PRK typically costs £800–£2,000 per eye in the UK in 2026. PRK and LASEK are surface laser treatments that reshape the cornea without creating a flap.
How much does PRK cost in the UK?
As a 2026 guide, PRK usually costs £800–£2,000 per eye, or roughly £1,600–£4,000 for both eyes. Premium wavefront-guided or bladeless treatments sit at the higher end. Most clinics quote a single price including your pre-operative scans and consultation, the laser treatment, and follow-up appointments — and offer 0% finance over 12–24 months.

Is PRK right for you?
PRK/LASEK is a flap-free surface treatment often recommended for thinner corneas, certain prescriptions or higher-risk lifestyles. Healing takes a little longer than LASIK, with vision settling over one to two weeks.
The lens-based alternative if you are over 45
Laser reshapes the cornea and does not stop presbyopia or future cataracts. If you are over 45, refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens with a multifocal implant — correcting distance, intermediate and near vision and preventing future cataracts. It is consultant-led at our South England clinics from £4,300 per eye. Compare lens replacement (RLE).
