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.
Kirsty Brooks
Everyone on the team was absolutely wonderful and super friendly! It was massively appreciated that there was no pressure and they remember your face. I'd recommend these guys to anyone considering laser eye surgery, after visiting several other clinics these guys came across as the best and friendliest.
Dawn Elliott
I had severe short sight (-8.50) Laser is the best thing ever , never thought it would be so easy. Procedure was over within minutes and no pain ! Team were so reassuring and put me at ease. I rested that day and the next day i could see and felt great. Just wish i had done it years ago.
Anthony Leonard Baker
As my great love is singing and belong to a choral society and a church choir, I was near to having to resign from both as the varifocals I was wearing were not precise enough to delineate the ledger lines, crochets and minims. Since my visit and subsequent treatment by Accuvision my whole prospect has changed to the point that my vocal timing has improved, I no longer need to try and focus on the music for those micro seconds and find the rest of the choir has moved on.

I had severe short sight (-8 and -10). Also have rosacea. Worn hard contact lenses for 30 years. Hated glasses and concerned that when I get older how will I manage contact lenses. My eyes were also getting tired in the evenings with lenses. Had LASIK monovision in October. Was told that I may not get full 20/20 vision and may need low prescription lenses still and healing would take about 6 months due to high prescription. I was driving 3 days later. Occasional mild bluriness and getting used to monovision has settled over the months and 4 months on I have 20/20 vision! The clinical team were faultless and came over as extremely confident, competent and reassuring telling me that they would not take any risks with my eyesight - a major worry when you have struggled with poor eyesight all your life. Aftercare fantastic. A wonderful Painless miracle. Love being able to fall asleep without having to get up to take lenses out and being able to see in the shower!

I cannot fault Accuvision, from start to finish my experience has been first class. Although I shopped around and had several consultation's I immediately felt comfortable with Accuvision from the moment I stepped through the door. Simon @ Leeds clinic, located in Wetherby, was honest and thorough and fully explained EVERYTHING I wanted to know. Daryus (founder & clinical director) of Accuvision was also at the clinic on the day of my appointment and he took the time to sit and talk with my husband and I which we greatly appreciated. He also introduced me to a patient who had previously had his eyes lasered so I could have another opinion. Excellent personal care and attention is provided by the whole team. Surgery was over in a blink of an eye - no pain, just a strange sensation when procedure was taking place. Clinical team - excellent. The deciding point for me was the fact that they DO NOT take risks with your eyes - they have a safer limit, than that offered by other competitors (that I enquired with) for the amount they are prepared to laser down to to provide your clearer vision. Thorough check ups, which I have attended since my surgery at end of March 2010, have proved that the surgery was worth every penny. The technology, experience, knowledge and dedication provided by Accuvision is second to none and I would highly recommend, without a shadow of a doubt, that anyone should seriously consider using Accuvision. My dad is having his surgery tomorrow.

I had my eyes done on 29th January 2010, I was worried about the surgery and very apprehensive at the time, all my questions were answered by the Accuvision team. They re-assured me and answered every question I asked. I have to say I'm 43 yrs old and I have to say I made the best decision I've ever made in my life by having laser eye surgery! I have only one regret........that i never did it years ago!!! I can recommend Accuvision and infact I have, 4 people I have recommended have ALL had laser eye surgery and like me are delighted with the service they have received. Go and have a free consultation you wont regret it.........I didn't. Michael :-)

I have been wearing glasses and contacts for 23 years. I have always put off LASIK due to the cost... I waited too long. Accuvision is money well spent. I have never been happier in my life. It's amazing the feeling of being able to wake up and see what time it is. Watch television without having to put on my glasses. Read things from far away. If you are considering LASIK.. Go get a free consultation. There was no pressure to commit to do anything. The staff was very professional. All i can say is thank you and i waited too long..
Kostya Kovalchuk
The results of the operations (I had 3 to curb the progress of keratoconus) exceeded any expectations with 1 eye vision improvement to 100 percent. Thank you Accuvision!
Encarna Ruiz
I had been considering eye laser surgery for more than 3 years but I felt insecure about the long term consequences of the procedure. After considering several offers I went for the Laser eye treatment with Accuvision. I have not regretted it. The customer service was excellent and my eyes have recovered their full vision.
Lisa Hobbs
To corss link or not to cross link..that is the question. Having read an article written in Engineering & Technology last in 2010 I was inspired to make contact with Accuvision. I would highly recommend the excellent team at New Kings Road Clinic who have been thorough, patient and entirely professional throughout the course of my treatment. Special thanks must be for Anthony who patiently took time to assess me and to explain what would happen; Clayton who kept my mind off what was going on; Joan and Vikash for their follow up care and patience in their assessment/fitting of a new contact lens fitting to maximise my function. All in all a splendid job guys! Work still in progress on my part to get my brain to switch to looking through the other eye, but bliss to have a comfortable lens. Will see you soon (no pun intended!) to get the other one done. Many thanks to the whole team for giving someone with keratoconus some hope of improving their condition having been told for 23 years that there is nothing that can be done.
