Choosing your lens
Prefer a lens swap for glasses-independence rather than cataracts? See lens replacement cost per eye. Treating both eyes? See cataract surgery for both eyes.
Getting to your clinic from the Isle of Wight
We do not operate a clinic on the Island itself, so Isle of Wight patients are cared for at our nearest mainland partner clinics:
- Southampton — reached by Red Funnel or Red Jet from East Cowes and Cowes. See Southampton cataract surgery cost.
- Portsmouth — reached by Wightlink or Hovertravel from Ryde and Fishbourne. See Portsmouth cataract surgery cost.
Because you keep one named consultant throughout, most patients make only two or three mainland visits: consultation, surgery, and a review (some reviews can be arranged locally with your optometrist).
Paying for your surgery
- Self-pay: from £2,900 per eye, all-inclusive.
- 0% finance: spread the cost over 12 months from roughly £242/month — see 0% cataract finance.
- Insurance: Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, WPA and others — see insurance-covered cataract surgery.
