    • Advanced LASIK (iDesign) — £1,495 per eye

    • Monofocal lens replacement — £2,500 per eye

For both eyes, total cost is typically several thousand pounds. Your exact price is only confirmed after a consultation, where Optical Express assesses suitability and recommends the right treatment for you.

What Affects the Price

  • Your prescription — stronger corrections usually cost more

  • The procedure type — LASIK, LASEK or lens replacement

  • Whether advanced technology like iDesign is used

  • Your suitability, confirmed at clinical assessment

Finance Options

Many patients spread the cost rather than paying upfront. Finance options can change, so it's worth asking about current payment plans directly at your consultation.
