“Dissapointed”

written by jvDodd149 on 24/10/2014

Accuvision were recommended to me by 2 people and the initial consultation went well. Attentive staff and the surgery was a success too.

However, I was left with a blurring in my left eye though although this was by design as my left eye was for close up work – reading etc and my right eye for distance work.
Although I said before surgery I would rather have good binocular vision and wear reading glasses I was advised to take their professional advice and if I didn’t like the results they would operate again in 3 months to correct the vision in my left eye as was told “some people like it and some people hate it.”

Unfortunately this turned out not to be the case. I’ve had several appointments since and each time, they try to talk me out of having the opp again and even after me insisting I want it done they make excuses not to do it. They would not offer me a Saturday appointment so I had to take time off work each time I paid them a visit (I'm self employed) One appt they claimed there were no free slots and to come back the following week. I returned but the surgeon said he would like to let my eyes heal a bit longer so left it another 3 months. Next booking the surgeon was off sick so had to reschedule again. Finally got a new appt and then had the same pantomime of them trying to talk me out of having the opp done. On the last occasion they said the risks of doing the opp far outweigh the benefits and it’s not worth my while doing it.

I just don’t understand why I was initially told I could have the opp again on my left eye after 3 months if I wasn’t happy with the results (which I wasn’t) Then told to leave it a bit longer so it fully heals and then finally not to do it all! They seem to have a set routine for patients like me where they go out of their way not to operate twice and just hope I get fed up and disappear. They have your money, you've signed the disclaimers so you can’t touch them. All I will say is that if you’re considering having laser eye surgery, please don’t make the same mistake as me and do your own thorough research and don’t rely solely on recommendations. Needless to say I do not recommend using Accuvision.
