What’s included in the price

Our wet-AMD injection packages are fixed and all-inclusive. Each £2,405 package covers:

  • Your consultant retina specialist’s fees for the assessment and procedure
  • OCT scanning to assess the macula in detail
  • The anti-VEGF injection or implant and all consumables
  • A follow-up review to check your response
  • A clear, written treatment plan for any ongoing course

The dry-AMD photobiomodulation session is £945, and the initial consultation with OCT is £340 — quoted separately so you only pay for what you need.

Payment options

Payment terms depend on the clinic. Sapphire Eye Care offers the option to pay in instalments leading up to the procedure for certain treatments, so ask whether retinal treatment is one of them. Blue Fin Vision says patient finance is available at its locations, subject to the applicable terms, so ask whether that covers retinal treatment. Get any payment arrangement in writing before you book. See the payment options at each clinic on our finance page.

Using private medical insurance

Wet-AMD anti-VEGF treatment is covered by most private medical insurers when it is clinically indicated — you simply need pre-authorisation and a referral. We work with all major insurers. See our guidance for insured patients for how to arrange cover.
