    I had my eyes done recently and while at a follow up I enquires about a friend of mine who is -10ish in both eyes. I was told they can go to -12 I think but that they do one eye at a time! You should ring and ask! When I initially rang about a consultation I was given my price over the phone! Hope this helps


    That's really helpful. I will look into it. Thanks!

    So I went about my initial consultation with Optilase and I feel like I was quoted really high, I'm looking for some guidance here. Here is the quote I received:

    Total cost: €4,460
    15% insurance taken off: €3,790
    €100 RAF: €3,690 (from sportsfan90)

    I was expecting around the €3,000 mark so would like to know if anyone has had any different quote numbers recently from Optilase?

    Thanks!

    I paid €3500 in 2009 without any insurance so I’d say that’s right now over 10 years later.

    Optilaise aren't the only ones in Ireland that do it . Have you tried other places . If you took a cancellation date with Optilaise they would do it cheaper .
    Personally I found Optilaise was like a laser eye assembly line. . Place was packed and you were not left upstairs to the clinic until you paid in full.
    We ended up cancelling and going elsewhere.

    No, not after the initial consultation, and most definitely not after the procedure itself.

    Why cant you drive after the initial consultation, do they do something to your eyes during it? And for how many hours can you not drive?

    They give you drops to dilate your pupils. Get blurred vision afterwards. Hard to read your phone/look at TV.
    I didn't drive till next day.

    Ah right, didnt know that, thanks. Do they tell you not to drive until the next day or can you drive some hours later?

    From my confirmation email.
    During the consultation, which will take approximately one hour, your Optometrist will use some dilating drops on your eyes which will leave your vision blurry and sensitive to light for around 8hrs. For this reason, we recommend that you avoid driving during this period. Although you can still continue your day as normal, computer work and reading may be difficult. You may also need a pair of sunglasses after your appointment to help with any sensitivity to light.

    Thats surely a question for Optilase? When is your follow up appointment?

    My experience was a bit of fuzziness was normal for a few days while the eyes were healing but I would encourage you to call Optilase if you are concerned. You have your usual post op appointments but if necessary, they will schedule another appointment to ensure everything is ok!

    Hello. I got a call back from Optilase and they quoted me 3790e straight without initial consultation on the phone. Does anyone know what is this quote based on? They haven’t even seen me yet.
    Could anyone send me a referral code please?

    I got LASIK last July in Optilase in Cork. I was absolutely terrified - fainted at the consultation so wasn't sure if I'd actually be able to go through with it.
    It was the best thing I've ever done! I've had glasses for about 16 years and to be free of them and contact lenses at last was amazing.
    I found optilase great to deal with - aftercare is excellent too.

    Feel free to message me if you're looking for information or PM me for a code. I haven't been able to give it to anyone yet!
