How Much is Laser Eye Surgery Worth to You?
Over the years, millions of people around the world have had their vision successfully corrected with the help of Laser Eye Surgery. But despite its place as the most commonly performed elective procedure, there are still many who are nervous about the prospect of such a treatment. Countless others may well be in a personal debate about whether or not it could be worth it for them.
And the fact is that it’s only normal to have such questions. After all, your vision is priceless, and you should always do everything possible to take the best possible care of it. But just as having regular eye tests can be crucial for maintaining your eye health, Laser Eye Surgery can offer life-changing results for better vision.
Moreover, the sad truth is that many Laser Eye Surgery fears are based not on facts or figures, but on persistent misinformation. Unfortunately, this means that many people write off Laser Eye Surgery before giving it the proper consideration it deserves.
Not only does this mean you could be depriving yourself of better vision, but you’re also tying yourself in for a lifetime of restrictions and irritations caused by glasses and contact lenses.
Making the Right Choice for You
When approaching major decisions about your health, like whether or not to have Laser Eye Surgery, it’s important to have all the reliable and empirically-based information you can find. That way, you can make an informed choice based on cold hard facts, rather than a snap decision based on doubt and fear.

So, let’s take a closer look at the cost of Laser Eye Surgery – and the cost of not considering it as a solution to your refractive error!
The Overlooked Cost of Glasses and Contact Lenses
We won’t beat around the bush here: Laser Eye Surgery is an expensive option when it comes to vision correction. However, few people ever stop to consider the true cost of wearing glasses or contact lenses – and we’re not just talking about money, either.
Glasses have been the go-to method of vision correction for hundreds of years. In this time, they have provided a great service to the countless people with all manner of refractive errors. However, as any glasses-wearer will attest, they are far from trouble-free! From steamed-up lenses to lost or broken frames, glasses certainly come with their costs to your convenience.
Then we have contact lenses. By offering a discrete alternative to the old-fashioned spectacles, contacts unsurprisingly became extremely popular on their introduction to the market in the mid-1900s – and remain so to this day! But again, these small plastic discs are not without their problems.
Wearing contact lenses daily can significantly increase your risk of contracting an eye infection. This risk increases again when wearing monthly contacts or when not following the manufacturer’s guidelines properly. And then you have to consider the hassle of the application and hygiene routines!
But of course, financial cost is also an important consideration when choosing the best method of vision correction for you. Which is why you might be surprised to learn that the cost of Laser Eye Surgery could offer better value than glasses and contact lenses in the long run!
Clear and Unhindered Vision is Priceless
It’s easy to get bogged down in sensationalist stories when it comes to Laser Eye Surgery. But a little research, as well as a conversation with someone who has had the procedure, can be invaluable in your decision-making process. This can include scouring independent review sites for honest and transparent insights into patient experiences. (You can see over 2,000 independent reviews of London Vision Clinic on Trustpilot!).
But our results also speak for themselves. With the vast majority of our patients able to achieve 20/20 vision, we have helped countless people enjoy clear and unhindered vision. But don’t just take our word for it; take a look at our results and statistics for yourself!
Of course, it is important to remember that your expected outcomes will depend on a number of factors. This can include your age, the health of your eyes, and the severity of your prescription. Nonetheless, with access to world-renowned surgeons and the latest technology, we are often able to treat patients who have been found unsuitable by other clinics.
For those who have been previously hindered by glasses or contact lenses, the results of Laser Eye Surgery can be life-changing. Imagine waking up without scurrying around to plonk on a pair of uncomfortable glasses. Or heading to the gym without first putting in irritating contacts. Or going swimming and taking part in a whole range of sports you’ve long avoided.
Of course, Laser Eye Surgery comes at a cost. But the question is: Is it worth it to you? Tens of millions of people around the world have decided that it is.
