Common questions:

Q/ Are your prices competitive?

A/ Yes. We have determined our prices as being about average for this industry.

Q/ Why does laser eye surgery cost this much?

A/ Don’t worry – we feel it too. The simple answer is: technology and quality control.

The best laser equipment is costly to buy and to maintain. The operating theatres must be made to strict safety standards. The laser technicians who assist us must be highly trained and constantly upskilled. We update software versions and laser hardware regularly and we only use laser technology that has achieved a world wide reputation for excellence. We do not believe in cutting corners, using second best technology or skimping on staff training and development. We provide an audiovisual suite for you to educate yourself with DVD's and reading material. Our staff can spend as long as you need to learn about the proceedure and satisfy yourself. You will always be seen by a doctor and not just by an assistant.

Q/ Is finance available?

A/ Yes. If you would prefer to pay off the surgery over time then we have arrangements with medical procedure finance companies to schedule payments. Note that your arrangements are with the finance company and not with us directly. For many patients it is the most affordable option and one that removes alot of the financial barriers.

Q/ Am I obligated to have surgery if I have an assessment visit?

A/ Of course not! If you do not want to proceed then there is no obligation to book in for the surgery.

Q/ Is it tax deductible?

A/ Possibly, depending on your circumstances. Ask your accountant.

Q/ What does lens implant surgery cost?

Some patients are not suitable for laser correction and will be better suited for lens implant surgery. The cost for this varies between $2400 and $3500 per eye and depends on what exactly you need to have done. This can only be determined after a consultation and examination by the doctor.
