Monovision laser eye surgery costs from £2,400 per eye — £4,800 for both eyes — in the UK in 2026, all-inclusive of consultation, pre-op scans, the laser treatment, aftercare and follow-up. Monovision (sometimes called blended vision) sets your dominant eye for distance and your other eye for near, so most people can read a menu and see across a room without reaching for glasses. There is no extra charge for the monovision technique over standard laser eye surgery — the price depends on the laser platform chosen, and 0% finance is available.
What is monovision laser eye surgery?
From your mid-forties, presbyopia sets in: the eye's natural lens stiffens and near focus becomes difficult, which is why reading glasses become necessary. Monovision laser surgery addresses this by deliberately correcting your two eyes for different distances — the dominant eye for distance and the non-dominant eye for near. Your brain learns to use whichever eye gives the clearer image, reducing dependence on glasses for everyday tasks.
Monovision can be created using LASIK, LASEK/PRK, or the refined PRESBYOND laser blended vision platform, which creates a smoother "blend zone" between the eyes that many patients find easier to adapt to than traditional monovision.

Techniques & prices compared
Monovision is a way of targeting your correction, applied through one of these laser techniques. Your surgeon recommends the best fit for your eyes and lifestyle.
If you are over 50 or have an early cataract, your surgeon may discuss refractive lens exchange as an alternative to laser monovision. For a wider price comparison across all laser methods, see our LASIK cost guide and laser eye surgery cost guide.

Who is suitable — and can I try it first?
Monovision suits many people over 45 who want freedom from reading glasses, with a stable prescription and healthy eyes. Because adapting to monovision is partly a matter of how your brain adjusts, most surgeons recommend a contact lens trial first to check you tolerate it comfortably before committing to surgery. Not everyone adapts, and your surgeon will discuss alternatives if monovision is not the best fit.
