Laser Eye Surgery Prices
Dave Allamby | Oct 11, 2008 | Comments 260
How to different laser eye surgery clinics charge for treatment? It can be confusing to understand different prices and messages from various clinics.
For LASIK pricing, there are two common ways to charge. The first is 1 price for all prescriptions – in effect the lower prescriptions are subsidising the higher more difficult cases. The second method, used by ourselves and some others, is to charge based upon the prescription.
So the easier the treatment and the simpler the case, the less that patient pays – and vice versa. This seems the fairer way overall.
Also, younger patients (who are mainly short sighted) generally have less money and so can more easiy afford to have laser eye treatment with FOCUS, as their prescriptions come in at a lower rate. Long sighted treatments are more complex (we specialise in these, unlike most clinics) and are more expensive. These patients are typically in the 40s and 50s and often can often afford a bit more.
I know it sounds rather like Robin Hood(!) but this allows more people to get a superb level of treatment with a very experienced surgeon, with lots more time in a relaxed clinic, away from a high-volume quick turnaround setup. For example, one of the laser chains has surgeons performing up to 40 laser eye procedures per day. At this level, the chances of the surgeon making a mistake increases. For any of us, if we are rushed at work we cannot do our best. We believe it is better to have fewer patients and spend more time.
I really have tried to make top-end ‘Harley Street’ laser eye treatment available to more people, hopefully in a fairer way (we are actually next door on Wimpole Street). I wish everyone with glasses could afford to come for treatment but, if you see my next post, this is not likely to happen.

hi Daniel, Yes laser eye surgery is possible. You want a LASIK approach, not PRK/LASEK. Look for a WaveLight or Schwind excimer laser at whichever clinic you choose for your type of prescription. Best regards, Dave
Dave
I am thinking of having laser treatment but am unsure about the costs although your website has been extremely helpful and very reassurring regarding the safety aspects.
My glasses prescription has been stable for over 2 years at
R SPH -2.00
L SPH -1.25 CYL -0.25 AXIS 170.0
My contact lens prescription was increased to -2.25 at the end of last year.
Could you please indicate the approximate costs and type of treatments that may may be available to me.
Many thanks
Matt
Hi Matt
Glad you like the blog. Your treatment choices are between wavefront PRK and blade-free wavefront LASIK. Most patients opt for the latter. Costs would be approx £2650 for both eyes, confirmed at your consultation.
Best regards, Dave
Hello,
Please can I ask for a quote for Lasik (inc. Wavefront). I’m 35 and my prescription hasn’t changed for years, the following is my contact prescription (sorry can’t find one for glasses):
R -2.00 / -1.25 / 90
L -2.25 / -0.75 / 90
Many thanks.
Hi Nichola, Your treatment for wavefront (actually all our treatments are wavefront) blade-free Z-Lasik would be approx £2,800-2,900 for both eyes. We can confirm once we have your prescription measured at consultation. Prices will be going up in September but still plenty of time.
With best regards, Dave
Hi dave
my name is ian and I hope u can help. My eyes are both -4.50 and I have been wearing night and day lenses for years. But damaged my cornea from wearing them to much. So have had to go back to glasses and daily lenses. My cornea has now healed. Do u think I would be ok for laser eye surgery and if so how much do u think it would roughly cost. And could u tell me if my eyes are really bad. Thanks a lot.
Kind regards Ian
Hi Ian
Your prescription is only moderate for those we treat and very typical of laser eye surgery patients I see every day. We would have to see you to assess any damage from the extended wear lenses but I would not expect anything serious.
The price would be around £1300-1400 per eye for Z-LASIK. All our patients get wavefront and blade free femtosecond LASIK. Incidentally, Focus offer £300 off right now so that should save 10-15%, depending on your exact prescription.
Best regards, Dave
HI Dave,
My prescription is below. I am 31. Would love to get a rought quote for this:
L: -3.25 -1.25 AXIS 060
R: -1.75 -1.25 AXIS 120
HI Adam
No problem. Also note that Focus offers £300 off until May 31.
To treat your prescription with wavefront blade free Z-LASIK would be approximately £2,500 for both eyes, incl £300 off, with myself or Mr. Ali Mearza to do the surgery.
