ReLEx ® SMILE Consultation
Our ReLEx SMILE laser eye treatment is the most technically advanced option for people who want the latest and greatest vision correction option to treat any blurriness, astigmatism and short-sightedness.
When you have a private laser consultation with us, our specialists will conduct a number of eye tests in order to examine all the factors involved in correcting your eyesight. Prior to your appointment, we will advise that you do not wear soft contact lenses for two weeks. If you wear hard contact lenses we advise you to not to wear these for a minimum of two weeks (including a week for every decade you have worn hard contact lenses).
This is to ensure the cornea of your eye is ready for measurements to be taken accurately. Your laser specialist will then be able to offer the best possible course of treatment to correct your vision. Your first consultation will be an all inclusive cost of £200, with no obligation to have treatment if you wish to have some time to consider your options.
Need to talk to a specialist before booking a laser consultation? If you are unsure whether you are suitable for our ReLEx SMILE laser treatment, you can attend a suitability check with our laser specialist. They will talk you through your prescription history and the best treatment options we offer for vision correction.
ReLEx SMILE Treatment
On the day of your ReLEx SMILE surgery, we advise that you do not wear any makeup and be accompanied by a relative or friend who can assist you home afterwards.
When you arrive at your appointment, you will be shown into our private laser suite where our friendly nurses will talk you through the procedure.
You will be asked to stare at a green flashing light to hold your gaze in the correct place.
Our highly advanced visumax laser machine will slowly manoeuvre you into the exact position needed, so all you need to do is be still and at ease.
It will then make gentle contact with your eye which is completely painless, taking approximately 25 seconds per eye.
After this, you can sit up and begin to check out your new vision.
ReLEx SMILE Aftercare
There is nothing more important than our patients feeling comfortable after their ReLEx SMILE treatment which is why your dedicated laser specialist will check your eyes 1 day after your laser treatment.
Once they check your vision they will advise you to rest for 1 week before resuming any exercise, driving or strenuous activities.
Our team will always be at the end of a phone call throughout your recovery at home to answer any more questions you may have about your life after laser treatment. In your aftercare appointment, your ReLEx SMILE specialist will check the improvement of your vision and answer any other questions you may have before you can finally experience your new life without contact lenses and glasses!

Our 10 Most Important Benefits For ReLEx SMILE
Thinking about ReLEx SMILE ? It’s natural to have questions about what it can do for you. From vision improvements to advanced safety features, here are the key benefits and facts that will help you understand why more people than ever are choosing laser vision correction.
Smile laser eye surgery!
ReLEx SMILE laser treatment is a very minimally invasive type of laser eye surgery compared to other laser treatments. ReLEx Smile offers a bladeless alternative to LASIK and LASEK surgery, where a robotic system corrects the astigmatism in your eyes to see clearly in just 25 seconds. This modern treatment drastically reduces the recovery time from dry eyes in comparison to LASIK and other traditional refractive treatments.
Why is ReLEx SMILE the most advanced laser Treatment?
ReLEx SMILE is one of the latest innovations in laser eye surgery because it is a bladeless form of refractive eye surgery which can correct high degrees of short-sightedness, and is also suitable for patients with and without astigmatism. Our ReLEx Smile treatment is performed by our VisuMax laser technology which is uniquely advanced by being minimally invasive and highly individualised for every pair of eyes. Over 95% of patients will achieve the vision correction with just one ReLEx SMILE procedure. Following this, most of the remaining 5% will achieve the desired results with a second procedure.
How does ReLEx SMILE laser eye surgery compare to my glasses and contact lenses?
Many people don’t realize that it is now safer to have refractive laser surgery than to correct your vision with contact lenses. ReLEx SMILE is an autonomous laser treatment performed to bring the focus into a natural zone where no glasses or contact lenses are required for you to see clearly. Putting in and taking out plastic contact lenses is always a continuous risk to your sight and increases the chances of damaging your natural lens. By using disposable contact lenses everyday, a serious contact lens infection could lead to extreme vision loss. Everyday contact lenses are an ongoing purchase with an added risk of infection whereas ReLEx SMILE is a healthier investment for achieving clear, natural vision. For glasses wearers, you may find that frequent changes in your prescription can be frustrating and can act as a constant barrier when experiencing new hobbies, especially activities which require visual freedom (swimming, rock climbing, motorsports). ReLEx SMILE removes the need to keep purchasing glasses and removes the restrictions Glasses inevitably create. Having our ReLEx SMILE surgery means you can enjoy old and new activities again without any visual compromises!
How much does ReLEx SMILE Treatment cost?
Our ReLEx SMILE treatment costs £2,400 per eye (an all inclusive fee with your private consultation). We understand that having treatment can be a good investment for your eye health which is why we offer a 0% interest-free finance option to help you achieve the clear vision you want without the anxiety of costs.
Be the right treatment for you?
Yes, our ReLEx Smile laser eye surgery permanently corrects your vision and restores clear, natural vision. However, because our eyes naturally change when we become much older (45 onwards) you may find that you need another laser treatment to prevent yourself from needing reading glasses.
Do you offer finance options for ReLEx SMILE Laser Eye Surgery?
Yes. We do offer finance for ReLEx Smile laser eye surgery and because we know ReLEx smile is a great investment for achieving long-term sight, we offer a 0% interest free finance option for 24 months. Find out if you are eligible for our laser eye surgery finance.
Are there any requirements to do before my ReLEx SMILE treatment?
After coming to visit our laser specialist, we will give you clear instructions about the requirements you need to take before your treatment. We will ask that you do not wear any soft contact lenses 2 weeks before your laser consultation and your treatment day. If you wear hard contact lenses, we will ask you to not wear these for a minimum of 2 weeks. If you have worn hard contact lenses for more than 1 year we will require that you add 1 week for every decade you have worn hard contact lenses. For example, if you have worn hard contact lenses for 4 years, you will need to stop wearing them for 6 weeks (2 weeks minimum and 1 week for every decade). This will ensure your SMILE treatment is accurate and corrects the right measurements without any false measurements that contact lenses can unfortunately create.
Why do I need to remove my contact lenses before my laser consultation and before my treatment day?
We understand it can be difficult removing your contact lenses but as contact lenses distort the shape of your natural eye, it is best recommended to remove any contact lenses 2 weeks before your laser consultation, ready for your eye assessments. This will make sure any measurements taken from your eyes are perfectly measured to assess your suitability. For your treatment day our visumax laser can correct your vision precisely, providing your contact lenses are removed 2 weeks before your procedure day. Our laser specialist will clearly talk you through any requirements before your treatment and help you with any concerns you have about removing your contact lenses.
