I had laser correction surgery and after advice from Accuvision, went for mono vision which has been absolutely brilliant. I no longer need any glasses apart from sunglasses to shade my eyes, if the sun ever shines! The surgery was carried out at the Solihull office very professionally. The initial advice to try mono vision was given by Nick Dash and he gave me contact lenses to test. The test was successful and I booked in for surgery.
I would highly recommend mono vision and certainly Accuvision in Solihull

I have found the experience a very professional and personal one so far. Levels of customer service have matched and exceeded my expectations. A week on I have no pain or discomfort from the initial treatment. Long vision is excellent but finding that i seem to be focusing too hard on the comp screen and TV, though I am sure this will ease over the next few weeks. IT'S AMAZING! I can now read the teletext without glasses after 20 years! Wish I had it done sooner.

Had my treatment at the London clinic a week ago. I went for the Trans Epi all laser surface correction after the expert advice from staff.
The entire procedure was quick, efficient, painless and generally outstanding. Unlike LASIK it does take a while for your eyes to steady but a week on and they are now tip-top. One word of note, the pain for the first 24hrs is something to be aware of. It is different in all cases but that was a long night!! But as they say at the clinic, this procedure is about short term pain for long term gain as there is no corneal flap to dislodge.
The staff are great - friendly, helpful and cheerful.
Boy did I enjoy chucking my specs in the bin by the stairs (just like in the promo video!!).
After 30 yrs in glasses and the last 20 of those with contacts if you are thinking about this procedure then go for it.

I had my laser eye surgery on 13th December 2007 at the Solihull clinic.
I have worn glasses my whole life so it was a big thing to go through for me. Almost as if my glasses were my security blanket!
I have to say I was the most nervous I have ever been in my life. There was no need to be at all. The staff at the solihull clinic were so friendly and kind and did all that they could to put me at ease (I am a drama queen, so it was a tough job!)
The treatment I had was a customised wavefront lasik procedure as I had astigmatisms as well as being long sighted.
I was in the treatment room for about 15 minutes during which time everything was checked and double checked, then checked again before the procedure took place. The actual laser part of the procedure worked its magic in about 10 seconds.
I had my check up the next day, and everything is going well. The christmas tree lights can't go on at the moment as I am noticing a 'halo' effect around them, but this is getting better on a daily basis. I have been told that it could take up to one month for my eyes to settle down, but every hour I notice an improvement.
If you are considering getting your eyes done, I would 100%recomment it to anyone. I was so scared before the surgery, but now I know what I know, I would have it done again if I needed it. I have not suffered any pain whatsoever, just the feeling of grit in my eyes at first, which has since gone.
The team at Accuvision have been totally professional, caring, trusting and understanding and I would recommend them to anyone.
As for my security blanket glasses - I have given them away! I just need to get out of the habit of going to put my specs on first thing, but I am sure I will get over it!

After years of blurry distance vision, I decided to have my eyesight corrected. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was scared on the day and even in the surgery but it is so quick and the staff were so friendly my nerves did reduce. I was amazed to find that on the journey home with my husband I could read car number plates clearly already (even though I was meant to keep my eyes closed!)
The next days check up showed my vision was already better than 20:20 and I am thrilled. Everything became clearer and I realised the details I have been missing over the last few years. To anyone considering having eye surgery, I would say go and have an assessment, you have nothing to lose. It might just be the best decision you ever make.
