Laser Eye Surgery Cost Explained

Laser-Eye-Surgery-Cost
 
When it comes to laser eye surgery, the two most common concerns of prospective laser eye surgery patients are cost and safety; how much will it cost and what exactly is involved in the process from start to finish?
 
But that’s hardly surprising really because, when you think about it, anyone considering undergoing a life-altering procedure such as laser eye surgery needs to have complete confidence in the provider whom they ultimately decide to go with. In other words, they need to be safe in the knowledge that they are getting exactly what they are paying for, in terms of patient care, customer service, medical expertise and post-operative attention.
 
And this means that the two big concerns of price and safety are intertwined; you can’t consider one without the other because cost takes into account the entire process from initial consultation right through to post-operative care. Or at least, it should.
 

Pricing of laser eye surgery at other clinics

It’s a pertinent question and in truth, there simply shouldn’t be big price disparities between one clinic and another. Why? Because at the end of the day, laser eye surgery is a highly sophisticated medical procedure involving the most complex organ in the human body and should never, therefore, be one which is available “on the cheap”.
 
On the contrary, it should be considered in the context of the entire procedure, from initial consultation through to the laser surgery treatment itself and right through to post-operative check-ups and patient care. 

Clinics who do choose to drive down prices in order to entice in patients have to cut corners to justify their low cost pricing model: less consultations, less patient care, lower end technology and an all-round inferior treatment from start to finish.
 

So, if you choose to pay less in the short-term, by taking a chance on a clinic that offers an on-the face-of-it exceptionally low price, the chances are you will simply end up paying more in the long term….because there’s always a catch isn’t there?

 

Don’t take any risks – your eyes are just too important

You see, we don’t cut corners. We deliver the same high level of care to all of our patients every single time – no add-ons, no optional extras, no hidden costs, just exceptional care every time as standard.

Most people notice they have to hold printed material at arm’s length, away from their face, in an attempt to see it clearly - this is a dead giveaway for Presbyopia. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had laser eye surgery before, or if you’ve had perfect vision all your life - Presbyopia is inevitable.

I had LASIK done in Dublin after a consultation and follow up in Derry. From the very start, Elizabeth in Derry put me at ease with her approach. Such a warm, helpful way about her. Surgeon Mikhall Hernandez took the time to meet me in advance to explain the process. All the staff- Iwona, Julie, Jess, Robbie (from Donegal!) and Rachael, I really appreciated the way they supported me from start to finish

I had a great LASIK experience at Optilase Carrickmines and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Tom Materman is incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him, as well as the whole Optilase team! I didn’t feel anything during the procedure, which was much easier than I expected. My recovery has also been going really well—I’m only on day two, and everything has been smooth so far. Thank you to everyone at Optilase for the excellent care!

Life changing. From the initial consultation to the aftercare, Optilase have been friendly, professional and caring every step of the way. No worry or concern was too small for a detailed discussion and helpful response. 3 months after my phakic lens surgery my vision is as good as it ever was with glasses without the hassle. Would recommend the Optilase Carrickmines team to anyone.
