* This £500 deposit payment is deducted from the total cost of surgery if patient is found suitable. If a patient is found to be unsuitable for Laser eye surgery, this deposit payment will be refunded in full. Wavefront indicates the use of 3D scanning technology but this will often have a different name depending on the clinic and exact technology used (ie. iDesign for Optical Express, Intralase for Optimax, Wavefront for other clinics). LASIK Wavefront Surgery costs tend to be higher than standard surgery.Despite the various type of surgery, each one should include on-going post-operative care with follow-up appointments a few days after the operation together with a yearly checkup. In some cases the surgery comes with a reassuring lifetime guarantee.
All clinics will offer some sort of financing for their LASIK treatment in order to make the payments more manageable. Many will offer 0% finance over a short time period (i.e. 10-12 months) and will charge around 9.5-11.5% APR if you would like to pay off the balance over a longer period (i.e. 12 -72 months).
Always check the total amount you are repaying if you are applying for finance – the low monthly repayments look great but you can end up paying substantially more than the original price due to the interest rate.
To be eligible for some of the special finance arrangements offered by clinics, those undergoing the surgery must have been a UK citizen for at least three years, have a good credit history and be full-time employed.
There are so many clinics out there offering laser eye surgery, and each attesting to its level of expertise, it’s difficult to decide where to go. Location will obviously be a factor and so too will the cost. When it comes to the latter, there really isn’t that much of a difference between the national clinics offering the same procedures but those with higher prescriptions may be better off paying more and not just focus on finding the cheapest LASIK surgery you can.
Due to higher prescriptions requiring more complex LASIK procedures, some clinics will have tiered prices depending on the patients prescription (e.g. Focus has 2 prices – one for standard and one for specialist LASIK surgery).
