Laser eye surgery cost in London
3 clinic groups run laser eye surgery sites in London: Optical Express, Optimax, OCL Vision. None of them publishes a London price. Each sets one national price list, so a London quote starts from the same £1,295 per eye as one anywhere else in the UK. What changes locally is which clinics you can reach — not what they charge. Entry prices tied to a narrow prescription range are marked below and are not counted in that figure.
These are national prices, not London prices
Each of the 3 operators with a clinic in London sets one price list for the whole UK. None publishes a London figure, so the prices below are the same ones quoted anywhere else in the country. What changes locally is which clinics you can reach — not what they charge. If a clinic quotes you something different, that is a local promotion rather than a published price; ask for it in writing.
What the London operators publish
Every price below is the operator's own published national figure, per eye, read from its fee page. Procedures are listed separately because LASIK, LASEK/PRK, SMILE and Presbyond are different operations at different prices — a single “laser eye surgery” figure would have to pick one and discard the rest.
| Clinic group | Procedure | National price (all UK clinics) |
|---|---|---|
| Optical Express | LASEK / PRKEntry price — only a stated minority of patients qualify | £595 per eye |
| Optical Express | LASIK | £1,295 per eye |
| Optimax | LASEK / PRK | £1,295 per eye |
| Optimax | LASIK | £1,295 per eye |
| OCL Vision | LASEK / PRK | £1,995 per eye |
| OCL Vision | LASIK | £1,995 per eye |

What we hold no London price for
No branch-level price exists for any London clinic, because no operator publishes one. Independent single-site clinics in London may charge differently from the chains, but almost all of them quote after an assessment rather than publishing a fee, so this site holds no figure for them and will not estimate one.
If a clinic quotes you something other than its published national list, that is a local promotion rather than a published price. Ask for it in writing, and ask what the figure covers — aftercare and follow-up appointments are where quotes most often differ.

Prices are the operators' own published national figures, per eye, each linking to the page it was read from. Clinic locations come from each operator's own clinic finder.
