Fees: Self-Pay and Insurance

PLEASE NOTE:

We are not taking on any new BUPA or AXA patients

The fees stipulated by BUPA and AXA unfortunately do not reflect the time and expertise required to deliver optimum care and outcomes. As a result, an increasing number of doctors across various specialties are no longer willing to treat their customers.

BUPA or AXA customers often still choose to be seen and treated by Mr Turnbull, but on a self-funding basis.

 

*  We happily accept patients from most other private medical insurers *

For any procedures not listed, please contact info@southcoastvision.co.uk for details.

 

*Unlike most providers, with South Coast Vision there is no extra cost for astigmatism-correcting toric monofocal lens implants when having cataract surgery on a self-pay basis. Enhanced monofocal lenses (if required) are also included in the standard fee.

 

Astigmatism is a common problem and should be corrected when necessary. There are anatomical thresholds for the use of toric lenses and it is about finding the "best fit" for your eyes based on precise measurements. It would not be fair to charge extra just because your eye is a certain shape - that would be like having to pay more for shoes depending on your shoe size!
