Laser Eye Surgery - the real cost
Discussion
So thinking about getting laser eye surgery to correct my short-sightedness and keep seeing these "from £350" promotions - obviously the cost is going to be a lot more (classic promotional hook a la Easyjet).
So, with a perscription strength of -5.00 and -4.25, does anyone know what realistically I could expect to pay?
Want a good outfit (such as ultralase - sp?) and not a butcher with blood on his apron !
Thanks in advance.

From my experience of working with Optical Express, they wouldn't be my first port of call.
I worked in the Dental side and the treatment the dentist and I carried out was of my usual excellent standard , but their "management" was an absolute joke!Anyway "from" £350 an eye, if you have the basic lasik and have a mild prescription.
I have -5.25 in each eye and was quoted £3150 and thats with staff discount!

Whatever they say it will cost. Is right.
Whatever they say you need. Is right.
I have yet to read / hear a bad report. I have had my eyes and my families / friends eyes corercted by them.
A real life changer.
That's how my wife feels about Vision Express. Superb surgery, marinally incompetent management but life-changing results for just over £3k.Whatever they say it will cost. Is right.

Had both mine done. Don't know anyone who has been anywhere near to £395 per eye. More like £1200 per eye minimum, rising to around £1400-1500 per eye for the latest technology.
The £395 per eye seems just a con to get you through the door, and based on the fact that you have turned up at all means you are extremely interested.

£595 per eye but I know 2 people (uncle and my sister) who both had theirs done at the "con price".
It's not a con at all.

Most people who need permanently corrected vision are short sighted.
Most short sighted people also have astigmatism.
Laser eye surgery cannot correct astigmatism so you may as well go for some nice comfortable toric lenses.
