This was the best thing I have done and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of having laser surger but is apprehensive. Accuvision were great, nothing was too much bother and they were very professional. It is so great not to have to wear lenses or glasses.
Just returned from my first holiday since having laser eye surgery at Accuvision.
Spent one week in Tenerife, swam under water (with eyes open) travelled on the plane with no contact lenses, no glasses and no hassle.
Its like reliving the excitement of the first moments of being able to see. I had surgery in June and my eyes are now completely normal.
I did use the Celivisc drops once on the outbound flight, but not once since, ABSOLUTELEY FANTASTIC.
Thanks again Accuvision!
I had bilateral Lasik surgery on, Monday,31/07/2006 at the London clinic and I can only praise the highly professional manner and expertise I was shown. The consultation with Mr Vik Patel was extremely thorough and caring allaying any doubts or fears. The surgeon Mr Chad Rostron discussed in detail the process again, leaving me in no doubt what to expect and during surgery I received a supportive commentary. To an efficient aftercare from reliable staff. If your enquiring re.laser eye surgery look no further, from one satisfied customer. Thankyou AccuVision.
I had my surgery on 31/07/06 at Accuvision in Fulham by Mr Chad Rostron. I was very nervous but can honestly say that the proceedure was totally pain free, I have had much more discomfort at the dentists. My prescription was -2.25 in both eyes with slight astigmatism and I had worn glasses or contacts for 26years. I had my six week check up yesterday and my vision was just about 20/20 in my right eye and slightly better in my left eye. I had a slightly dry right eye for the first two weeks but this has virtually disappeared now and I am very pleased with my vision. Mr Rostron and his team were very calm, kind and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody considering laser eye surgery.
I had surgery on 31st August at Solihull and the result has been excellent. I didn’t really believe that it would be painless but it was, and the discomfort afterwards (less than 24 hours) easily tolerated with the help of the eye drops. My vision was a little cloudy for a couple of days but is now perfect.
I have no hesitation in recommending Accuvision. Very professional and friendly.
I can whole heartedly recommend ACCUVISION to anyone thinking about laser eye surgery. My experience with them was friendly, painless, and successful to the extent that after having to use corrective vision aids since the age of 10 (I’m now 47), I am now free of contact lenses and glasses for daily use such as TV and driving, (not reading).
I first interrogated the internet and found OPTICAL EXPRESS, advertising £395.00 per eye, so I booked an appointment, they were very thorough but when it came to prices they quoted me £1250.00 per eye as my prescription included both short sightedness and a stigmatism in both eyes. I was going to have it done, but when I went back for a second consultation I was asked to sign a consent form, which would not have been a problem if they hadn’t just applied drops to my eyes rendering my vision blurred. I told them that I was going to take the form home to read, and when I was ready to read it, I would sign it and arrange another appointment. I went home, by which time my sight had returned, read the form, and phoned up for another appointment. I was told that I would receive a phone call to arrange one
I’m still waiting???. Anyway the moral to this story is shop around as I did and found ACCUVISION. They only have two premises they trade from, they are small and friendly. I used the FULHAM premises, and although all the staff were very nice, I found JUNE, the optician with her sweet Irish voice very reassuring and calming, and she certainly knows her onions. The consultation was very thorough, and once again the price far exceeded the advertised blurb. I moaned of course, but it was explained in laymen’s terms that my prescription warranted a particular type of laser treatment, which meant extra cost. In fairness to both OPTICAL EXPRESS and ACCUVISION their blurb does state that the cost will be according to prescription. The surgery was booked; I attended on the arranged day, met the surgeon, signed the consent form, (before drops were applied), laid down, watched a disco light show for about 5 minutes, and then was told to go home. My vision was immediately noticeably better, even though my eyes were gritty and a little sore. I applied the drops, wore the eye pads in bed, and the next day returned to FULHAM for a check up, and the removal of the contact lens bandages. (Didn’t even know I had them in), I was told that all was well and to return in 1 week which I did. All was well again, and I have since returned for a six week check up. All was well with my vision, at least the same as when I wore contact lenses if not better. I have found however that now that I’m an old git, my reading still requires some form of corrective vision, so I popped down to Tesco’s and bought some off the shelf reading glasses for £5.00. Apparently reading is controlled by a different part of the brain, and this can’t be corrected by laser treatment. Anyway if you’re still with me after this long winded testimony, I am happy to recommend a painless, quick and friendly service from the ACCUVISION team
..Well done.

