The NHS route

Not tracked. NHS England's waiting-time data does not separate laser refractive surgery, and this site has not read an NHS commissioning policy for it, so it states no NHS wait or eligibility here. NHS sight tests and optical vouchers are covered on the eye test page.

Before you pay a laser clinic

  • Ask whether the quote is per eye or for both.
  • Confirm which procedure the price covers; they are priced differently.
  • Check whether the suitability assessment is charged separately, and whether it is refunded against surgery.
  • Ask how many follow-up appointments are included, and for how long.
  • Ask what an enhancement or re-treatment would cost if one is needed.
  • Check the surgeon is on the GMC specialist register and the clinic is registered with the CQC (England) or the relevant regulator.

Is the published price per eye or for both eyes?
Every figure on this page is per eye. Rows that do not state a per-eye basis are left out rather than assumed, because a both-eyes figure in a per-eye range doubles the top of it.
Why does this page show fewer clinics than before?
A figure is shown only if its fee page was read within the last 60 days. 5 laser prices are currently withheld for that reason and will return when the page is read again.

Laser eye surgery by city

These operators price nationally, so the figures do not change by city; what changes is which clinics you can reach. A page exists only where at least two operators both have a clinic and publish a price.

Fee pages read

Every price is read from the clinic's own fee page, per eye, and dated. Figures not re-read within 60 days are withheld. Clinics are listed alphabetically within each procedure; nothing is ranked, and no clinic pays for inclusion. Suitability must be assessed by a qualified ophthalmologist. Methodology →
