A fantastic experience! Very friendly, no sales pressure at all. The technology is amazing (they talk you through every aspect) and the procedure itself was quite literally a zero pain process. No discomfort at all after the procedure. I had a severe (+5) astigmatism in both eyes which is now fixed. I've ditched my glasses - both for reading and long distance. Best thing I ever did.

Having +4.5 & +5.5 I never thought I would be able to have my vision corrected. I also had stigmatism in both eyes.I must say it is just amazing waking up and not having to reach for the glasses. Having worn glasses since I was 3 years old It took a while to stop trying to push the non existing glasses back up my nose. I'm now 47 and had the surgery nearly 18 months ago and have just bought a £10 pair of reading glasses to keep at work for reading
very small text. But this was explained to be before the surgery that in my case and age reading glasses were only a couple of years away.In my case it took 6-8 months to lose the halos around lights, that is now gone completely. You must remember that it can takes weeks to really settle down to get you final result. Just don't panic. My prescription was quite high so the 1st month was a bit up and down.
I say go for it, the team is very re-assuring and don't give you any unrealistic expectations.

Accuvision gave me hope when all other clinics had turned me away due to the strength of my prescription.
They are really understanding and patient. They explained everything clearly and put no pressure on me to make a decision either way.
I have worn glasses since i was 4 years old and my prescription was:
R +6.25/-100x180
L +7.00/-1.50x180
Accuvision were very honest and said they may not be able to give me 100% correction and i may need glasses for reading/driving etc. That was fine with me as i had worn glassed all day every day for 30 years and wanted a better quality of life with more choice.
Well the procedure was a total success and i now do not need glasses at all. It's like magic, i wish i had done it years ago.
I can't thank the clinic enough

If you want confidence you're in good hands - you've arrived at the right place. Being told by Optical Express I was unsuitable for laser eye surgery due to my high 4+ prescription coupled with astigmatisms I was advised to seek intraocular lenses from their Harley St consultant costing around £4.5k!
Thank goodness a mutual friend put me in touch with the AccuVision web site which restored hope I may be suitable for laser treatment after all. A detailed consultation with Joan followed where she spent the time I needed to understand my prescription and clearly explained the laser procedures. The risks of any eye surgery obviously need to be considered carefully after some informed explanation. The operation itself was over in minutes thanks to the expertise of Chad, Anthony, Vic and not forgetting Matron! The results initially encouraged me but after 4 days my sight varied from reading to distance and I wondered if I'd made a mistake. However after some reassurance from Vic that fluctuations in each eye were only to be expected and quite normal I'm pleased to report my sight is now settled down nicely to 20/20
Thank you all - John
