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
Simon Kelk
First of all, I would like to say I didn’t take laser eye surgery lightly. I did all the research I could possibly do into all of the issues relating to the various types of surgery available. I also watched a youtube video showing the surgery itself just to try and put myself off.
Accuvision were exceptionally professional from the word go and I was treated very well indeed. I opted to go to London for my surgery but my initial consultation was in Leeds at Simon Falk’s Optometrists. Simon was very open and clear at explaining all the relevant information and I felt very well informed.
On the day of surgery I took a train/tube to the clinic which was very conveniently located near to Parson’s Green tube station. The clinic itself was very nice and comfortable. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which put me at ease. The actual procedure was very quick and my surgeon very adept at what he was doing. I felt no pain or discomfort even though I was fighting all the way.
The next day my right eye was perfect. My left took a little more time to catch up but I was given exceptional after care and nothing was left to chance. They made sure that nothing was wrong and reassured me that everything would be fine (I was a rare reactor to the steroid drops). I would say if you are even slightly concerned about issues after this treatment then Accuvision is the clinic for you because they have absolutely second to none aftercare.
Now, 11 days after the procedure my eyes are fantastic! I am looking out the window now and I feel like superman! I can see detail on things that are 100’s of meters away.
I was 20/20 with glasses but this is definitely something else! Not only can I see clean detail from far away, but I can pick out clear details. Colours are much more vivid and alive. It is hard to explain but everything looks more upbeat!
This isn’t as good as glasses – it is MILES BETTER!!!!

This was the best money I have ever spent. If you are looking for great people, unbelievable amounts of support and 2020 vision this is the place, Accuvision, I would recommend.
The optometrist was lovely and very helpful with the questions that I had, he also gave me a realistic view on things and I felt that I was being given good, honest advice.
The opp was approx 2 mins per eye and after that my vision has improved dramatically. I had near perfect vision with in a couple of hours.
I hope this helps and good luck with the surgery if you choose to have.

Linda White
I had my laser treatment on the 15th March 2008 at Accuvision after being turned down as unsuitable for LASIK treatment by two well known clinics.
The whole experience was reassuring and the staff more than welcoming and helpful.
The treatment went great and I would recommend anybody suitable to go along to Accuvision for advise.
Thank you all so much.

I’ve had the operation 3 years ago and my vision is perfect, 20/20. I’ve been examined by various eye specialists since then and all of them always state how good the operation has been. I would like to thank Accuvision and definitely recommend it to anybody who is thinking of laser eye treatment. Accuvision is the best…
Karen Farrell
This is the best decision I have made! My sight was -7 and now I have better than 20/20.
The staff were fantastic all the way through the process and the aftercare. i have already recommended two friends who have now had there treatments
Helena Crowe
From the moment I walked through the door until being told my corneas had completely healed and my vision was back to 20/20 every single member of the accuvision team were 100% professional.
They provided accurate, honest assesments of what to expect during surgery and their estimates of my recovery time were spot on.
One of the guys even came and held my hand for me during surgery as I was a little nervous!
I cannot recommend them enough.
Thanks guys!

It has been over 2 years since i had my eyes lasered at Accuvision and th check up I had recently revealed that I still have 20/20 vision. Nothing has changed; it’s still as good as it was 2 years ago.
The team make you as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure and are with you every step of the way.
Andrew Cartwright
My prescription was fairly unusual, with an astigmatism of -0.5 (I think that is right!) and now I have 20 / 20 vision. Great result, considering the serious astigmatism I had. Not only did this surgery convince me they had the industry leading equipment, they had the cheek to be £1100 cheaper than their competitors. (I would never advise picking a surgery on price alone, as you really are looking for the best result!) Go and see this bunch and you’ll wonder why you did not get it done sooner! Highly recommended!
