    Hi all,

    After some serious thought and tonnes of research I decided to take the plunge and go for a consultation for Laser Eye surgery. I chose the Mater Private, had my consultation yesterday and was recommended that I undergo Lasik. I realise that your eyesight is priceless and you get what you pay for but was really surprised by the price I was quoted. Its going to cost 2094 per eye, 760 for the Consultants fee and another 1334 for the hospitals fee which brings the surgery to a total of 6282. I am still planning to go with The Mater Private but will just have to put the surgery on hold as I have about 2000 more to pay than I expected. It really boggles me how some places can charge so little for the same procedure. Any one any thoughts?

    I think you've got your numbers wrong, it comes out at about 4200 from them, it's 760 for the Dr. for each op and 1334 goes to the hospital for each op = 2094 multiplied by 2 + whatever you paid for the consultation.

    That seems right and the Blackrock clinic charges €2200 per eye. See here. My brother had it done there a few years ago and he was delighted with the results. Don't forget op you may also be entitled to tax relief on the cost.

    Jesus that is expensive. I am getting LASIK in the morning and the price is half that (Optilase) also checked out Wellington and Optical Express and all came in around the 1.5k per eye!! I am sure the Mater are good but that sounds very expensive. :eek:

    You've got the prices WRONG!
    The cost is €2049 per eye, which is made up of €760 + €1334
    so the total cost is
    consult 100
    1st eye 2049
    2nd eye 2049

    total: 4198
