a little longer for my eyes to adjust). I was given different drops to use awell as something to use at night to help lubricate the eyes, hopefully this will sort me out. All I can say to anyone thinking of this surgery is that the staff at accuvision were & still are fantastic & supportive, the only problem for me was that I wished I'd had the money years ago to have the treatment. It has been a life changing experience for me & has already given me the freedom I've only ever been able to dream of before.

I am now 6 weeks post treatment. Overall am very pleased with Accuvission. The pre surgery info was all spot on. The staff were all very professional and friendly. Prior to surgery I had a mild prescription (-1.5) in both eyes. I now have better than 20/20 vision, and am thoroughly enjoying being able to see the details that I couldn't previously. The vision was up to 20/20 in my right eye the day after surgery, and the left one soon caught up, and is just as good now.

Good center, my vision is perfect now with no problems after surgery. They know what they do.

Being shortsighted I have been wearing glasses for about 14 years. After investigating Eye Laser Surgery for over 4 years I finally overcame my fear and phobias and booked in for surgery with Accuvision in Fulham for last Thursday 06th October 2005. I only wish I had done it sooner! The staff were extremely impressive and friendly, putting me at ease from the first moment and talking me through what was happening the whole time. They had a lovely nurse called Joan who sat and held my hand throughout the whole. My main fear (having witnessed the procedure on television) was the "eye clamps" used. I needn't have worried. The whole procedure for both eyes took around 8 minutes. And there was no pain at all. I felt no pain during the procedure and have experienced no pain since. The first 24 hours were very blurry and I would definately recommend that no one try to cook their own dinner the same day as surgery. Believe me you go to bed very hungry. I have been back to the clinic today for my 1st week checkup and everything is healing nicely. I already have better than 20/20 vision. I have driven at night and experienced no "halos" although I did find some headlights a little too bright but I'm told that this will improve over the next few weeks. My friend who accompanied me to the clinic on the day of surgery was so impressed with the entire operation and the clinic that she is now considering the surgery for herself. For anyone still thinking about this I would say go for it! It is scary to put yourself in such a vunerable position but believe me you are in the very best of hands with Accuvision in Fulham. I took my time and had many consultations with different clinics to get a feel of the different levels of professional care and technology available. For me Accuvision ticked all the right boxes and with their Interest Free Repayment Option it just made the whole process that more affordable. So good luck to anyone on the verge of going for this.

I have worn glasses/contact lenses for the past twenty years and without them I was fairly restricted, my eyesight was nearly minus six in both eyes and therefore I was completely reliant on my glasses if I wasn’t wearing my contacts. My choice to have the procedure done came from my wanting to play more sports/swim and not have tried eyes at the end of the day from wearing contacts. Having decided to do some research on companies I chose Accuvision. Other companies seemed too busy to even discuss booking the consultation let alone having a conversation with me. This gave me doubt; if their customer service skills were poor what are their surgical procedures like? I looked into finding out as much as possible about the surgery before the consultation with Nick in Solihull. He answered all my many, many questions and allowed my husband to be there to help me remember everything, giving me the chance to fully discuss it at home before deciding. I had the LASIK surgery on the 4th Oct with Brett and I am so pleased, the whole procedure was quick, comfortable and painless. Although it was the strangest thing I have ever experienced Brett made me feel calm, reassuring me throughout. After resting my eyes for twenty minutes when finished I opened them to realise I could see. As expected it was a little blurry I wasn’t in any pain and given instructions to go home and rest until my check-up the following day. I returned the next morning for Nick to tell me I had 20/20 vision and over the next few weeks it would get clearer and better. I went back yesterday for my weekly check-up and again Nick was pleased with the results and my eyes have healed very well. Nick asked if I had had any problems over the week and I mentioned I had felt sick for a couple of days and he explained it was due to my eyes readjusting to my new sight and causing a similar effect to travel sickness. That has gone now. My eyes are also sensitive to bright light but naturally that is due being able to see everything quite clearly and my glasses/contacts use to absorb some of the light. Also my vision goes through stages of being a little blurred, but my eye drops help. I expected this as I was informed beforehand. None of the issues bother me at all; just thought I’d keep them informed. I still have to attend a couple of regular check-ups to ensure everything is fine. For me personally it is the best thing I have every done. I am so impressed with the service, information given, the painless surgery and of course my 20/20 vision. What a fantastic result. Thank you so much.

Pre-Op: R-8.25 / -0.75 x 180 L-9.00 / -1.00 x 165 Post-Op 20/15 vision. Accuvision superb, what can I say other than being able to see unaided is an absolute miracle. Can't thank the team at Accuvision Fulham enough, I just wish that I'd done it sooner.

Excellent service from everyone at the clinic, professional, efficient, friendly and accommodating. Vision excellent.
