Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser eye surgery worth the cost?
Laser eye surgery is a one-time investment that provides permanent vision correction. Over a 10-year period, the average glasses and contact lens wearer spends thousands on prescriptions, frames, lenses and solutions. Laser eye surgery eliminates these ongoing costs whilst freeing you from daily dependence on visual aids. Most patients consider the improved quality of life and long-term savings excellent value.
Is laser eye surgery available on the NHS?
Laser eye surgery is rarely available on the NHS. It is only offered in exceptional circumstances, such as conditions that may lead to blindness if untreated. Correcting short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism is considered elective rather than medically necessary. Private laser eye surgery is the standard route for most patients seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses.
