The NHS only allows for treatment of eye conditions, which if left untreated, can result in loss of vision and even blindness. Conditions such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism can be successfully treated by other options such as wearing eye glasses or contacts, so you will not be offered free treatment on the NHS.
This makes private clinics the only option for anyone seeking to have laser eye surgery to correct refractive errors that are not covered by NHS. Carefully considering the benefits of surgery against your current method of vision correction is a great place to get started and kick off your journey towards greater vision.
Many clinics also offer free consultations where your eyes will be thoroughly assessed and the treatment that is more suitable for you recommended.
