My 18 year old son was a +5 in both eyes.Optical Express would not consider him for surgery so after research on the net i came across Accuvision.They assessed him in Newcastle,surgeon was an hour late but he had a clinic in Whetherby that had over run,and he had then dashed up for our appointment.After drops and examination it was discovered my boy was actually +7 but they were confident he would be a good candidate.We made an appointment for surgery and the cost was no more expensive than the Optical Express,Optimax prices.He was seen in Whetherby for the surgery.The staff in the clinic were professional and friendly these .The care on the day was good.I went to Optical Expres a week later for my own eye surgery and what a difference....not in the end result as we can both see but just in the approach.I felt as though i was an eyeball attatched to a body whereas my boy was made to feel totally at ease and spoken to the whole time.I have contacted them between appointments for bits of advice and they instantly know who he is.I am so impressed.He now has 20-20 vision,having worn glasses from 3 years old.The surgeons are the type of dedicated forward thinkers who want eye surgery to progres and want the best for their patients and will offer good advice.If you are thinking of eye surgery contact these people.I put the sight of my child in their hands and am so pleased with the outcome
