All-inclusive UK 2026 self-pay prices across 5 options, from £2,900. Each fee covers the consultant surgeon, theatre, procedure and structured aftercare.
Private implant lenses cost from £2,900 per eye at Eye Surgery Clinic. That is the all-inclusive price for a standard monofocal intraocular lens. A toric lens to correct astigmatism is from £3,400, an extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) lens from £3,796, and a premium multifocal or trifocal lens from £4,300 per eye. Every package covers your surgeon, the theatre, your chosen lens and all aftercare.
Implant lens prices
The cost depends on the type of intraocular lens (IOL) you choose. The lens is selected with your surgeon at your consultation, based on your eye anatomy, prescription and how you want to see afterwards. Brand options include Alcon, Johnson & Johnson Tecnis, Zeiss and Rayner, and the lens is included in the listed price.
Implant lenses are used in both cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange. Compare premium options in detail on our trifocal IOL and EDOF lens pricing pages.

Our implant lens prices are fixed and all-inclusive, so there are no surprises. Each package covers:
- Your consultant ophthalmic surgeon’s fees for the operation
- The hospital and theatre fees for your day-case procedure
- Your chosen intraocular lens and all surgical consumables
- Biometry and measurements to calculate your lens power
- Local anaesthetic and the care team on the day
- All routine post-operative appointments and aftercare
The lens upgrade is included in the listed surgery price — the figure you see is the figure you pay for that lens tier.
Payment options
Payment terms depend on the clinic. Blue Fin Vision says flexible financing is available to spread the cost of cataract surgery, with personalised payment plans. Sapphire Eye Care offers the option to pay in instalments leading up to the procedure for certain treatments, so ask whether cataract surgery is one of them. Ask for the interest rate, any fees and the total repayable in writing before you agree to credit. See the payment options at each clinic on our finance page.
Using private medical insurance
When implant lenses are part of clinically indicated cataract surgery, the procedure is covered by most private medical insurers — you simply need pre-authorisation and a referral. Note that standard insurance usually funds a monofocal lens; if you choose a premium toric, EDOF, multifocal or trifocal lens, an upgrade fee may apply. See our guidance for insured patients for how to arrange cover.
