Accuvision Laser Eye Clinic

For a number of years I have wanted to get laser treatment and decided after much research and 2 consultations with 2 seperate companies that Accuvision (which was the 2nd consultation) was the company that instilled full confidence in my trust with them with regards to the entire procedure. I had a prescription of only -2 in both eyes and after a very efficient, professional service I now have 20/20 vision. To say that I am happy would be an understatement... If you are thinking of having the treatment I would most certainly advise the crew at Accuvision. That's all I need to say!

I came across this site very recently and felt that I had to comment on the brilliant service and outcome of my Wavefront Lasik carried out over three years ago at Accuvision. My original prescription was -6.00 and -6.50. Now my sight is better than 20/20. Remarkable when you think about it. There's been no looking back for me. I believe that Accuvision were the first clinic to routinely carry out wavefront treatments in the UK. If you are serious about getting your eyes lasered trust them to a clinic that excels. Second best was not an option for me.

I have worn glasses since I was about seven and have always been very long sighted with one in particular termed as a lazy eye. My prescription ffor contact lenses was +7 and +4.5. I had enquired to lots of clinics regarding treatment but was always told "no can do" Eventually i contacted Accuvision who advised that they could help me. I have found the whole experience with them brilliant. When i first arrived they explained I would need lots of tests before they could finally confirm whther they could treat me. They did the tests and said they could help me and I should go away and thimk it through, they explained everything in fine detail and I felt very confident when I went to have the treatment done. It has been fantastic I have extremely good vision now an can read without glasses. Considereing I had got to the point where I was having to use glasses and a magnifying glass for some books thee difference is astounding. I would recommend Accuevision to anyone who has a high long sighted prescription, it has certainly improved my life.

For 25 years I had to wear thick uncomfortable glasses for a prescription of +6.00 r/e +7.00 l/e with severe astigmatism and a very lazy l/e, so as many of you out there will know the dream of having to never wear glasses seemed unrealistic. I had been refused laser treatment twice before when I was growing up as my prescription was said to be too high. In November 2004 my life was changed forever when I found out the Accuvision would be able to treat me. Obviously, I felt nervous and had a million questions in my mind but all the staff at Accuvision put my mind at rest. I was very impressed at the relaxed and professional atmosphere I nearly forgot I was about to undergo treatment that would change my sight forever. Within 30 minutes after the treatment I walked out of the clinic with my glasses in my hand with a prescription of 0.25 in my r/e and 0.50 in my l/e (better vision than most people who don’t even need glasses). There was no pain and I could see clearly for the first time ever! My family and friends could not believe the transformation in me, I feel more confident and relaxed and most importantly I don’t have to worry about glasses/contact lenses anymore. All I would say to you is that if you are thinking about having this treatment done, just go for it, trust me that the surgeons and the staff at Accuvision truly do make dreams come true.

I thought about the procedure for a long time and checked clinics in the UK and the States. Although it is true that you will find the procedure cheaper elsewhere, the standard of service is second to none. They answered all my questions and more and will only operate on people who will truly benefit from the procedure. How much are your eyes worth to you? Mine are worth Accuvision's price. Trust them.

I had been considering lasik eye treatment for quite some time. and had spoken to a few eye treatment centers But it was only after visiting the accuvision centre in New King's Road Chelsea That I decided to go ahead. My consultation and examination a week before the operation on the 17th February 2005 was about 1 hour and answered all my questions including some silly ones. it was explained to me that as mine was an age related condition that I would still a need glasses for reading. But it would release me from having to wear glasses all the time. the results are that I now have 20 20 Vision which is astonishing when you consider that I am 61 years old and have worn glasses for the past 30 years. My only way of thanking these very friendly and professional people. apart from the cost of the operation is to write about my experience on their website.

I have had glasses since childhood. My prescription was -6.5 in both eyes. I was very aprehensive about laser eye surgery, however a few of my friends who had their surgery at Accuvision finally convinced me to go for a consultation. I have to say I was very nervous on the day of the surgery, but my fears were totally unfounded. All I felt was a slight discomfort for a couple of hours after surgery, which took less than 15 minutes. The next day I had 20/20 vision- no more glasses. A big THANK YOU to all the staff at Accuvision for transforming my life!!

I have worn glasses since childhood with a prescription of 2.25 and 4.0. I hated going indoors and experiencing the 'steaming up' effect and having to take my glasses off to do contact sports. The results of my surgery are excellent! I had 20/20 vision the day after surgery and it may get even better after my eyes have had some more time to heal. The process was unpleasant but not painful and the staff were very thorough and professional. I wake up in the morning and I can read the alarm clock; I can go swimming and do contact sports and see what I am doing. I feel liberated. Money well spent.

