Finance for laser eye surgery is arranged by the clinic that treats you, not by Eye Surgery Clinic. Among the clinic groups we work with, Blue Fin Vision offers laser eye surgery and says it offers flexible financing to spread the cost over several months, with personalised payment plans. Its prices start from £4,500 for both eyes for LASIK, PRK or LASEK, including your consultation, advanced imaging, surgery and follow-up. It does not publish an interest rate, a deposit or monthly figures.
How laser eye surgery finance works
Blue Fin Vision says flexible financing is available to spread the cost of laser eye surgery over several months, and asks patients to contact its team for a personalised payment plan tailored to their budget. Because the plan is set with you, there is no published monthly cost, interest rate or deposit to quote.
Financing that spreads the cost can mean paying after treatment, which may be a credit agreement. Before you agree, ask for these in writing:
- Is it credit? Whether you pay after treatment under a credit agreement, and if so, the name of the lender.
- What is the interest rate? The annual percentage rate, and whether it changes after an introductory period.
- What will I repay in total? The total amount repayable, not just the monthly figure, including any fees.
- Is there a deposit? How much, when it is due and whether it counts towards the price.
- What does the plan cover? The consultation, surgery on one or both eyes, and any later treatment.
Our guide to paying monthly for laser eye surgery covers deposits and credit checks, and our finance page summarises what each clinic group publishes about payment.

The NHS says the type of laser eye surgery or lens surgery that is suitable for you depends on factors such as your age and your eye health. If laser surgery is not suitable, lens-based treatments such as refractive lens exchange are priced differently; see our guide to paying for lens replacement surgery and our laser eye surgery cost comparison.
What happens during laser eye surgery
The NHS says that before laser eye surgery you should have a consultation with the surgeon about what will happen on the day, what aftercare you can expect and what to do if there are complications. It describes the surgery like this:
- It usually takes place in a hospital or at an eye clinic and takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
- You usually have a local anaesthetic in your eye, as drops or an injection; for some types of laser surgery you might need a general anaesthetic.
- The surgeon uses a laser to alter the shape of the outer layer of your eye, the cornea.
- If you need surgery on both eyes, you will usually have them both done on the same day.
Recovery, side effects and risks
The NHS says you can usually go home on the same day. It advises following the aftercare advice from your care team, using lubricant eye drops, wearing non-prescription sunglasses or goggles for a short while if advised, not driving home on the day of surgery and not driving at night until your eyes have recovered.
It says most people have some side effects, which normally improve within a few months, including glare, halos, floaters, starbursts and ghost images, blurred vision, sore eyes and red blotches on the white of the eye. Complications can include under-treatment or over-correction, needing a second operation such as laser surgery to fine-tune your focus, and permanent, serious loss of vision; your surgeon will explain the risks before the procedure.
