What our Patients say

Just posting a quick comment to recommend Accuvision. I had a very positive experience; a thorough consultation with friendly staff and no sales talk. Decided to go ahead with the surgery with the result that three months on I’ve gone from -5 in each eye to 0 and 0.25 on the machine and can see one line better than 20/20 on the charts. It’s great to not need glasses after twenty years – if you are thinking about the surgery then you should definitely go for a consultation at Accuvision.

Well its been 10 days since I had my eyes corrected, and I have to say the thing I found the strangest of all in the first 3 days was the fact that I went from being long sighted to being short sighted. But that is normal with long sighted people so it gave no cause for alarm. Today I had a check up and I am please to say I have 20/20 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left. My vision is very clear in the daytime. My night vision is still poor and I am not yet driving at night, but Vik assured me that this will improve over the next few weeks. (as I was already night blind any improvement will be great). My flaps are compleatly sealed and my eyes are looking brilliant on the scans. So its all looking good and that makes me one very happy bunny

I found in Accuvision the confidence I needed to go ahead with this operation. I desperately wanted this surgery but wouldn’t have gone ahead with it if I wasn’t 100% confident with them.
I had been looking into this procedure for about a year and had been to 2 other clinics. One of which was extortionately expensive and out of my budget and one of whom wanted to give me ‘lasek’ . As ‘lasek’ is usually associated with thin cornias and has a slower healing time and can regress whilst healing I was advised by an independent surgeon not to have this and that I did not need this.
Accuvison were the only people who discussed with me my longterm vision with regard to my near sight and adjusted my lasik surgery accordingly. This was something that I had already discussed with my own optician but which neither of the other two clinics I visited had addressed.
I cannot praise highly enough the professionalism of the Optometrists and the staff at Accuvison. I was given the CV of the surgeon who would perform the operation and this only made me feel more confident in my choice. The procedure itself was absolutely painless. I did wear sunglasses for the first day to help with the day light brightness but was OK following this. I did have some fluctuation in my vision during healing (about 5 weeks) but now have 20/15 vision better that 20/20. I am really delighted and hope that if you are reading this you will also make Accuvision your choice.

After spending many years thinking about laser eye surgery and researching it on the net I was finally persuaded by my aunty (an optometrist) to at least have a consultation. I choose accuvision on the basis of their exceptional results and feedback; and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. So fast and virtually painless (apart from being a bit teary the first day), the most difficult parts were forcing myself to keep my eyes shut for the first few hours (i wanted to try out my fab new vision!) and wearing the eye shields the first night – which had my boyfriend in hysterics! Previously I had a relatively straightforward -2.75 in each eye, and no astigmatism; one day after surgery I was 20/20 in each eye. Amazing. The staff were all great too- they instilled me with great confidence and calmed my nerves. I can honestly say I would rather get my eyes lasered than go to the dentist- so if you are considering it – go for it!

I had laser surgery at the AccuVision clinic in Fulham on monday. I am posting this message as a very delighted patient. All the staff from the bird at the reception to the optometrist and the surgeon were absolutely fantastic. I am still getting to terms with the fact that I wont need glasses ever again. It’s no surprise to me that AccuVision have a 100% positive rating on this site. The actual surgery only lasted about 8 minutes (that’s 4 minutes per eye). The weird thing is it doesn’t hurt. The whole thing was painless. I felt a massive difference to my sight as soon as the surgery was over. When I left the clinic (ie about 30 minutes after surgery), I could read car number plates, road signs, the departure board at the train station! This amazing experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. I’ll definitely recommend AccuVision to anyone considering laser treatment.

