In simple terms, humm is an easy alternative to paying with cash or with credit card and allows you to pay in monthly instalments.
humm allows you to spread the cost of your treatment at Optilase Eye Clinic. It’s that simple. Applications can be made online (please ensure that you are not using Internet Explorer). If you are approved for finance with humm, you can use this approval for any treatment at Optilase Eye Clinic.
*Interest rates and fees are dependent on your plan.
To be eligible for humm you must meet the following criteria:
• Be at least 18 years of age • Provide proof of address • Be a British or Irish citizen or permanent resident in the UK • Earn a minimum taxable income of €1,000 per month • Have a current credit/debit card and a photo ID • Have a good credit history
Optometrists are the principle providers of eye examinations to the public in Ireland. They are fully qualified to check the health of your eyes, and they can also provide you with a prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
You need to achieve a certain standard of vision to be eligible to drive. Your optometrist can confirm whether or not you do so.
Certain occupations and trades require specific visual standards. Your optometrists can inform you of these standards.
Many eye conditions are hereditary, so it’s important to be aware when a relative is diagnosed with an eye condition.
Children should be examined at a young age - if they have an uncorrected problem for a significant length of time they may develop a permanent reduction in vision in one or both eyes. Appropriate vision correction before the age of 7 is the best way to avoid this long-term visual problem.
It is recommended that you have your eyes checked at least every two years and more often when your optometrist advises. Some patients with underlying medical issues, like diabetes, need to be checked at least once a year.
Certain medications can affect your vision and the health of your eye. For example some malaria tablets can damage the macula, which gives you sharp central vision; prolonged steroid use can speed up the development of cataracts. Your optometrist can advise you of any ocular side effects of medication you may be taking.
Using a computer for long periods throughout the day can have a negative impact on your eyes. If you spend a lot of time on a computer for work, you may be eligible for a free VDU (Visual Display Unit) eye test on a regular basis.

From beginning to End of my procedure with Optilase, I was treated personally and professionally. The surgery, true aftercare was smooth and efficient and I can only say it was the perfect choice for us . I highly recommend Optilase.

I recently had the PRK procedure a month ago. It's been life changing to be able to see clearly after wearing glasses for 20 years. My vision was not 20/20 after surgery since I had PRK and I was first scared that it won't get better. But give it time and patience and it will improve. Optilase was superb on aftercare and the team during the surgery really took care of me. I'm so happy ❤️ Thank you Optilase!

I found the whole process very professional and very well organised. They also assisted in the documentation process very easy. They were also very good to help in arranging the reference process too. If I was make one small comment is they need to add a prescription painkiller to the process. Although the after experience was exactly what was expected it could been managed better with a stronger pain relief. Other than that I have recommended 3 people to get the procedure from Optilase, all of which had a great experience. I would highly recommend Optilase for vision correction and the long term benefits have changed my life.