Best regards, Dave
Hi i am booked in to have laser and a type of lens fitted so i will not have to waer reading glasses, but my friend who is a D O said because my r x has changed in the last four months i should not be having it done is this correct.
Hi June
I am assuming that it was the near addition part of your prescription that changed, and not your distance prescription? The stability rule (of not more than 0.5D change in the past 12 months) is for (younger) short sighted patients where the myopia progresses until the early 20s. I specialise in treating patients for loss of reading vision and fully expect the near vision to be changing if they are younger than 60-65, so steadily needing stronger glasses. So these patients, age 45-60 will often show a change in their near prescription which is quite acceptable to go ahead with treatment. It is essential though that these patients are counselled that their near vision has not finished getting worse and some additional top-up treatment will still be needed in the years to come.
Best regards
David
Dear Dr. Allamby,
I was wondering if you could tell me if my eyes are already suitable for lasik. My eye sight developed as follows:
15 years
R.:-3,00=+0,50 A 90
L.:-1,50=+0,25 A 100
20 years
R.:-3,75=+0,50 A 90
L.:-1,25=+0,25 A 100
21 years
R.:-4,50=+0,50 A 90
L.:-2,25=+0,50 A 100
23 years (I assume this is a slightly different format)
R: -4.00 -0.5 5*
L: -2.25
That was in September. Now I am 24. There are different opinion’s on how long vision should be stable on the internet (1-2 years) – also what exactly does stable mean? Are minor fluctuations okay? How much would Lasik cost in my case (ballpark) ?
Best wishes,
Tom
Hi Tom
Yes, your prescription now appears basically stable since age 21. The right eye Rx uses a different format but is the same power between age 21 and 23. Minor fluctuations are OK, and we want no more than 0.5D over the past 12 months, and ideally 24 months.
Cost with Focus Laser Vision would be approx in total (both eyes) £2,600-2,700 for wavefront and blade free Z-LASIK (the most advanced treatment)
Thanks
Dave
Good Morning!
One of my friend’s mom went for a routine eye check up (she is around 60 years old) and the doc said she had to undergo a cataract surgery immediately. He recommended the following:
Phaco with aspheric premium foldable IOL
She is healthy otherwise and does not have blood pressure / diabetes problems.
Do you think this is safe for her? Would you recommend some other procedure?
Hello Divya
Not sure why the surgery is required immediately from your description, but hard to answer without all the facts as other factors could have been present. The option presented sounds reasonable.
Regards
David
Hi David,
I’m 22 and recently have had some trouble with my eyes from overwear of contact lenses which I believe resulted in some permanent red veins growing into the white of my eye. They appeared a few months ago and it is not painful (it was when it happened as it occurred suddenly), but I feel nothing generally.
Would I be a suitable candidate for laser eye surgery? would this harm/benefit the condition of the eyes in any way?
Also I would like to ask, what type of surgery would I be suitable for and the price?
My prescription is:
Right -5.25 Cyl: -0.50 Axis: 180
Left: -5.25 Cyl: -0.50 Axis: 170
Is there anything you recommend I do prior to surgery to help reduce their appearance that would be greatly appreciated too.
Many thanks,
Anna
Hi Anna
I presume you have now stopped wearing your contact lenses? If it was CL induced, you should see improvement over the coming weeks/months once stopping the lenses. So may be best to wait to let the eyes settle before thinking of laser eye surgery.
You may well still be suitable for treatment, though we wouldn;t really know until we see you for a consultation. In the meantime, stop wearing your lenses and lubricate your eyes four times a day with artificial tears, e.g. Blink, from Boots. If the redness isn’t settling now, you should go and get your eyes examined by your CL practitioner.
For prices, best results are from blade-free wavefront LASIK, at £1397 per eye, or wavefront PRK at £1097 per eye, approx.
Best regards
Dave

Hi
Could you tell me If I would be suitable for laser treatment please
right eye: sph -5.75
left eye: sph -7.25, cyl 0.25, Axis 90
Many thanks
Alison
Hi Dave
following your response to above could you please tell me what type of laser treament would be most suitable with above prescription and approximate cost.