I have worn glasses since I was three years old. I was severely long sighted and no clinic was able to offer me treatment as my prescription was considered to be to high (+6.75 and +5.00) Then I heard about accuvision and travelled from the lake district to london for a consultation. The service I received was fantastic and they were very honest about what I could expect due to having such a severe prescription. I decided to go ahead and I had the surgery done in monday. I was very nervous but the staff were fantastic and explained everything clearly and said I would feel no pain though it would be a little uncomfortable. Did it hurt? Absolutely not, it was the most amazing ten minute light show ever. First they clamp your eye which did not hurt at all then they get to work and ten minutes later its done. No pain at all during or after the procedure. I came out of the surgery and my son was in the waiting room and I had to sit with my eyes shut for ten minutes. After this I opened my eyes and could tell straight away that my vision was changed for the better. I Rested for the remainder of the day and put in drops as instructed. I awoke the next day and reached for my glasses as I have done for 43 years, realised I had eye shields on took them off and I could see the world like I have never seen it before. It is now wednesday, two days after the operation. I have had no pain or soreness, just a little sensation late at night like leaving a contact lens in too long. My vision is fantastic and I am sooooo happy after struggling with my vision all these years. This is without doubt one of the best things that has ever happened to me and it is worth every penny. If you have any doubts forget them and if you want the best go to accuvision – you won’t regret it.

When I went for my consultation with Accuvision in Solihull, I wasn’t too optimistic as I’d already been turned down for treatment by Optimax, Ultralase and Optical Express. My prescription was +4.25 with astigmatism in both eyes and a prism. The prism was the main reason the other clinics turned me down! After the comprehensive tests, Nick Dash informed me that not only could they treat me but that I was well within their prescription range due to the fact that they use an advanced laser with 400Hz technology which results in a much higher resolution of treatment. I don’t pretend to understand it but Nick convinced me that they have the best technologically advanced equipment in the UK and this enables them to treat people that other clinics turn down. I had the operation 3 weeks later and went through a nervous but painless 10 minutes in the operating room with the surgical team talking me through each step as they went. That evening, I almost felt guilty that I’d suffered no pain or discomfort what so ever. My vision, although greatly improved, was still a bit blurred which I was told to expect. Feeling slightly disappointed, I arrived at Accuvision the following morning and saw Nick again. This is where he does his party piece and within 30 seconds I’m reading off the chart with pinpoint clarity down to 20/20 and beyond! (Email me if you want to know more! ….andyberry@blueyonder.co.uk). As far as I’m concerned, these guys are the dogs bol***ks…. Don’t hesitate a moment longer for this life changing opportunity

After a disappointing experience at Ultralase (you can read my experience in their page) I went to Accuvision for the initial check-up. It was a completely different story, staff was very friendly but what impressed me the most was that the outcome of each exams was discussed with me, I was shown graphs, numbers and explained their meaning and what they meant in terms of surgery for me. Because of the shape of my right eye, I was told that I was really borderline and that the only surgery they would perform is Epi-Lasik which is relatively new for the UK and was explained all the differences in terms of surgery and possible results. I went home and did a lot of reading about Lasek (offered by Ultralase) and Epi-Lasik and found the latter a much better and safer solution. Booked my surgery the day after. I had it on the 6th of February, the surgery was completely painless and so was the first week. I was told that Epi-Lasik can be more painful than Lasik but I did not feel pain at all, the first day I was in tears most of the time and the first 2-3 days I was very sensitive to light but that was it.
Yesterday I had my 6 week check-up, my left eye is 20/15 which is amazing and my right eye (which was the one difficult to predict) has 20/20. Night vision is very good too. I can only spot a slight difference in night vision acuity when I’m really tired.
I would not have any doubt in recommending Accuvision to anyone looking into eye surgery, it was the best thing I’ve ever done.

I plucked up the courage after searching the web to have my eyes lasered at accuvision solihull. I was not pressurised into committing to anything which was great and the service I received was professional but friendly, putting me at ease.
On the day I was a bag of nerves, there could be no one more scared than I in that waiting room. The procedure was over quickly, did it hurt? Well the first eye was fine, the 2nd eye hurt for maybe 30 secs, apparantly you tense after the first eye, it felt wierd but I think your mind makes it worse than what it actually was.

Would I have it done again? absolutely, I can see perfectly, the staff were wonderful and the procedure was over quickly, I am proud of myself for having this procedure and wish I had done it sooner, dont go anywhere else but here.
