What our Patients say

I would first love to thank Accuvision for giving me a new lease of Life. I chose them because they were the only clinic able to correcy my vision, I am -11.5 in both eyes; other clinics were offereing me the implantable lense which is something I personally did not want to have.
Throughout every stage i was given the best guidance and care by their experienced staff!They were very honest from the start and said that because of my high prescription I may need glasses for some things, and I was totally prepared for this, but it has been a week since I had them done and although still sometimes hazy (this will go over time)they have told me I will not need glasses!!
It still feels so surreal to think that I can see for the first time in 22 Years, its truly amazing and I cant thank them enough for changing my life!I have had this whole new world opened up to me!
Thank you for putting the sparkle back in my eyes :O)

I have been wearing glasses since the age of 2 and was a -13 before my eyes were treated, i was starting to become intolerant to contact lenses and was running out of options which meant that i may have had to give up some hobbies. No other clinic would treat me because of my prescription until I found accuvision. It has now been 2 years and I still have excellent vision and no problems, my night vision has improved as a result.

The staff are lovely and friendly and always at the end of a phone should you need any advice. I have continued to go to the clinic for my yearly check-up’s because the quality of care is so good.

Thank-you so much for giving me my sight back.

I have just had my 2nd year check up at Accuvision. I had a procedure called CLEAR LENS EXCHANGE with implants, perfomed by Chad Rostron. It has changed my life visually! I am still in wonder each day as I wake and see clearly, having been a contact lens wearer for 40 years. I have monovision, so one eye for reading, one eye for distance, no glasses needed. WONDERFUL. I had no idea that this treatment was available. I went initially for laser advice. Alas, I was too severly short-sighted, so the consultant (Vikash) suggested lens implants would be more appropriate. I have been treated with so kindly, professionally and with great aftercare. THANKS TO ALL AT ACCUVISION…
WHAT A GREAT TEAM!

Not being one to rush into things, I’ve left it a while before posting this feedback. I visited two providers in January 2008. One (well known and heavily advertised) did not impress me and seemed to be concerned with the hard sell. Accuvision did impress me, but the cutting of the flap bit of Lasik put me off (I have been a Moorfields patient for many years but had never had any invasive treatment). Finally, six months later I returned, and had the treatment. This was after taking advice from various sources and speaking with Accuvision staff, all of whom were, are, excellent.

The treatment was quick and entirely painless. Indeed, it was fascinating. All over in what seemed like 10 minutes. Minus 6 plus astigmatism cured. I see very well without correction but need readers (to be expected when you are my age). This is absolutely no inconvenience. I had worn specs or contact lenses since I was 13. The liberation is fantastic. I can swim and see where I am going, and easily wear sunglasses without complicated prescriptions. It has made an incredible difference to my life and self image, something people with similarly high prescriptions will understand, I’m sure.

I was helped by reading feedback on this page, and hope this helps others. The treatment was quick and, for me, entirely pain free. Accuvision impressed me hugely. And I am equally appreciative of all those backroom people who developed and refined lasers for medical treatment. It is a kind of miracle to see, unaided, after nearly forty years of high prescription lenses.

Researched beforehand, made decision to go with Accuvision as best options, equipment. Excellent care & information provided, I wore glasses for reading ets, long vision was ok. The result is Amazing.. I am so happy, now I can sit at the computer all day- at work (call centre) read supermarket price labels, my mobile, no more on / off with the glasses constantly, its a revelation.

I’ve had my eyes lasered successfully at Accuvision in Solihull on the 16 Jan 09. I was concerned however that i wouldn’t be suitable as my short sight prescription was high, -7.50 and -8.25 with astigmatism and I’ve been wear hard contacts for over 30 years.

Thankfully though my very bumpy corneas (looking more like a craggy mountain than a big dome) were rehabilitated on the advice of Nick Dash by wearing soft lenses for a couple of months then awful thick glasses for a week. Then I was ready for the op.

All over pretty quickly. Quite an odd and uncomfortable procedure but not especially painful (A bit worse than having a filling at the Dentist). I was in the hands of a very experienced Chad Rostron which put me at ease. Eyes a bit sore for the rest of the day but by the time I came for the next days check up my vision was great and good enough to drive. Even the near vision was improved which was unexpected.

Back in June 2008 I had an appointment at Accuvision in Fulham with the hope of having Wavefront treatment on my eyes. I was very long sighted (approx +6.5 in left eye and +3.5 in right eye). I was very disappointed to be told that I was not a suitable candidate because my corneas were too steep. I was then told that I was potentially suitable for the lens implant. There was no hard sell and all of the risks and implications (such as needing 6 monthly check ups for ever and needing further surgery when I am older to remove my natural lens – I was 35 when I had the operation) and after thinking about it I arranged to see Chad Rostron who would be doing the procedure. All my questions were answered as well as possible so I had my left eye done in July and right eye 3 weeks later in August.

I personally found the procedure awful and hated it. If it wasn’t for the fact that I wanted to not have to wear glasses or contact lenses I would not have had the 2nd eye done but I did and am glad that I did.

I did have some pain in one eye after the procedure and went to see Vik who gave me some extra steroid drops to help the healing.

My prescription is now approx -1.5 in my left eye and -0.5 in my right so slight over correction but it is manageable and I have got used to it now and wear glasses occasionally for driving at night for example. I was surprised at how long my brain took to adjust to the different prescription in my eyes but everything has settled now. Overall I am very happy to not be needing contact lenses or glasses all the time!

I would like to thank Vik for being wonderfully supportive and reassuring.

Would recommend Accuvision to anyone for their Customer Service and the fact that they treat you like an individual not a number, no matter how scared you are. I was terrified on the day of the surgery but looking back now it was the best thing that I ever did!

Having wanted to have this surgery for nearly 10 years, it took a lot of courage to just call Accuvision and make an appointment. A good friend of mine recommended Accuvision, so I made the consultation appointment. I had Vikash for my consultation and instantly felt at ease with him. I felt confident that he would give me all the information I needed to make an informed decision.

After the consultation, they gave me all the available appointments & I was able to book in 2 days later for the surgery. I was rather nervous the day of the surgery, but once I got there everything moved quickly, and I was literally in & out of surgery within 15 minutes! There was no pain or discomfort & the team were extremely professional & friendly.

The after care offered by Accuvision is fantastic, they are available even if you have the tiniest worry. I can’t thank the whole team at Accuvision London enough, but particularly Vikash who made me feel comfortable enough to trust them with my eyes.

The outcome is phenomenal, I could not be happier.