Many thanks
Alison
Hi Alison
You will want the wavefront blade free LASIK approach, Z-LASIK. That would be approximately £2,890, although £2,790 if before end of Sept because of our Summer promo, for which you can get the code from booking at www.focusclinics.com and the link should be on the home page.
Best regards
Dave
Hi dave
Thanks for the reply not sure if I got prescription quite right I have been for an appointment with OE who have wrote it down as
R sphere + 4.50 Cyl – 3.25
L sphere + 4.50 cyl – 4.00
not sure why this is different to my prescription, do this affect my suitability. They have suggested wavefront intralase. Does your price include blade free?
Thanks
Michelle
Hi MIchelle
You can write any prescription in two different formats, but the glasses needed are the same and doesn’t affect your suitability. Yes, our price includes wavefront blade free for LASIK.
Thanks
Dave
My eyes are;
Right -4 Sph -0.5 Cyl
Left -3.5 Sph -1 Cyl
Aged 43.
How much for blade free wavefront lasik?
Hi Dave R
Total for blade free wavefront LASIK would be £2390, minus £100 Summer promotion, so £2290 until end Sept.
thanks
Dave
Hi dave
I am unsure if I will be suitable for laser eye surgery
I am 32 years old and my prescription is
R eye sph +1.00 cyl +3.25 axis 85
L eye sph +0.25 cyl +4.00 axis 85
would appreciate your opinion and if possible an idea of costs
Thanks
Michelle
Hi Michelle
Sorry for the delay as I have been away. Yes its a very high amount of longsighted astigmatism. May be quite treatable though with z-lasik but would need to see you for a consultation with my team.
Cost will be higher for treatment, based on prescription, at £1845 per eye.
thanks
Dave
Hi

Hi Alison
Sorry as I have been away.
Yes, likely suitable prescription but need a consultation.
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave
Would you be able to give me a quote please? I’ve been to Optical Express today and will be setting up an appointment with either Ultralase or Optimax. Hayd that I stumbled upon your website. Prefer not to sit in another room for 2hrs going through the whole process again. Optical Express recommended Wavefront Intralase for me, eyes healthy. My age is 30.
SPH -5
CYL -0.75
AXI 178
SPH -5.5
CYL -0.75
AXI 18
Thanks
James
hello James. Thank you for your e-mail. Sorry for the delay. I agree that Blade free wavefront LASIK is the best way to go. The price at Focus Laser Vision would be £1345 per eye.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Best regards
Dave
Hello Dave,
Thank you so much for looking after my friend Anne, she is so thrilled with the results. You are truly the best.
Kindest regards
Bella
My pleasure Bella!
Dave,
Just to say I have woken up this morning 18 hours after surgery and am truly thrilled not to be groping around for my spectacles. Reading sight is already excellent distance is getting clearer all the time. Thank you
Adam
Hi Dave is it save to say that you clinic in offers SBK instead of the traditional lasik treatment
hi John
Yes, we offer thin-flap LASIK. We don;t use the term SBK as it will only confuse patients further by adding yet another acronym. Most femto surgeon are aiming around the 100 micron mark as going thinner poses other problems, while this thickness add the benefits of healing from the different collagen formation in the uppermost part of the cornea, aiding healing and post-operative strength.
Best regards
Dave
hello i work on the farm amongst sheep and my varifocal glasses are a nightmare when bending over the animals to trim thier hoofs etc . my eyes prescription is r.sph +1.25 cyl. -0.25 axis 35 +1.50 6/6+
L.sph +1.00 cyl. -0.50 axis 170 +1.50 6/6+
how much would it cost to fix my eyes please thank you
Hi Lesley
Thanks for your mail. Your problem is very treatable and I do lots of these kinds of corrections, but not for a sheep farmer as I recall! The cost would be £1995 for laser blended vision with blade-free Z-LASIK.
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave
I’m 28 – if I were to have corrective surgery (only -1 in both eyes) would the chance that I would require reading glasses later in life increase?
Also, is the need for reading glasses inevitable for everyone?
Hi Andrew
Yes, everyone needs reading glasses eventually, unless you are short-sighted, as indeed you are. If you have your vision fixed for the distance now, you will need reading glasses in about 20 years time. But come back then and we can correct that too. We can fix reading problems already, but the technology for how we correct reading vision may well be quite different at that time.
