What makes us different

Genuinely different private eye care

Most private clinics rotate consultants, push standard lenses, and feel transactional. We do the opposite — by design.

01

One surgeon, start to finish

The Consultant Ophthalmologist who assesses you on day one operates on you and reviews your aftercare. No handovers.

02

Full lens range

Monofocal, toric, EDOF, multifocal and trifocal IOLs from Alcon, Tecnis, Zeiss and Rayner — chosen for your eyes, not for cost.

03

No waiting lists

First consultation typically 1–2 weeks. Surgery within 4–6 weeks. Same-day bilateral treatment when clinically suitable.

04

All-inclusive pricing

Surgery, theatre fees, anaesthetist where applicable, premium IOL, and aftercare — all in one transparent quote.

Patient feedback

Real outcomes, in patients' own words

★★★★★
"From the moment I rang, the team were calm, knowledgeable and unhurried. Mr Tanner explained everything about my cataract surgery and the lens options. Three weeks on, I'm reading without glasses for the first time in 30 years."

★★★★★
"After being on an NHS waiting list for over a year, I came here and had a consultation within a fortnight. The whole journey from first call to final follow-up was the same consultant — I never had to repeat my history. Truly excellent."
D
David W. Blepharoplasty · Winchester
★★★★★
"My optician noticed early glaucoma signs. The consultant talked me through SLT laser as an alternative to drops. The procedure itself took ten minutes and I haven't needed drops since. The aftercare has been thorough."

Common questions

Everything you might want to ask

How much does private cataract surgery cost in the UK?
Private cataract surgery starts from £2,900 per eye with a standard monofocal IOL. Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses are from £3,796 per eye, and multifocal IOLs from £4,300 per eye. All prices are all-inclusive of consultation, surgery, theatre fees, anaesthetist where applicable, and aftercare follow-ups.
Do I need a GP referral?
No GP referral is required for private eye surgery. You can request a consultation directly via our form or by calling 0333 034 4955. We will write to your GP after assessment if you would like, and we accept referrals from GPs and optometrists too.
How quickly can I be seen and have surgery?
First consultations are typically available within 1–2 weeks. Where surgery is recommended and you are clinically ready, treatment is usually scheduled within 4–6 weeks. For procedures like YAG laser capsulotomy, we can often perform the laser at the same visit as your consultation.
Will I see the same surgeon throughout?
Yes. The same Consultant Ophthalmologist who performs your initial assessment will operate on you and conduct your aftercare reviews. There are no rotating clinicians — continuity of care is one of our core principles.
Can I use private medical insurance?
Yes — we are recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, Cigna, WPA, Healix, SimplyHealth, Benenden, The Exeter and other major UK insurers. Most members will need an open referral or GP letter; we handle authorisation paperwork on your behalf.
What if I cannot afford to pay upfront?
We offer 0% finance over 12 months and longer-term finance up to 60 months at competitive APR (subject to status). For example, cataract surgery at £2,900 works out at approximately £242 per month over 12 months at 0% interest.