I HAD WORN GLASSES FROM THE AGE OF 12, I HATED WEARING THEM. IN ADULT LIFE I BECAME A SOCIAL MOTORBIKE RIDER WHICH WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT WITH WEARING GLASSES, IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WEARING A HELMET AND TRYING TO KEEP MY GLASSES ON STRAIGHT. I STARTED WEARING CONTACT LENSES BUT WITH MY TRADE AS AN ELECTRICIAN I FOUND THIS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE DUSTY ENVIRONMENT. AFTER YEARS OF PUTTING UP WITH EITHER GLASSES OR CONTACT LENSES I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO LASER EYE SURGERY. I ENQUIRED AT OPTIMAX AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFER ME LASER SURGERY BUT OFFERED PERMANENT IMPLANTABLE CONTACT LENSES BECAUSE OF MY PRESCRIPTION, WHICH WAS +4 AND +4.25 WITH ASTIGMATISM. I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE IMPLANTS BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH NORMAL CONTACT LENSES. I THEN APPROACHED ULTRALASE WHO ADVISED ME TO HAVE A CONSULTATION. I ATTENDED AND HAD AN EYE EXAMINATION AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO LASER EYE SURGERY AS I WOULD LOSE THE ABILITY TO READ A LINE ON THE EYE CHART. AFTER BEING REFUSED I WAS DEVISTATED. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS WORKING IN SOLIHULL ON THE NEW ACCUVISION CLINIC, WHERE I MET NICK AND MIKE WHO ARE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE OTHER COMPANIES AND THEY WERE NOT SUPRISED. THEY WERE VERY REASSURING AND EXPLAINED ABOUT THE NEW STYLE LASERS THAT THEY USED, WHICH MEANT THAT THEY COULD DO HIGHER PRESCRIPTIONS AND ASTIGMATISMS. I ARRANGED THEN TO HAVE A CONSULTATION AND HAD A VERY THOROUGH EYE EXAMINATION WHERE I FOUND OUT MY EYES WERE ACTUALLY +4 AND +5 WITH ASTIGMATISM, I EXPECTED AFTER FINDING THIS OUT THAT THEY LIKE THE OTHER COMPANIES WOULD REFUSE TO DO THE PROCEDURE BUT IN FACT THE OPPOSITE WAS TRUE. I WAS REASSURED THAT THEY COULD INFACT DO THE PROCEDURE AND GIVE ME BACK 20/20 VISION. I HAD THE PROCEDURE DONE IN OCTOBER 2004, WHRE I ADMIT I WAS VERY NERVOUS BUT THE STAFF WERE BRILLIANT. THEY WERE TOTALLY PROFFESSIONAL AND VERY CARING TO EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF THAT HAD THE PROCEDURE DONE THAT DAY. AFTER HAVING THE PROCEDURE THEIR AFTERCARE IS EXCELLENT, I HAD VARIOUS CHECK UPS AT ROUTINE INTERVALS. MY VISION IS STILL BEING MONITORED, I NOW HAVE 20/20 VISION WITH SOME GOOD DAYS AND SOME BAD DAYS, BUT I AM REASSURED THAT MY EYES DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF MY OLD PRESCRIPTION CAN TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS TO SETTLE DOWN. IT IS BRILLIANT AT LAST NOT TO HAVE TO RELY ON GLASSES OR LENSES I CAN DO MY TRADE WITH NO WORRIES NOW AND CAN AT LAST RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT THE INCONVENIENCE OF GLASSES. I NOW FEEL IT HAS BEEN A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR ME I CAN SEE THINGS CLEARLY THAT I NEVER COULD WITH GLASSES/LENSES. THE SOLIHULL CLINIC HAVE BEEN BRILLIANT I WOULD RECCOMEND THEM TO ANYONE LOOKING AT HAVING CORRECTIVE EYE SURGERY.

I cannot sing the praises of the Doctors and staff at Accuvision highly enough. I wish also to thank Lasik-eyes. I had been considering laser surgery for years but it was only after contacting Accuvision that I felt confident enough to go ahead with the procedure. Accuvision's 'state of the art' technology and the patience of their staff, as I asked hundreds of questions, was commendable. My prescription was –5.5 in both eyes, I’m 25 years old and I had worn glasses since I was 13. I had areas of concern when I first spoke to Accuvision. The main questions were,would be able to see as well after surgery as I did with my lenses, and would I need glasses in the future. The replies were honest and understandable no guarantees but a better than 95% chance I would see 2020 and only a small possibility of needing a reduced prescription. I was reassured with the honest approach of no guarantees albeit from their previous patients then odds were heavily in my favour. After my initial consultation, Accuvision were able to provide me with outcomes of patients with a similar prescription to mine the numbers were very good. They also explained that I would (like most people) need reading glasses after the age of 45 this would be the case if I was to continue wearing contact lenses. I went ahead with the procedure. Having surgery should give me approx 20 years of ‘glasses free’ vision after which I would probably need to start wearing reading glasses as my eye muscles weakened. The likelihood of 20 years without glasses was enough to persuade me to go ahead and have the laser eye surgery. I am a travel agent and travelling with all the kit that goes with contact lenses and then also taking specs was getting me down. I was scared perhaps terrified would be more accurate, but my fears proved to be totally unfounded. The procedure took approx 10 minutes and while it was slightly uncomfortable it did not hurt at all! My vision was instantly ‘cured’, as I left the operating theatre I was able to see my glasses on the table at the far end of the room. You are advised to keep your eyes shut as much as possible in the next few hours after the op. To be honest that was the most comfortable thing to do, as my eyes felt as if I'd over worn my contact lenses. It was an amazing feeling to be able to read car number plates without glasses as I left Accuvision and walked out. My eyes felt gritty for about 4 hours. That evening I went out for a meal confident in my vision only a slight haziness, which cleared over the next few days. Now with the opening of a Midlands clinic close to the NEC I have my appointments with the clinic staff there. I can not congratulate the staff at both the Accuvision Centres. Also I would like to thank this web site for the help in navigating my way to a successful outcome of better than 2020. I am surprised at the volume of testimonials that you have collected. It was this volume and diversity of patients both on lasik-eyes and Accuvision that helped me build up the confidence to undertake this “life changing” surgery. THANKS LASIK-EYES and ACCUVISION. I cannot stress how much easier life is without having to worry about lenses and solutions and glasses. I have travelled abroad a number of times and thank god for Accuvision. If you are considering laser eye surgery. Don’t be frightened at least ask the questions.