Best regards
Dave
Sorry – more questions Dave -
If dry eye is more of a problem in the 6 months post – op, what happens after the plugs have dissolved.Will the dry eye get a lot worse?
Regards
Sue
Hi again Sue
We sometimes repeat the plugs at the three month check up if the eyes still look dry. But with the laser flaps, the eyes are getting better by then.
Thanks
Dave
Thanks Dave
What would happen if I cried – would they come out?
Regards, Sue
Hi Sue
Not at all. They sit in the tiny canal that runs from the inside corner of your eye towards your nose. So it is below the surface and wont come out.
Best regards
Dave
HiDave,
I recently attended your clinic and was told that because of dry eyes (I am 60) I may need plugs on surgery day. Are there any problems associated with these and do they work? I really want laser treatment but amn nervous about this. My dry eye problem is most noticeable during the night
Thanks, Sue
Hi Sue
We routinely use tear plugs on everyone over 45 and have never seen a problem from them. They self-dissolve over 10-12 weeks while they are inside the tear canals and are quite painless. You wont know they are there all but they will definitely help to keep your eyes lubricated. They are really tiny, and it takes only 5 seconds to put one in! Nothing to worry about with these at all.
With best regards
Dave
Hi
My prescription is -2.00 in both eyes. Please can you confirm prices for Lasik blade-free with and without wavefront option as well as finance options? I understand blade-free has a quicker recovery time and I will be travelling back up to Durham via train following surgery. Will it be safe to travel alone later the same/next day?
Thanks
Ayeasha
Hello Ayeasha
All our treatments included wavefront as it isn’t reasonable to offer LASIK in 2009 without it. The cost for -2.00 would be £1045 per eye for blade free Z-LASIK. Finance (interest free) is also available subject to application and approval. You would need to return the next day for your first check up, but would then be fine to travel back alone. If you would like to book in for that, you could call on 0845 5000 500 and Vikki or Jo could help you.
With best regards
Dave
Hi Dave,
Just a follow up question regarding the flap. I have been doing some research and have read that the flap can still be lifted after 5 years. I accept that these flaps were created by blades and that technology has moved on. My question is do the flaps created by the laser in your clinic fully heal.
Regards KL
Hi KL
Yes, BLADE flaps can be lifted years later. The oldest I have lifted personally was 9 years since original LASIK. Yes, laser flaps will heal much more strongly and are hard to lift even after a year.
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave,
I am following your Forum for the last couple of days and I must confess you and your replays are outstanding. Hates off to you.
Right: -6.25 sphere, -0.5 cyl axis 120 vision 6/10p
Left: -5.5 sphere, -0.5 cyl axis 45 vision 6/6
I will appreciate if you kindly let me know what is the cost of blade-free wavefront Z-LASIK procedure and whether I will achieve 20/20 vision or not?
Suudhh
Hi Suudh
Thanks! The cost for blade free wavefront LASIK would be approx £2,790 in total for both eyes with Focus.
Best regards
Dave
Hi Suudh
I will add a fuller answer shortly to better explain the outcome results as I don’t want to confuse.
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave,
I am 22 year old male student who has just graduated from university, therefore I am shopping around for the best quote for wavefront blade free LASIK (Z-LASIK) treatment.
My prescription is as follows for glasses:
RIGHT
Sphere: -4.75
CYL: -1.25
Axis:4
LEFT
Sphere: -3.75
CYL: -2.00
Axis: 177
Contact Lens Spec:
Right: -4.00/-1.25 x 180
Left: -3.50/-1.75 x 180
Please would you be able to give me a best quote based on the above numbers. Also please inform me whether you have any promotional discounts that are running or soon to be available.
I have 2 sisters also who are very keen and provided my treatment goes well I would be happy to refer to you could my costs be reduced based on these refferals?
look forward to your reply,
Dear S Khan
The cost of Z-LASIK would be approx £1345 for each eye, so £2,690 in total based on your numbers. We do have our unique referral program where if you refer 5 people for treatment you will receive a return of £1345 (50%) and another 5 people treated means you get your entire laser fee back! No other clinic offers this FYI. And of course you get our lifetime care guarantee.
