Step by step process...
Speak to your GP or Optometrist
For most hospital services you will need to be referred by your GP or Optometrist before you can be seen at any UK hospital. When your GP or Optometrist recommends that you need to see a specialist consultant, ask them to refer you to Midland Eye.
Book Your Consultation
Once you have a referral from your GP, you can then book an initial consultation directly with us at a time to suit you – this would cost between £100 and £230 depending on the type of consultation.
If you have a specific consultant in mind we can put you in contact with their secretary for their individual charges. If any tests are carried out at the initial consultation they will be charged in addition to the consultation fee.
Arrange a Treatment
If once you’ve had your initial outpatient appointment, your consultant recommends that you need some further tests or surgical treatment we will let you know exactly how much your initial treatment will cost before going ahead and then arrange a time convenient for you.
Pay for Treatment
Wherever possible we offer all-inclusive package prices to include treatment and a post-operative appointment. Costs not included are costs associated with unrelated medical conditions, additional treatment and further tests.
Payment Plans
Spread the Cost
Through our partner Chrysalis Finance we offer approved patients a range of funding options to pay for one-off private treatments.
This means you can spread the cost of your treatment using our 0% or APR finance options.
Interest Free
With our interest-free payment plan, you can focus on your treatment, not the cost, with no extra charges or hidden fees.
Long-Term Payment Plans
Get more time to enjoy life and less time worrying about how to pay, with treatment costs spread over 24 to 60 months.

Common questions
Here are some frequently asked questions from ophthalmic patients just like you.
You will need to complete a simple, online application, which one of our team can help you with. The information is transmitted to the lender immediately and a reply is usually received by return. You can then either sign a credit agreement.
You can borrow between £1,000 and £25,000. You must be over 18to apply, and you must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years.
A deposit is not required, but if you want to pay one and so reduce the amount you borrow, this is completely up to you.
This will depend on the amount you borrow and whether you pay a deposit. Our staff will show you, completely without obligation, the monthly repayments for your particular treatment.
The monthly payments are collected by Direct Debit.
Immediately – as soon as the credit agreement has been signed.
There is a statutory ‘cooling off’ period of 14 days after signature during which you can cancel the credit agreement with no cost to you. However, if you have started any treatment which would have been financed, you will have to make other arrangements to pay for it.
