Optical Express Referral Code FAQs

Intro

Here are answers to the most common questions about the Optical Express referral code, the £300 discount, eligible treatments and where the voucher can be used across the UK and Ireland.

What Is the Optical Express Refer a Friend Programme?

The Optical Express Refer a Friend programme allows previous Optical Express patients to refer friends and family members for eligible treatment. According to Optical Express, the referred patient can receive £300 off eligible treatment when a valid voucher is presented at the initial consultation, while the referrer may receive a reward once treatment has been completed.

How do I use the Optical Express referral code?

Once you receive your code by email, simply show it at your consultation or when booking your surgery. The official Optical Express refer a friend page says that a valid voucher must be presented at the time of the initial consultation.

What if my referral code expires?

If your referral code expires before you book, don’t worry — you can request a new one.

Is the Optical Express referral code genuine?

Yes — the Optical Express referral code is part of the official Optical Express refer a friend offer. The official Optical Express page states that the programme gives the friend £300 off the cost of surgery and that the referrer receives £100 when the friend completes surgery.

I simply generate the referral code for you and send it to your inbox. There is no fee to request the voucher through this website.

What if my referral discount is not applied?

The most important thing is to make sure the voucher is shown at your initial consultation, because the official Optical Express page says a valid voucher must be presented at that stage.

If you are unsure, mention your referral code when booking and bring the voucher with you to your appointment.

Do I Need an Optical Express Referral Login?

No. If you are requesting a referral code through this website, you do not need an Optical Express referral login or account. Simply complete the form and I will send your referral voucher by email.

Which treatments can I use the £300 discount for?

The £300 discount can be used for:

  • LASIK laser eye surgery

  • LASEK laser eye surgery

  • Lens replacement surgery

  • Cataract treatment

Does the £300 discount affect my consultation?

No. Attending a consultation does not mean you are committed to treatment. The referral voucher simply provides a discount if you decide to proceed with eligible treatment.

Does the Optical Express referral code work in Ireland?

Yes.

The referral programme can be used at Optical Express clinics throughout the UK and Ireland provided the voucher is valid and presented at the required stage of the consultation process.

Yes — if you have previously had treatment with Optical Express, you can refer your own friends directly through the official Optical Express Refer a Friend programme.

This website simply allows people who don’t already have access to a referral code to request one easily. If you already have a code or know someone who can refer you, you can use that instead.

How much does Optical Express laser eye surgery cost?

Prices vary depending on treatment, but most people pay between £3,000 and £5,000 for both eyes. You can read the full breakdown on my Optical Express cost page.
