Anyone had laser eye surgery done locally?

I'm thinking of giving it a go, but would prefer not to have to go the centre of town to have it done. Would be brilliant to have it done locally or towards Bromley way. Has anyone had it done locally?


Failing that, has anyone had it done and could recommend their surgeon?


Many thanks.

Hello Sarahew,


I had it done on Tuesday morning and here I sit, typing without glasses for the first time in over 10 years. I cannot recommend my surgeon highly enough. Mr Carp at the London Vision Clinic, here:

The whole process was stress free. Their tests are very thorough and take hours. The actual surgery only takes 20 minutes. It isn't painful but it is uncomfortable (on a par with a bikini wax). They sent me home with painkillers and sleeping pills but I didn't need them. Excellent customer service; they can't do enough for you. Wish I'd done it years ago - don't wait.

Thanks Giggirl. The London Vision Clinic is supposed to be very good isn't it? And expensive. Would you mind if I asked how much it cost?


Really glad to hear you've had such a good experience. That's what I'm hoping for.


I'm also wondering if I'm too old, at 42, and I might start to need reading glasses anyway. Maybe I should do it anyway. I hate wearing glasses, always have, and i can't get on with contacts.

I paid ?4,800. I may have paid less if I'd shopped around but to be honest price wasn't a factor; I wanted the best clinic and I think they are.


I did a lot of online research at the beginning of the year, but I can't tell you how the price compares with other services I'm afraid.


If you are serious about getting it done and want to have a chat and a cuppa with someone who's been there, then feel free to PM me and I'll happily meet up.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
