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 recently had my laser surgery just over a month ago my prescription was very high and I was generally getting very fed up with wearing contact lenses and also the fact that I was wearing glasses for nearly twenty years.
I visited Accuvision for a initial consultation and I was very impressed with the friendly service they provided.
They were very informative about the whole procedure and explained everything to me. They made me feel very relaxed about the whole process and made me feel more confident about having the corrective surgery done considering I was very nervous about the whole process.
When I finally underwent the corrective surgery, they made me feel very calm about the whole process. The surgery was over within minutes and I was unable to feel anything. During the first few hours I experience some discomfort but they explained that this was normal. I went home to sleep and the following day I woke up and my vision was excellent it was like I was this new person and I was so excited about the fact that I could wake up and be able to see everything again without having to reach for my glasses also the fact that in the long run I considered this to a cheaper option rather that continuing to wear glasses and contact lenses.
I was given the all clear the following day when I visited the clinic and I was able to resume back to my normal working life. I was able to drive and use the computer. When people say that you cannot drive and use the computer for a couple of weeks I found to be a myth. I recovered within 24 hours and I was fine.
I would say that I found the whole corrective surgery an experience and has made me a new person. I found that the staff at Accuvision help me achieve this as they calmed me down during the whole process, were informative and very helpful which I felt was top of their priorties when I first visited them.
I would recommend corrective surgery to anyone who is considering it. I would also recommend Accuvision as a Clinic who are committed to achieving the best results possible for 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.
