What our Patients say

What can I say? there can be few greater gifts than your sight. Accuvision are Fantastic, I went to the Fullham clinic, they were friendly and reassuring and I felt safe with them. I had thought about lazer surgery for many many years before I actually got enough courage to have it done, now I wish I hadnt waited, my sight is perfect and I am very happy, Thank you Accuvision

I had been deliberating over whether to have the surgery for quite a few years and finally decided this year to make that extra special effort to save. I looked around on the internet for advice and inspiration as to where to go and I was recommended Accuvision by a friend of a friend who had her treatment in October 2004. She raved about everything to do with Accuvision so I decided to make the effort and call them. I had my initial consultation with Vik on 30/9. This lasted approx an hour and was extremely thorough. Vik was brilliant too keeping me informed of everything he was doing and why! As I had really made up my mind before going for the consultation I was put off at all and delighted when Vik told me that they could do it. I booked my treatment day before leaving. Treatment was done on 17/10 by Mr Rostron. Everything about the day was professional, friendly and informative. They didn’t do anything without telling me. It was a bit scary and uncomfortable but is done so quickly that before you realise it you are back in the waiting room for a rest before getting checked and then ready to leave. Worst part of the day was being in the car for an hour and half and not being able to open my eyes. I had to keep my eyes closed for the rest of the day. I used a sleeping mask to help – I found this quite easy because my eyes didn’t really want to be open anyway. The stinging lasted about an hour and grittiness about 5 hours but the eyedrops helped. I haven’t experienced any halos or fuzziness at night and results so far is 15/20 vision from being shortsighted at -2.50. The one thing a really hated about the whole experience was wearing the aweful plastic shields over my eyes at night. During my sleep I would try to remove them, sometimes successful but other nights I would wake up fighting with them to get them off. I was so glad one week on when Vik told me I could stop using them. Everyone at Accuvision from the Receptionists, the the person who made my appointments for me, to Vik and Mr Rostron and team in the treatment room have been brilliant. There is nothing negative I can say about the whole experience (except those eye shields !!) Thank you

I had sight correction with Wavefront procedure done Wednesday 22 June 05 and I am really pleased with the results. I didn’t have a strong perscription (-2.0 in each eye) but it was enough to mean that I needed glasses/lenses all the time. I can’t believe how well I can see now! I even felt confident enough to drive home from the 1 day follow up appointment (my husband drove to the appointment as I wanted to wait until I had been given the ‘all clear’).

I didn’t experience any pain but did feel a little faint afterwards – I am convinced that is due to my nervousness leading up to the procedure!! I was subsequently told that this can happen but that might have been said to make me feel better. I have not had ANY discomfort and have only experienced slightly dry eyes on one day at 4 days post op which are alleviated by the artificial tears provided by Accuvision. I also found that keeping myself hydrated helped with the comfort of my eyes.

I have to say that I have been very impressed by the staff at Accuvision. During the initial consultation and on the treatment day they take the time to explain what to expect and to answer any questions you have (I had many!). The initial consultation was very thorough and I came away with a realistic expectation of how they could help but also with the confidence that they would ‘look after’ me. I didn’t feel the need to visit any other clinics for a consultation but having said that I had previously made a vague enquiry at Optical Express in Holborn, London and I definitely got the ‘hard sell’ which put me off immediately. As Accuvision is a smaller company they seem to have the time to provide a comprehensive follow up programme (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months & 1 year!) so patient care seems high on their agenda. I realise that there are many ‘high street chain’ companies who can provide the same procedure but I, personally, felt more comfortable with the personal attention Accuvision provided.

All went well at my one week and 1 month checkup and I have a longer term appointment booked for January 06. I will not post to this site again unless I experience complications.

I would highly recommend Accuvision to anyone – it really has made a huge difference to the quality of my life.

Had both eyes done 5 days ago and the results are fantastic. My prescription was 1.75 in both eyes and – from the day after surgery – I’m now the proud owner of 20/20 vision! I researched eye surgery very thoroughly and Accuvision impressed me with their surgical team, equipment, patient care and reviews. The initial consultation with Vik was extremely thorough and honest, yet also reassuring. My surgeon was Brett Halliday and he and his team (I think there were about 6 people in the room on the day) were brilliant. Not only did they talk me through every moment of the procedure; they were also genuinely very caring. It’s a big thing to have done so this is very important. I can’t recommend them enough. Post-operative care is great too. The eyes are taking a little while to adjust to their new capabilities and are pretty dry but it’s all been so worth it.

If you’re thinking of Laser Eye Treatment, then DO IT!!!! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done! Glasses since I was 4, an astigmatism too severe to be able to benefit from contact lenses and now, as a result of Laser treatment, 20/20 vision! It feels like a miracle – no more squinting (because I was too vain to wear my glasses on a night out) which in turn lessens the crows feet! Accuvision staff are the friendliest, most professional and reasuring people you could hope for on your journey to perfect vision!

Had both eyes done, staff were friendly and curtious, and the result was better than I dreamed possible. Near perfect vision, in all conditions night or day. The proceedure was painless with only minor discomfort, for 24-36 hours post op.

For those of you looking for a clinic that has the most experienced surgeons, the best equipment and staff who really care about best advice and acheiving the best possible results you should go to Accuvision.

My prescription was R +6.00 -5.00, L +7.00 -6.50. Two days after treatment my site was good enough to drive and after six weeks my site test shows I have 20/20 vision with just 0.5 astigmastism in both eyes.

Given the severity of my astigmatism and long sight you can imagine I took great care to choose a clinic that really had the experience to take on the challenge. I looked at other top clinics and it was evident they did not have the experience of treating more complex prescriptions.

I cannot recommend Accuvision highly enough – whatever your prescription. I am happy to act as reference to anyone who would like to learn more about my experience.

I spent two years deliberating whether to have surgery or not and finally decided to go for it. Had the surgery 2nd November with Mr Rostron, prescription was -7.5 and -8.0. Surgery went well, slight stinging and grittiness for a few hours after surgery, but the drops relieved that. Had the checkup the next morning and both eyes were healing faster than expected. Had my one week check yesterday and I’m continuing to improve: 20/20 vision and that was on a bad eye day! Left eye is healing a little slower than right, but is getting there gradually. Getting halos and starbursts at night but was told that would clear up in a few weeks. Overall I can’t believe how good my vision is! I would say I wish I’d had it years ago, but actually I’m glad I didn’t. The technology has improved over the last few years so I’m glad I waited – I just wish I was younger! Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision who are very helpful and professional.

I was very short sighted, -8.00 in my right eye with astigmatism and -7.50 in my left. Before Accuvision I needed glasses before I got out of bed. I had my surgery on July 7th 2005 and have not looked back since. I now have 20/20 vision. I would only recommend ACCUVISION, professional and friendly service with every tiny detail explained. All I can say is ‘THANK YOU’.