Hope this helps!
Dave
I had a consultation in Focus clinic for blended vision last Friday 19th of June and I would like to thank all of your staff for their help and professionalism.
I am 49 years old with good long distant vision, use reading glasses +2 for computer and reading close up. During consultation I was told, I don’t have a dominant eye and my distant vision is very good in both eyes. Tried the +2 contact lens in the right eye, the close up vision became very good, the distant vision was good in the few minutes that I tried it, but obviously brain needs to adjust a bit.
Was told I would only need the surgery in one eye only at a cost of £2000 pounds for the latest Z Lasik blade free wave front, or £1699 for M Lasik.
I am hoping to book my surgery date next week, work permitting.
My question is, what is the difference between the Focus clinic Blended vision and the Blended vision that London Vision Clinic offer. London Vision Clinic say they work on two eyes to get the blended vision right otherwise is old fashion mono vision.
Can you be kind enough to look at my scan’s and let me know what I would be getting. Blended or Mono vision.
Thanks Reza
Dear Reza
Thank you for your comments. You are fortunate that your distance vision is excellent and so only one eye needs treating. Both Focus and London Vision Clinic are specialists in blended vision and both clinics will offer an excellent result I am sure. We don’t do monovision and our patients demonstrate very effective visual blending. You do not need both eyes operating on. In my hands, only 0.1% (1 per thousand) patients ultimately does not get on with blended vision at Focus, and in this case we can easily revert the eyes back to distance vision.
Best regards
Dave
Hi David
I am interested in getting laser correction and have a few questions if I may?
How much is the initial consultation?
How soon generally can this be arranged, and how soon after could the surgery take place? I would be interested in arranging treatment very soon.
Do you work at weekends at all? (thinking about whether I’d need time off work or not)
I am going on holiday mid September and anticipate swimming in the sea – when would I need to have treatment by in order to be ok to do this, or would you advise me to wait until I’m back?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi Ashley
The consultation is free, although with a £25 booking fee refundable when you attend for the appt. We can see you for consultation within 1 week usually, and treatment to follow within 1 week.
We don’t open currently at the weekends. You could swim in the sea 2 weeks after your treatment without increased risk of infection.
If you would like to come along, please call Paula on 0845 5000 500 and she can make all the arrangements for you and go through a few screening questions on the phone.
With best regards
Dave
Hi Dave
Was just wondering how much it would cost for me to have the wavefront Z-lasik treatment. I am 28 years old.
Right Eye -4.75 cyl -1.75 axis 020
Left Eye -4.75 cl -2.50 axis 180
thanks
Polo
hi dave, ignore last post- i have opted for z- lazik!
Hi
I just wanted to say that, although I’m not now going ahead with surgery, I would recommend Focus to anyone. After getting (significantly higher) quotes and the go-ahead for surgery from Optimax and Vision Express, I came to Focus. You found that there was a potential problem – a high epithelial cell count – which could cause serious complications if I went ahead with surgery and which needed further investigation. Optimax and Vision Express either didn’t spot this or thought it was worth the risk of going ahead anyway. Although it’s likely that I would be fine, I’ve decided not to have the further tests or go ahead with surgery. Thank you for being both thorough and cautious!
Best wishes
Nigel
Thanks so much for the prompt response Dave! Would the LASIK induce dry eyes, because I don’t have a problem at the moment?
Another lifestyle question… I also go to the gym often; more or less everyday, I’m a big fan of spinning and circuit classes, and I also run quite often. How long would I have to refrain from these activities post-surgery? I’ve read some awful horror stories about veiny-eyes developing if people go back to gym activities too quickly.
Many thanks indeed,
Andrea
Hi Andrea
Yes, you will get some reduction in your tear volume after LASIK but most patients are not really aware of this, and it resolves after 3-6 months. The common symptom is noticing a slight blur which clears with a couple of blinks, mainly during the first 8 weeks.
You would only need refrain from those sports activities for 1 week. Not true about the veiny eyes!
