laser eye surgery discounts

How much does laser eye surgery cost?

My prescription is -5.00 in each eye. I’ve been given quotes by various laser eye surgery providers but I’ve heard they sometimes give you a discount if you ask, so I wonder if anyone could tell me how much surgery (with/out Wavefront, Intralase, etc) should cost at this prescription level.
Answers in £ sterling please.

Remember that the effects (positive or negative) of your laser eye surgery will be with you for the rest of your life. Some things in life that are worth negotiating the best price (airfare, real estate, cars, etc…) and some things are not worth cutting corners on. Viewed across the rest of your life, the difference you may pay today between one provider and another will pale in insignificance.

With a prescription like -5.00 in each eye, you may want to broaden your provider selection criteria to go beyond cost. If you’re on a budget, consider that most laser eye surgery can be financed today, and even the more expensive providers will offer interest free terms that can get the surgery down to the cost of a Starbucks a day.

Further, you may want to consider the best treatment for your prescription. Optional extras, such as wavefront and Intralase should in fact not be considered ‘options’ at all, but rather important aspects of your laser eye surgery (if you need them). If you’re surgeon suggests you will be better off with these ‘options’, it would be unwise to go against their recommendation in an effort to cut corners.
