What the price includes

Precision Vision London says every price is all-inclusive: consultation, diagnostics, the procedure, aftercare and any enhancement in the first year. Precision Vision London lists its laser consultation as free, with a £100 holding fee that it refunds when you attend and meet its eligibility checks.

Is SMILE right for you?

Precision Vision London describes SMILE as a flapless option well suited to short-sightedness, and says your surgeon recommends LASIK, LASEK/TransPRK or SMILE for your prescription, corneal thickness and lifestyle at the consultation. As a guide, it says people aged 18 or over with a prescription stable for about 12 months and healthy eyes are often good candidates. It suggests an alternative for thin or irregular corneas (ICL), very high prescriptions beyond laser range, early cataract (lens replacement), and during pregnancy or breastfeeding, when a prescription can fluctuate.

The possible risks and side-effects it lists are temporary dry eyes or fluctuating vision while healing, glare, haloes or starbursts around lights that are usually short-lived, and occasionally an enhancement to fine-tune the result; as with any surgery, rarer complications are possible.

The lens-based alternative if you are over 45

Laser reshapes the cornea and does not treat presbyopia or prevent cataracts. Refractive lens exchange replaces the natural lens with an implant; Precision Vision London describes it as a permanent solution to presbyopia and a preventative against future cataracts. Precision Vision London lists lens replacement from £3,150 per eye for a monofocal lens, and Sapphire Eye Care lists refractive lens exchange from £4,300 per eye at its clinics in Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and Sussex. Compare lens replacement (RLE).
