I was anxious about laser eye surgery as I have heard some horror stories but liked the idea of a free consultation so I could make up my own mind. I did lots of research and initially only wanted to go to Moorfields but then I found Accuvision. Their results were excellent and they had consultants who also worked at Moorfields, plus they did a free consultation.
I went along and asked lots of questions and had several tests done and all options were explained to me. My eye sight was not that bad, -3.5 in both eyes but I had a bumpy cornea so I opted for the Trans-epithelial LASIK which I was told was longer off work - 4 days, but less invasive and the better treatment for me. I booked in shortly afterwards and took Friday and Monday off work to recover.
The Friday morning came quickly and I had after a few more tests I had the operation in under 10 minutes. It was painless and like watching a laser light show. Slightly uncomfortable and a bit odd having to look at all these lights but really nothing to worry about. I was picked up by my husband and taken home where I sat in a dark room with my sunglasses on all day. It was very painful for a few hours afterwards once the anesthetic had worn off but I was given more anesthetic drops to ease the pain which I decided not to take as I was told they slow the healing process. On reflection I should have taken some to ease my discomfort but that afternoon the pain was much less and by morning it was totally gone. I was sensitive to sunlight for a few days but that was all. My vision was instantly better on the Saturday and kept improving for 2 weeks.
I went back 2 weeks later for my check up and eye test and was told my eyes still had some healing to do but currently my prescrition was 20:20 in one eye and better than 20:20 in the other.
I have another appointment next week, 6 weeks on so I should hopefully be better than 20:20 in both eyes.
Without doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself and I would not hesitate to recommend Accuvision to all my family and friends. Indeed a few members of my family are now considering when to have their eyes done.
