What our Patients say

I had my surgery last Wednesday (2nd Nov) and on the following day I already had 20/15 vision! It truly is amazing. I have gone from -3.00 & -3.75 to being able to see better then ever before. Being glasses free after 15 years is incredibly liberating.

Everything from the word go has been 1st class, I booked the surgery on the very day of the consulation as I was so pleased with the service I received.

Vik is an absolute gem, he is so caring and explains everything in such a way that is reassuring without being patronising. I’m going for my second check up in two days time but know everything will be fine.

The surgery was a little scary but I only suffered stinging for about 20 minutes straight after and then a sharp gritty feeling about an hour after that which only lasted 10 minutes or so. Within 5 hours I was feeling fine. I have a little dryness now but the drops are helping.

The rating of very good isn’t high enough, I just can’t thank Accuvision enough.

I had been wearing glasses or contacts for about 25 years with a prescription of -5.5 & -5.75. I wanted corrective surgery but waited until I found a recommended, safe procedure. Accuvision were suggested to me by a neighbour who had his eyes corrected there a year previous and had experinced no problems. The free consultation was extremely thorough & profeessional, plus the specialist surgeon performing the procedure instilled confidence. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes. It was rather like going to the dentist…but not as bad! The next day I could see fine, with just a slight dry itching and two weeks later it was as if I’d never had glasses! After 6 weeks I have better than 20:20 vision. I’d recommend it.

Prior to visiting Accuvision i had been turned down by every laser eye surgery the length and breadth of the country! This was due to my difficult prescription: -12 both eyes with +3 astigmatism and thin corneas. BLIND AS THE PREVERBIAL BAT! I had almost given up hope, and had even considered ICL’s, however i was fortunate enough to hear of Accuvision through a friend of a friend. After a quick discussion on the phone Accuvision were confident that they could do something for me as they specialised in difficult cases such as mine. Even though i remained sceptical i booked for a consultation with a provisional booking for surgery the next day and a check-up appointment for the day after. I set off from Glasgow on the day of the consultation with the full backing of friends and family which hepled settle my nerves although given my previous experiences i didnt hold out much hope of being suitable for treatment. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and after all of the measurements had been done they advised me of what i could expect in terms of correction. They anticipated that i would be left with approx a -1 prescription which for me was very acceptable given my thick glasses and specialist contact lenses. I went ahead with the surgery the next day and everything went smoothly, the whole procedure was handled very professionally and i felt totally at ease. Afterwards i only suffered slight discomfort and by the next day i walked along the street and could see signs and read posters. Amazing!. At the check-up my vision was measured at -1 both eyes and now 6 weeks later both are at -.075. I have not worn glasses since although i will get a pair for night time driving. My eyes have been fine and i have not felt any discomfort or suffered from dry eyes. My life has changed
dramaticallyand i cant thank the staff at Accuvision enough. I would recommend Accuvision to anyone who asked.

It is now 3 weeks, since I plucked up the courage to have laser surgery to my eyes! Like many people I was very anxious about making what was, to me, such a huge decision. However, the pre-op assessment allayed most of my concerns and gave me a really good understanding of what I could expect at the time of surgery and afterwards,and of the potential complications and likely benefits. Many thanks to Vikash Patel, for his patience and calmness, and for answering all my queries, without putting me under any pressure to make a decision.
The surgery went exactly as planned with all the staff helping to put me at my ease. What amazes me most, is that for me, there really was no pain at all! The surgeon Mr Rostron was highly professional and the whole procedure took about 15 minutes.
Unfortunately, at my follow up the next day, it became apparent that the corneal flap had moved during the night and was ruckled up, leaving my vision blurred.Within minutes, after a comprehensive explanation, I was back in the treatment room, having the flap repositioned. Once again the procedure was swift and painless, and the following day my sight was perfect.
This has been one of the best decisions I have made, my eyesight is perfect and it is great not to have to wear glasses any more! I would highly recommend the friendly staff and the expertise I found at AccuVision.

i had my eyes lasered in febuary this year. due to a very bad astigmatism i had to have the tapography laser treatment which maps the eye so it can exactly remove the correct amount of corneal tissue. my vision is perfect now and it has changed my life, i am only 19 and it now means that i can pursue my dream career of becoming a police officer. i would advise any person who is thinking of having laser eye surgery to go to Accuvision, they have done an amazing job with me and i wouldn’t have tried anywhere else. i give them 7 out of 5 excellent job.

I had my eyes lasered at Accuvision in May 2005. I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I am 54 and had a prescription of -6.5 with astigmatism. The results are fantastic and I’m certainly very pleased that I had it done. All the staff are very polite and friendly and they really put you at your ease. The surgery does not hurt at all, the most you could say is some slight discomfort for a short while but it is certainly worth it.

I have recently had my one year follow-up appointment at Accuvision having been treated in April 2004 and they have been fantastic from my initial consultation through surgery and follow-up appointments. I had -7 prescription in one eye and slightly higher in the other, both with astigmatism and larger-than-average pupils – now I have 20/20 vision. I never thought this would be possible! Having started wearing glasses aged 5 and having had several unsuccessful and uncomfortable attempts at wearing contact lenses in my teens and twenties I never thought I’d be free of glasses.

I had looked into laser surgery in the early 90s and been told my prescription was too high and that basically I would never be treatable. When I went to have a consultation with Accuvision (aged 37) I had prepared myself for a ‘No’ to avoid disappointment. The consultation was very thorough and I was delighted (and amazed!) when told I was treatable.

Everything was very clearly explained, and I was reassured at how thorough the post-operative care sounded with several regular check-ups following the procedure.

Because everything was so carefully explained (and also because I found the comments on this website very helpful and reassuring) on the day of surgery I felt fairly relaxed. I had Wavefront Lasik and it was quick and painless. I took it easy for the next few days and made sure I didn’t rub my eyes. I was delighted and amazed with the results – I never thought it would be possible. Without my glasses previously I wouldn’t have been able to read the top letter of an optician’s chart – now I can read the bottom line!

Many thanks to everyone at Accuvision – their care and treatment is fantastic – I’m so glad I came to see you!

I was turned down by a couple of clinics as I was very short-sighted, have flat eyeballs and very large pupils. I found Accuvision through Lasikeyes and phoned them, half expecting to be turned away. To my relief they said that they thought they could treat me, although could not guarantee me 20:20 vision. After a very thorough consultation and a chat with one of the surgeons I decided to go ahead. I had my surgery in March, and am delighted. I went back last week for my latest checkup and now have better vision unaided than I had with glasses before surgery. It was not entirely problem free, there was a problem with the healing of one of the flaps, but it was sorted out promptly and efficiently. All the staff were great, and I think it was money very well spent. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I had Custom Lasik surgery at Accuvision a few weeks ago. I was short sighted with a prescription of about -2.50 in each eye. I cant believe the result, I now have better than 20/20 vision. No more glasses, I should have done this years ago. The staff at Accuvision are very helpful and they really seem to care about the standard of treatment. I found the treatment to be completely personal and I felt that the surgeons were customising the treatment for my eyes precisely. A great result!
