People confused about laser eye surgery prices!

I got an email this week from a Mr. John Andrews, who was confused about LASIK laser eye surgery pricing.

John wrote:

Having visited your site I am not clear what criteria you used to determine the cost of treatment. What level of myopia do you treat for £295 per eye assuming a thick cornea and no astigmatism?

And here is my reply to John:

Dear Confused

Let me clarify!

There are two pricing models in the UK. One based on prescription and the other a fixed price per treatment type. We base short sighted correction prices on prescription, in the same way that Optical Express does.

Prices for keratome based lasik start at £295 for WAVEFRONT based lasik. This covers up to 1.5D of astigmatism and up to 1D of myopia. Anyone with up to that prescription gets wavefront treatment at that price.

NOTE: You can see the £395 headline price from Optical Express and Optimax is not what you will pay at all when you want modern wavefront LASIK. Those prices are for non-wavefront treatments and you have to pay extra if you want up to date wavefront LASIK. They start at these clinics at £795 per eye.

Our prices are for wavefront based treatment with FDA confirmation that this method outperforms ALL other lasers for custom treatments (see our web site under results.)

We are cheaper than ALL other London based clinics for a range of prescriptions. Check out my blog on this topic with a graph comparison of prices for various prescriptions at various London clinics. (keratome (bladed) wavefront LASIK)

To clarify, if you want keratome (bladed) lasik, for the above prescription range, then it will cost £295 per eye. If you want to upgrade to a dual laser system (most , but not all, want to take the upgrade by choice) then that will be £595 per eye. This is still markedly cheaper than other London centres.

SO:
Cheaper price, NHS consultant corneal and laser fellowship trained specialist, lasers with best FDA results.

Easy choice, isn’t it??

If you still not sure, ping me a reply!

    Hi,

    I noticed that you haven’t included Accuvision in your price comparisons . Is there any reason they were not included in your comparisons? I know they use wavefrong technology at a fairly reasonable price . Could you tell me if you can beat their prices for a range of prescriptions ?

    Thanks
