You Cannot Drive After Treatment
Your vision will be blurred for some hours after surgery, and after an assessment that uses dilating drops. Arrange a lift or travel with a companion.

Areas We Serve Across North East England
Laser Eye Surgery Newcastle helps people from across the North East find out whether LASIK, LASEK or PRK could reduce their reliance on glasses and contact lenses. Patients come to us from the coast, the cities, the market towns and the countryside, and each area page below looks at the questions people living there ask most.
Wherever you live, the process is the same: a free, no-obligation quote, a full eye assessment and a detailed written quotation. Appointment locations and aftercare are confirmed before you book.

How it works
How It Works Wherever You Live
Distance from Newcastle changes how you plan your travel, not the care you receive.

Send a few details through the form. A member of the team will be in touch to talk through your options.
Have Your Eyes Assessed
Detailed measurements show whether treatment is suitable and which procedure is recommended. You then receive a written quotation.
Treatment and Aftercare
If you decide to go ahead, treatment is a day procedure under numbing drops, followed by check-ups until your vision has settled.
Travel
Planning Travel to Your Appointments
Most people attend an assessment, the treatment day and several follow-up visits, so it helps to think about travel early.
Public Transport Works Well
The Metro, the East Coast Main Line, the Durham Coast line and the Tyne Valley line all run into Newcastle, and buses serve the towns without a station.
Every Location Is Confirmed in Advance
You will know where each appointment takes place before you book, so you can arrange time off and transport.
Treatments
Treatments Available to Patients in Every Area
All three procedures reshape the cornea to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. Your assessment decides which one suits your eyes.
LASIK Eye Surgery
A thin flap is created and replaced after reshaping, giving the quickest visual recovery.
LASEK Eye Surgery
A surface treatment without a deep flap, often suited to thinner corneas.
PRK Laser Eye Surgery
Flap-free treatment that is popular with people who play contact sports.
FAQs
Questions About the Areas We Cover
Do you have a clinic in my town?
These pages describe where our patients come from rather than clinic addresses. Where each appointment takes place is confirmed before you book, so you can decide whether the travel suits you.
My town is not listed. Can I still enquire?
Yes. These pages cover the places we hear from most often, but you are welcome to request a quote from anywhere in the North East.
Is the price different depending on where I live?
Your quotation is based on your eyes and the treatment recommended, not your postcode.
