How much does the treatment cost?

We offer the option of paying for the procedure monthly, from your nominated bank account. We also accept payment by all major credit & debit cards.

Fully Inclusive Ongoing Eyecare
Following the initial pre-fitting assessments & fitting appointments (see next section), the remaining treatment & lens costs can be spread out from £30 per month (depending on lens type fitted).

We can supply all disinfecting and soaking solutions to you in addition to the lenses and eyecare as part of your monthly payment program. Some clients need additional protein removal products - these are not included in the payment program and can be bought just as necessary.

If you choose not to buy the solutions on a monthly payment program, they can be bought by yourself, as required. You do, however receive 10% off the normal RRP on solution costs if purchased outright at Querido & Davidson.

Initial Pre-Fitting Assessment Fees
Fitting is performed in 3 stages. If, during the initial assessment period, you are found not to be suitable for treatment, or you decided not to continue, you will only be expected to pay the initial assessment examination & fitting fees, pro-rata, as applicable, as shown (correct at 1st January 2011 & subject to change):

Full Eye Examination £53.00 (£27.00 for NHS eligible patients)
Suitability examination & Corneal Topography £45.00
Fitting Appointments £100 (Nocturnalens Paragon CRT & OrthoK) £200 (iGo OVC)

Ongoing Cost, Post-Fitting
Following fitting, you will be put onto a direct debit to pay for your lenses and ongoing eyecare. This is from £30 per month (depending on lens type), and includes all future eyecare and examinations until termination. Alternatively you may purchase one pair of lenses outright (this applies to Paragon CRT lenses only).

After the initial fitting is completed, you will need to attend for a 6 monthly check up on your eyes & orthokeratology lenses, and also for full eye examinations usually once every 2 years (unless advised otherwise due to medical reasons). It is best to remain on a continual monthly payment scheme so that we can provide you with new lenses at least once per year automatically.
