How Much Does Eye Surgery Cost in London? A Transparent Guide
A clear, honest breakdown of eye surgery costs in London including LASIK, cataract surgery, lens replacement, and ICL — with finance options explained.
We believe that cost transparency is essential when you are considering eye surgery. Hidden fees, vague pricing, and unexpected charges create unnecessary stress and undermine trust — which is why K Vision Centre publishes clear, all-inclusive pricing for every procedure we offer. This guide breaks down what eye surgery costs in London in 2026 and explains exactly what is included.
LASIK eye surgery at K Vision Centre starts from £1,195 per eye. This all-inclusive price covers your pre-operative consultation, the LASIK procedure itself using the latest femtosecond and excimer laser technology, and all routine post-operative follow-up appointments. PRK (LASEK) laser eye surgery is priced identically. There are no additional charges for wavefront-optimised treatment profiles or enhanced aftercare.
Cataract surgery starts from £2,750 per eye with a standard monofocal intraocular lens. This includes the consultation, ultrasound phacoemulsification surgery, the lens implant, and all follow-up appointments. Premium lens upgrades — including multifocal, extended depth of focus (EDOF), and toric lenses for astigmatism correction — are available from £3,950 per eye. The premium lens price includes the advanced technology lens and any additional measurements required.
Implantable contact lens (ICL) surgery starts from £2,995 per eye for a standard spherical ICL, with toric ICL options for astigmatism correction from £3,700 per eye. Again, this is an all-inclusive price covering consultation, the procedure, the lens, and aftercare.
Refractive lens exchange (clear lens replacement) starts from £3,500 per eye, with premium multifocal and EDOF lens options from £4,500 per eye. This procedure is identical to cataract surgery but is performed on a clear lens — typically for patients over 50 who want freedom from glasses and to eliminate the need for future cataract surgery.
How do K Vision Centre prices compare to the London market? Private eye surgery pricing in London varies significantly between clinics. LASIK prices typically range from £1,000 to £3,000 per eye, with high-street chains at the lower end and Harley Street consultant-led practices at the higher end. Our pricing is positioned to offer exceptional value for consultant-led surgery — every procedure at K Vision Centre is performed personally by Miss Tina Khanam, a fellowship-trained Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon.
Understanding what is included in your quoted price is crucial when comparing clinics. Some providers advertise low headline prices but charge separately for consultations, enhanced aftercare packages, follow-up appointments, or wavefront-guided treatments. At K Vision Centre, the price you are quoted includes everything. The only additional cost is if a retreatment or enhancement is needed — which occurs in fewer than 3% of cases and is performed at a significantly reduced fee.
We offer interest-free finance to help spread the cost of treatment. Monthly payment plans are available, making procedures accessible without a large upfront payment. Our team can discuss finance options with you at your consultation or over the phone.
Your consultation fee is fully redeemable against any treatment — so if you decide to proceed, the consultation is effectively free. There is never any pressure to commit. Book a consultation at our Harley Street, Spire Gatwick Park, or Spire St Anthony's clinic by calling 020 3488 2084.
