Q&A Series: How Much Does Laser Eye Surgery Cost?

Our frequently asked questions are centred around the cost of laser eye surgery.

The price of laser eye surgery is an essential and often deciding factor when comparing different eye clinics for treatment. However, as LaserVision specialists in personalised vision correction for all patients, it can be difficult to provide general prices.

We have put together some ballpark figures for our treatments to help answer this question. However, we highly recommend that you contact our teams at your chosen location for more detailed information, and to see how personalised vision correction can benefit you and your eyes.

*Please note prices may vary between our clinic locations due to different costs incurred at our hospital locations.

LaserVision will never offer price incentives or offers to encourage you into treatment when you may not be ready. Our prices are reflective of the high standard of expertise, treatment and care you will receive with us.

Consultation fees for laser eye surgery

A consultation prior to laser eye surgery is essential to determine your suitability and talk through all possible options and outcomes. Unlike some high street clinics, we do not use a consultation to give you a sales pitch. With LaserVision, you will always see a specialist Consultant Ophthalmologist who will thoroughly assess your eyes to determine your suitability for vision correction treatment. If you are suitable, your consultant will then talk with you at length about what treatment options are recommended for your eyes. This will also allow you to discuss the benefits, affordability and facts before making your decision.

Our consultants give you honest, expert advice, and make you aware of all possible outcomes. As specialists in complex corneal and intra-ocular surgery, the surgeons at LaserVision may be able to offer alternative treatment if laser surgery is unsuitable.

Prices for consultations at LaserVision start from £75 for an initial Refractive Consultation depending upon location and £250 for a General Consultation. Prices will vary depending on the type of consultation you require and which clinic you wish to attend.