If you are thinking about getting this done – do not hesitate, it is fantastic. I had the full custom wavefront Lasik at Accuvision in London, and now have perfect vision in both eyes, better than 20:20.
The customer care at Accuvision was great, they really spend time going through the procedure with you, and are not pushing you into getting it done, they want you to make the best decision. They explained exactly what they were measuring, what the procedure would entail, and what any after effects might be. There was plenty of time to ask questions, and I really felt I was given the information I needed to make my own decision.
I won’t pretend that the procedure itself is fun, but it is remarkably short, and I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort whatsoever, and the surgeon and nurses allowed plenty of time for me to get comfortable.
Within minutes, both eyes had been done, and after the 15 minutes of rest, I could already see there was a marked improvement.
I stayed at a hotel in Earls Court, so I could have my check-up the next day. My vision was a bit blurry all day, and I couldn’t read or watch TV. My hotel room was on the ninth floor, and when I woke up the next morning, the view from the window was incredible – I could read a billboard in Hammersmith! The horizon was crisp and clear, and I could see the individual leaves on trees.
Honestly, do not hesitate, the anxiety of the procedure is nothing compared to the fantastic results. Perfect vision, no more glasses or contacts.
Accuvision also went the extra mile, as I went travelling 6 weeks after the procedure, and they arranged for me to have my check-up in Sydney with a contact out there.
A huge thanks to Vik, who guided me through the preliminary assessments, and check-ups, and to all the staff who looked after me.
You do an incredible job, and to anyone considering this – honestly, it’s a piece of cake, and worth every penny.
I did research clinics beforehand, and thought that Accuvision seemed to have the best equipment and the best after-care, and I am really pleased I used them, they were professional and caring, and didn’t use the pushy sales techniques you get from the more ubiquitous high-street clinics.
Thank you, Accuvision.

Having worn glasses or contacts for 26years I decided to research laser eye surgery. I spent a lot of time on the internet and then went to Accuvision in London after two friends recommended it. I was very impressed with the initial consultation and competitive price. However I decided that I needed to have a second opinion before I went ahead so I had a private consultation at Moorfields. This consultation confirmed everything that I had been told at Accuvision but the treatment would cost me three times as much. I could see no reasons for paying so much more for the Moorfields treatment and when I compared the cv’s of the two surgeons, Chad Rostron at Accuvison had more experience. So on the 31/07/06 I had the surgery performed and found the whole experience very calm and professional. I was extremely nervous and as a nurse a notoriously bad patient, however I can honestly say that the surgery did not hurt at all and that Mr Rostron and all his team were very kind and caring. I had my 6 week check up yesterday and all is well, just about 20/20 in my right eye and slightly better in my left. I had a little bit of dryness in the right eye during the first two weeks but this has now virtually disappeared. I would not hesitate in recommending Accuvision for your laser eye surgery.
I had custom lasek treatment back in March. It was the best decision I have ever made. I didn’t have really bad eyes (prescription of -1 in both eyes)but due to being a police officer this did affect me and I didn’t want to wear glasses. I tried contacts but couldn’t even get them in my eye! I was worried about the procedutre and went to umerous clinics for advice. I eventually chose Accuvsion as I believed they would offer the best possible treatment for a reasonable price. They were not the cheapest but were not the most expensive. The procedure lasted a few minutes and the next week was hard. However I now have 20;20 vision in both eyes and my night vision has never been clearer. It is ammazing! I would strongly recommend Accuvision to anybody. They are very friendly and professional and have given me perfect eyesight again!!