Thanks
Dave
Hi David,
I’m really interested in having laser eye surgery and your website is such a help! My main concern is that I’m a heavy PC user, sometimes up to 12 hours a day. Would this be cause for concern re having laser eye surgery? Would I be out of action for a long time? I want to be wise about things, and I can imagine that getting straight back on a PC after surgery isn’t the best idea.
Would appreciate your opinion.
With best wishes,
Andrea
Hi Andrea
Heavy PC use isn’t a problem after LASIK, although you may need to use more frequent artificial tear drops while working during the first 2-3 months as the eyes can dry more in front of a screen. But you are OK to have the treatment.
Best regards
Dave
SORRY I READ MY PRESCRIPTION WRONG? AND I WAS WEARING GLASSES!
IT SHOULD BE SPH 6.00
CYL 0.50
AXIS LEFT =55
AXIS RIGHT= 90
I NEED SURGERY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!
JULIE
Hi Julie
Is your prescription for +6.00 or -6.00?? And how old are you please?
Thanks
Dave
you dont need to post this as its just a thankyou for your reassuring posts earlier. your advice got me from “I probably wont have this done as its too risky” to booking for a consultation, (which is tomorrow at your surgery.) and hoping to have surgery before end of june.
so thnx again. looking forward to a life without glasses!
trev
Hi Dave,
Many thanks for your quick response. I have few more questions for you. As I am 30 years old now and thinking about Lasik intralase with wavefront. In about 10 years I will need reading glasses. Is there another type of surgery that I will be able to have then to help with reading?
I read some of your comments earlier where you mentioned these treatments can be reversed? Is that correct? I went for a consultation to Optical Express and I was told it cannot be reversed so I am confused. I also have concerns about night vision. I have been told that few people do get problems with vision at night. Is this true and does this get better with time?
Many thanks
Nikki
Hi NIkki
Reading glasses are usually needed between 45-50 so you will have 15-20 years before you will go back to glasses. I expect the technology to correct near vision will be different to how we do this today, and cannot see any reason why you will not be able to have a second procedure later in your life.
For reversal, we can take back the effects of treatment and put the focus back to where it was before. However, clearly we have done some surgery and there will be some changes within the cornea that cannot be reversed. Hope that explains somewhat!
Best regards
Dave
Hi Mark
Blended vision is where we plan to correct the need for reading glasses or varifocal glasses, to leave good far and near vision. We achieve this through blending the vision from each eye, one weighted more for near and the other for normal distance vision. The advanced optics of the treatment allows the brain to comfortably use the eyes binocularly and see at all distances.
Best regards
Dave
Hi Dave,
I am thinking about Laser eye surgery. I am 30 years old and my prescription is as follows:
Right Eye -1.75 cyl -0.50 axis 10
Left Eye -1.75 cl -1.00 axis 180
I have been for a consulation to optical express where they have told me I can have laser eye surgery.
They have recommended Lasik intralase with wavefront.
I have been reading about your clinic and yourself. I would like to know what I would be paying for to have this type of treatment.
I am in Leicester about 2 hours away from London, do you have other clinics around here?
If not, do you have saturday appointment available?
Many thanks
Hi Nikki
Thanks for your mail. Treatment with ourselves for equivalent blade free wavefront LASIK would be £1045 per eye. Unfortunately we are a single specialist clinic and not located elsewhere apart from central London by Harley Street, and don’t have Saturday appointments – sorry we are not making it easy for you!
If we can help, just let me know or you can reach Paula on 0845 5000 500 if you would like to come along.
With best regards
Dave
Thanks for your response Dave,
Im 28 yrs of age. I probably do about an average of 2-3hrs on a pc per day and on weekends could be more. This is not constant use and is staggered over the day with most of the time being personal use in the evening.
I thank you for the suggestion of over compensating to cover any changes over the net few years. Is it normal at my age to deteriate so quickly and if so will it slow down/stop after laser treatment?
I had heard that wearing glasses more frequently is a cause of this? not sure if there is any truth in this.
Kind regards
Paul
Hi Paul
I would expect your prescription to be pretty stable at 28 and without excessive near work. Also, sometimes you can see variation between different testers. So if in any doubt, might be better to wait 6 months and we can retest it to ensure it is stable. Having laser treatment in and of itself would not change the progression of your condition so best to assure stability beforehand.
Best regards
Dave
