Consultation Fees
Before any treatment, a thorough assessment is essential to determine the most appropriate approach for your specific condition.
Initial Consultation
- New Appointment: £250
- Follow-Up Appointment: £250
- Second Opinion After Previous Surgery: £300 (excluding scans)
During your consultation, our specialists will examine your eyes, discuss your symptoms, and recommend the most suitable treatment option based on your individual needs.
Pterygium Removal Costs
Pterygium (often called “surfer’s eye”) is a wedge-shaped growth that extends from the white of the eye onto the cornea. If left untreated, it can cause discomfort, redness, and potentially affect vision.
Treatment Options and Fees
Pterygium Excision with Conjunctival Autograft
- £2000 per eye
Surgical removal of pterygium is available at our modern clinics in Weymouth Street (London), Chelmsford, and Hatfield. Our approach uses advanced microsurgical techniques to ensure complete removal, natural appearance, and minimal risk of recurrence. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, with most patients returning home the same day.
This gold-standard technique involves removing the pterygium and replacing the excised tissue with a thin graft of your own healthy conjunctiva, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence and promoting optimal healing.
Pinguecula Removal Costs
A pinguecula is a yellowish, slightly raised growth on the white of the eye, typically near the corner closest to the nose. While often harmless, it can become inflamed and cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Treatment Options and Fees
Surgical Removal of Pinguecula
- One eye: £800
- Two eyes: £1400
Surgical removal of pinguecula is offered at Harley Street (London), Chelmsford, and Hatfield. This procedure effectively removes the growth, relieving symptoms and improving appearance.
Laser Removal of Pinguecula
- One eye: £1250
- Two eyes: £2000
For suitable cases, we provide argon laser photocoagulation of pinguecula – a minimally invasive option available exclusively at our Harley Street eye clinic. This advanced laser treatment can reduce inflammation and improve appearance with minimal downtime.
Recurrence Protection Any further laser treatment required for up to a year after the initial procedure is included in the price, giving you peace of mind about your investment in your eye health.
