Gifford Box’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Gifford Box

Treatment received at AVC: Lasik with Wavefront

Why you decided to have treatment:

Having laser treatment was something I had always really wanted to do, but held back from getting it done. But after wearing contact lenses for nine years, I eventually got really fed-up with them, so decided to go for treatment.

How was the AVC experience?

I cannot speak highly enough of AVC. I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the entire AVC team. When I booked my initial consultation I was pretty nervous and my only objective was to find out more about the treatments available. As soon as I met Mr Pillai and the team I felt absolutely comfortable and I trusted them straight away. They answered all of my questions and I knew I would be safe in their hands, which is why I decided to have the treatment done.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

Apart from the ease of not having to put contact lenses in everyday anymore, I’m a very keen swimmer and it has made such a difference to me now that I am able to see whilst swimming.

Andrew Hallett’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Andrew Hallett

Treatment received at AVC: Lasek

Why you decided to have treatment:

I was recommended AVC by my brother and sister-in-law who had both previously had treatment. I was really fed up with wearing glasses and I decided that enough was enough – time to bite the bullet and go for treatment.

How was the AVC experience?

I was really pleased with my treatment. It was exactly how I thought it would be. I experienced no pain at all during the treatment and I was looked after well throughout the treatment and after-care process.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

I’m a very sporty person and very active in everyday life. Therefore, not having to wear glasses anymore has made a massive difference to me. Whilst on holiday with my family last week I was able to swim without my glasses and still be able to see everything beautifully, something I’d never been able to do before. Everything is so much clearer now. I have never had such good eyesight.

Penny Samuels’ AVC Testimonial

Name: Penny Samuels

Treatment received at AVC: Lasik with Wavefront

Why you decided to have treatment:

I have been short-sighted all my life and then developed astigmatism. The real problem came with driving as I couldn’t wear my contact lenses anymore; this was really the point at which I decided to have treatment as it was getting to the point where I wouldn’t be able to drive.

How was the AVC experience?

Brilliant! I was recommended AVC by a friend and I contacted them straight away. Whenever eyesight problems crop up in a conversation, I will always encourage people to go and have a chat with AVC about what they can do to help.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

Just waking up in the morning and being able to see clearly is amazing. I don’t have to fumble around for my glasses. Everything in life is that bit easier. I can read labels properly and drive with clear vision. I also used to have to buy hypoallergenic make so that my eyes weren’t irritated by my contact lenses, it is much easier for me to shop for beauty products now that I don’t have to buy specialist products.

Wendy Beynon’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Wendy Beynon

Treatment received at AVC: Lasik

Why you decided to have treatment:

I had awful eyesight for ten years  (-8 prescription) and in the end I just had enough of wearing glasses and contact lenses and wanted something more permanent. The cost of contact lenses was also mounting up, and so laser surgery seemed like a sensible financial move.

How was the AVC experience?

AVC were wonderful, so reassuring and I felt that they were experts. Mr. P was so merry, friendly and welcoming, I really felt at ease in his hands. Other clinics I visited were so cold and clinical – especially those giving the hard sell. There was none of this at AVC, they just answered all of my questions.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

For me, just being able to wake up in the morning and see is the most amazing privilege. People just take that for granted but when you’ve suffered with awful eyesight for the past decade, it’s these little moments that mean so much.

Chris Oliver’s AVC Testimonial

Name: Chris Oliver

Treatment received at AVC: Custom wavefront Lasik

Why you decided to have treatment:

I’d worn glasses all day for 26 years, and really felt the time was right for me to look into alternatives. With a toddler son, I was finding that playing rough and tumble games was a constant battle not to get my glasses damaged. The cost of frames and lenses for my high prescription was also proving expensive and every year we were looking for a replacement pair as the old glasses got scratched. I’d also recently completed the Cheshire Triathlon for charity and found that competing and training in glasses was really difficult.The discomfort of not being able to see properly in the water and then biking and running in my daily glasses was not ideal. After doing extensive research and even though it was a distance for me to travel, I decided to make an appointment at AVC.

How was the AVC experience?

I’ve found the team at AVC to be approachable, friendly but at all times professional. In the initial consultation my eyes had a thorough assessment before Mr Pillai advised the best course of action. He explained how they would handle my complicated prescription and what was expected as a result. At no time did I feel pressurised and the information I received allowed me to make my own mind up about having treatment. You get the same level of service before, during and after the surgery, and I actually look forward to going down to meet up for aftercare with Mr Pillai and his staff. They really do care about the quality of your vision, and offer advice, support and answer any concerns you might have.

How has your life changed post-treatment?

For me it literally has been life changing. I’ve discovered a new level of confidence which has allowed me to pursue new career opportunities that weren’t open to me with my previous eyesight. The freedom to swim while seeing clearly, playing safely with my son and not having to worry about reaching over for my glasses first thing in the morning is a great feeling. It was a big decision for me, but I’m certainly glad I made the call.
