Laser eye surgery at Precision Vision London starts from £1,950 per eye for LASIK and LASEK / TransPRK, from £2,500 per eye for Blended Vision and from £2,550 per eye for SMILE. For both eyes the clinic says to double the per-eye price, so LASIK or LASEK starts from £3,900 for both eyes. We checked its prices on 15 October 2026. Sapphire Eye Care, the other clinic group we work with, doesn’t offer laser eye surgery.
Laser eye surgery prices by treatment
Precision Vision London publishes a starting price per eye for each laser treatment:
| Treatment at Precision Vision London | Price per eye |
|---|---|
| LASIK & LASEK / TransPRK | from £1,950 |
| Blended Vision | from £2,500 |
| SMILE | from £2,550 |
The price depends on the treatment. Precision Vision London lists LASIK and the surface treatments LASEK and TransPRK at the same price, Blended Vision from £2,500 and SMILE from £2,550 per eye. For both eyes it says to double the per-eye price. Its footnote says specialist or complex prescriptions, toric options and previous surgery may incur higher costs, so ask for your own price at the consultation.

What the price includes
Precision Vision London says every price is all-inclusive:
- Consultation and diagnostics: a full surgeon-led assessment and advanced diagnostic scans
- The procedure, with no surprise fees
- Post-surgery medications, eye shields and protective goggles
- 12 months of follow-ups: all aftercare appointments through your first year
- Any enhancement procedure within the first year at no extra cost
- Your consultant surgeon looking after you from the first consultation through surgery to aftercare
Precision Vision London says there are no hidden extras, and that its LASIK and LASEK / TransPRK use the Schwind Amaris 1050RS laser with Advanced Wavefront technology as standard, included in the price at no extra charge. The Royal College of Ophthalmologists says a clinic should be clear from the outset about the total cost, which normally includes follow-up visits and treatment for any problems resulting from surgery. Precision Vision London includes any enhancement needed within its 12-month aftercare programme; other clinics set their own cover, so ask how long it lasts before you book. Our guide to the total cost of laser eye surgery goes through the extras in more detail.
LASIK, surface treatments or SMILE
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists describes three types of laser vision correction commonly used in the UK. Their risks and benefits are similar, all of them normally produce very good results in the right patients, and your surgeon will say which one suits you.
- LASIK is typically performed with two lasers. A femtosecond laser makes a thin protective flap, an excimer laser reshapes the cornea beneath it, and the flap is smoothed back into place without stitches. People are often able to return to work the day after surgery, but should avoid contact sports for at least a month. More on LASIK costs.
- Surface treatments (PRK, LASEK and TransPRK) reshape the cornea just beneath its clear skin layer, which grows back over about a week. The eye is normally very sore while it heals, and you may need a week or longer before your vision reaches the driving standard. TransPRK removes the skin layer with the laser itself, which shortens recovery by one to two days compared with PRK and LASEK. More on PRK and LASEK costs.
- Lenticule extraction (SMILE and similar treatments) uses a femtosecond laser to shape a lens-shaped piece of tissue, which the surgeon removes through a small incision — like LASIK without the flap. Visual recovery may be slightly slower. More on SMILE costs.
The College says visual results at three months are equally good for all three, so the choice mostly comes down to your eyes and how quickly you need to be back to normal. At Precision Vision London, LASIK and LASEK / TransPRK cost the same, from £1,950 per eye, and the clinic says its surgeon selects the technique for your prescription, corneal thickness and lifestyle; SMILE is from £2,550 per eye. The clinic says LASIK gives clearer vision typically within 24–48 hours, while LASEK / TransPRK takes around 5–7 days to heal. Its laser service is led by Dr CT Pillai, and SMILE is performed by Dr Radwan Almousa. For how each treatment works, see our guides to LASIK, SMILE and PRK.
Who can have laser eye surgery
According to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, you need to be over 18 with a stable glasses prescription, which normally means no change greater than 0.5 dioptres in the last two years. You’re most likely to be suitable with up to −10.00D of short sight, +4.00D of long sight or ±6.00D of astigmatism, although higher prescriptions can be treated in some people. Other eye problems, including cataracts or problems with the health of the eye surface, may mean it isn’t suitable for you.
From the mid-40s, surgeons often aim for clear distance vision in one eye and clear vision at arm’s length in the other, which helps with reading. Precision Vision London lists Presbyond Blended Vision from £2,500 per eye for over-40s who want freedom from reading glasses; see our guide to PRESBYOND blended vision. For people in the retirement age group, where early cataract is common, the College says refractive lens exchange is often preferred, while lens implants can suit younger people whose prescription is outside the usual laser range — see our ICL surgery cost guide.
Risks and side effects
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists says permanent, serious loss of vision is rare after laser vision correction: fewer than 1 in 5,000 patients need a corneal transplant to restore their sight. Needing more surgery is far more common — up to 1 in 10 patients need some form of additional surgery to get the best result, and it usually feels like the original operation. Most people notice glare, halos or starbursts at first, especially when driving at night, along with some dryness and variable vision; these usually improve within a few months. Red blotches on the white of the eye are particularly common after LASIK and can take up to six weeks to fade.
The NHS lists the complications your surgeon should talk you through, including under-treatment or over-correction, needing a second operation and permanent, serious loss of vision.
NHS, insurance and paying
- The NHS. The NHS says laser eye surgery is not usually offered on the NHS. You may be able to have it on the NHS if you have an eye condition that could lead to loss of vision, or problems with your sight that can’t be corrected by wearing glasses or contact lenses.
- Insurance. The Royal College of Ophthalmologists says surgery to correct the need for glasses or contact lenses isn’t covered by private health insurance schemes, so check with your insurer what your policy covers.
- Paying. Precision Vision London says 0% APR finance is available over 12 months on selected treatments, with longer plans at 9.9% APR over 24 to 60 months, subject to status. Other clinics set their own payment terms, so ask for them in writing before you book. Eye Surgery Clinic does not lend money or arrange finance. Our guide to laser eye surgery finance lists what to ask before you agree.
