What is the cost of laser eye surgery - An explanation.

Here you can get an idea of how much lasik and wavefront laser eye surgery will cost with us.

We have three levels of pricing, which depend on what kind of glasses or contact lenses you wear. The simpler your glasses and vision problem, the lower the price.

The lowest price is for treating short sight (myopia) and prices start from only £1300 per eye for blade-free wavefront Z-LASIK. Short sight is usually quite stable and one treatment should clear the vision for good, so quite easy to correct.

Long sight (hyperopia) is a bit more difficult to treat and is a progressive problem, so prices start from £1300 per eye for wavefront Z-LASIK.

If you need glasses for reading, usually over the age of 40, then we need to provide you with clear reading plus keeping great distance vision. This needs an expert custom optics treatment for which FOCUS Laser Vision is a true specialist clinic and so is more expensive than treating either short or long sight. All reading treatments are £2200 per eye (Blade-free Z-LASIK, wavefront and custom optics) and generally do not depend on your prescription.

The refractive error that you have, e.g. short sight or long sight, and also the strength of your glasses is measured in diopters (usually marked by the letter D, or occasionally DS). This number tells you what kind of lens is needed for your glasses or contact lenses, and it is also used to determine your laser eye treatment. The more short sighted or long sighted you are, the worse you eye sight and the higher your prescription will be in diopters (D).

The prescription for glasses that you get from your optician or from your laser eye consultation may be written in 3 numbers. Let’s look at an example of a prescription:

e.g. -4.00/ -1.50 X 90.

You might see three boxes for each eye on your prescription, labelled as SPH, CYL and AXIS. There can sometimes be a fourth number labelled ADD.

We only use the first two numbers to work out what you treatment will cost, because these two indicate the size and complexity of your vision problem, and hence how much laser treatment is needed to fix it.

In our example above, the first number (e.g. -4.00) identifies the amount of short sightedness or long sightedness. The sign is an indication of whether you are short sighted (with a minus ‘-’ in front) or long sighted (with a plus ‘+’ in front).

The second number (e.g. -1.50) shows how much astigmatism you have. This simply tells us how irregular your prescription is. The higher the number, the more distortion you have in your vision. This can be written as either + or -. We always use the - (minus or negative) format.

The third number (90) tells us more about the shape of the astigmatism. In this case, was say the astigmatism is at 90 degrees.

We use your prescription to work out the appropriate laser vision treatment to correct your vision problem. In other words, these numbers say how much and where the laser needs to be used to reshape the cornea to an ideal curve.
