How do I use the Optical Express referral code?

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.

Which treatments can I use the £300 discount for?

Can I find this discount on Reddit?

Some people search Reddit for an Optical Express referral code or Optical Express discount code. I do share Optical Express feedback on relevant forums, but the easiest and fastest way to get your £300 referral code is by using the form on this website.

Can I refer my own friends directly with Optical Express?

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 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.
