How Much Is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery can be an expensive procedure, and if you are contemplating this treatment, you’ll undoubtedly want to understand the associated costs.
Before we get into how much laser eye surgery costs, it’s worth noting that prices will differ between various laser eye surgery clinics and several factors influence the final price of your procedure. These factors include the specific type of laser treatment required and your current vision prescription.
We’ll discuss some approximate laser eye surgery prices and ways to spread the cost of treatment. It’s also worth considering that when you compare the cost of laser eye surgery to the cumulative expense of replacing glasses and contact lenses over several years or even decades, and of course the hassle of wearing glasses and wearing contact lenses, you may find that surgery is as economical as its beneficial.
If you’d like to speak to a laser eye surgeon at Laser Vision, you can book a consultation online at your earliest convenience.
Why do laser eye surgery providers charge different prices?
Laser eye surgery is a personalised procedure and any costs involved will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.
There is no universal solution for vision correction and that’s why at Laser Vision, we adopt a bespoke approach to guarantee that your vision correction surgery achieves its ultimate objective: providing you with the best possible sight.
Some patients will have more complex cases as a patient’s prescription varies, which is usually reflected in the price of their procedure.
Understanding Laser Eye Surgery Costs at Laser Vision
We’re proud to offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs or unexpected charges on our procedures. We will also never offer price incentives to influence your decision to choose us.
The cost of Laser Vision’s services may vary between clinics due to hospital location expenses; however, our prices reflect the expert treatment, specialist surgeons and exceptional care we deliver.
Eye Surgery Cost Comparison
Free consultation?
While free consultations are readily available, they often serve as an opportunity for high street clinics to give you a sales pitch.
Don’t be deterred by having to pay for an initial consultation. Reputable clinics, such as Laser Vision, ensure that you are evaluated by a Consultant Ophthalmologist who will thoroughly assess your suitability and examine your eye health in detail.
The cost of consultations with Laser Vision ranges from £75 to £250, depending on the location and type of laser vision correction consultation required.
Lasek and Lasik Cost
The cost for Lasek and Lasik typically starts at £1,850 per eye. This price usually includes follow up appointments, medication, consultant surgeon fees, and the diagnostic assessment.
Cataract Surgery Costs
Cataract surgery with a standard lens is priced from £1,996 per eye at Laser Vision. For those opting for a premium lens replacement combined with Femtosecond laser technology, the cost starts at £3,750 per eye. These prices encompass all fees, assessment costs, and post-operative care.
Presbyopia Treatments
Presbyopia treatment, including laser eye surgery, starts at £1,850 per eye. This price encompasses all fees, assessments, and aftercare services.
Types of Laser Eye Surgery
There are several types of laser eye surgery, each with its own unique benefits and considerations. The most common procedures include LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis), LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis), and PTK.
LASIK
LASIK surgery is perhaps the most well-known type of laser eye surgery. It involves creating a thin flap in the cornea using a microkeratome or femtosecond laser. Once the flap is lifted, an excimer laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Due to its quick recovery time—often within 24 hours—many patients opt for LASIK.
LASEK
LASEK is similar to LASIK but differs in how it prepares the cornea for treatment. Instead of creating a flap, LASEK loosens and pushes aside the epithelial layer before applying laser treatment directly on the corneal surface. This technique can be beneficial for patients with thinner corneas who may not qualify for LASIK.
PRK
PRK was one of the first forms of laser eye surgery developed and remains a viable option for patients who are unsuitable for LASIK. After removing the outer layer of cells from the cornea entirely, an excimer laser reshapes it to correct vision issues. PRK has a longer recovery time compared to LASIK but it still provides excellent results.
Does cheap laser eye surgery really exist?
While opting for the most affordable treatment may benefit your wallet, it might not be as advantageous for your eye health.
Always exercise caution with any high street or private clinic that offers a fixed price on laser eye surgery. Generally, you get what you pay for, so the lowest laser eye surgery prices may result in lower quality care, treatment, and standards.
Laser Vision distinguishes itself by offering patients world-class laser eye surgery performed by the finest and most experienced ophthalmologists.
Payment Options and Financing
Most of our Laser Vision clinics provide finance options to assist you in spreading the cost of laser eye surgery. We offer interest-free credit on payment plans at many of our hospitals; however, please confirm with your selected provider for specific details.
