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,many thanks to Daryus, 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.
