Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. These senses help us process the world around us and if one of these senses is broken or missing, the other senses work in overdrive.
When asked what sense they value the most, most people say their eyesight. In fact, 88% of people in the UK ranked sight as their most valuable sense in a 2019 study. [1]
The question is, how much is your sight worth?
Cost of laser eye surgery
Laser eye surgery can vary in price depending on the type of procedure and your individual prescription.
We believe laser eye surgery is an investment. Whether it’s LASIK, LASEK, SMILE, lens replacement or cataract surgery – a vision correction procedure can change your life. 93% of our patients state that their quality of life has improved since having their surgery. [2]
Compare the procedures and costs here. The cost of treatment includes all your pre-surgery appointments, the surgery itself, aftercare appointments for 3 months and the cost of any eye drops of medications prescribed in this period. [3]
Finance options for laser eye surgery
We want laser eye surgery to be as accessible as possible and we’re proud to offer flexible finance options to help spread the cost.
Pricing starts from as little as £9.41 per month, with a £100 deposit! [4]
We also offer 0% APR options for eligible patients. [7]
The cost of cataract surgery
The waiting time for cataract treatment on the NHS varies from region to region but is not meant to exceed 18 weeks.*
Despite this, many patients are left waiting for extended periods of time – sometimes over a year. This is due to several factors including demand for surgery, capacity at their local hospital and even now, the backlog created by COVID.
At Optical Express private cataract surgery starts from just £1,995 per eye. [5] We offer flexible finance for cataract surgery, with payments from just £28.41 per month with a £500 deposit, [6] or 10 interest-free payments of £149.50! [7]
Not only will you wait far less time for your surgery, but you’ll have more options. Private cataract surgery at Optical Express offers a range of high-quality lenses and treatment in both eyes on the same day. You’ll also be able to start your treatment earlier, as NHS treatment is only provided to patients whose eyesight has deteriorated to a certain threshold level.
Optical Express is the leading provider of private cataract surgery in the UK, and we have outstanding patient outcomes. By choosing surgery with us, you’ll help reduce the burden on the NHS and further reduce that wait time for others who cannot consider private eye surgery.
