How does Optical Express refer-a-friend work?

An existing Optical Express patient shares a referral code with someone new. When the new person books and attends a consultation, they may receive up to £300 off their treatment if Optical Express accepts the referral and the treatment qualifies.

Do I need to know someone who has had treatment?

Normally yes — the programme requires a referral from an existing patient. Our service exists because we are an existing patient sharing our referral code so you don't need to find one yourself.

Will I definitely get £300 off?

No. The discount is not guaranteed. Optical Express decides whether the referral is accepted and whether the discount applies to your specific treatment. The amount and terms may change at any time.

What's in it for the referrer?

Optical Express's programme rewards referrers for successful referrals. We are transparent about this — sharing the referral code benefits both you (a potential discount) and us (a potential referral reward from Optical Express). The reward is paid by Optical Express, not by you.

Is there any obligation if I request a voucher?

None. Requesting a voucher is free and does not commit you to anything. You decide if and when to book a consultation with Optical Express.

Optical Express Refer a Friend — What You Should Know Before Requesting a Voucher

Optical Express offers a refer-a-friend programme where existing patients can share a referral code with new customers. If you're considering laser eye surgery and want to understand how the programme works, what to expect, and what caveats to be aware of, this page covers everything honestly.

How the Refer-a-Friend Programme Works

The basic mechanics are simple: an existing Optical Express patient gives their referral code to someone new. The new customer presents the code when booking or attending a consultation. If Optical Express accepts the referral and the recommended treatment qualifies, a discount of up to £300 may be applied.

The programme is designed by Optical Express to encourage word-of-mouth. The referrer may receive a reward from Optical Express for successful referrals — this is paid by Optical Express, not by you.

Why We Built This Service

The refer-a-friend programme requires a code from an existing patient. If you don't know anyone who has had treatment at Optical Express, you can't access the potential discount.

We're an existing patient who built this website so anyone considering Optical Express can easily request a referral code. We want to be transparent:

We are not Optical Express and have no affiliation with them.
We benefit from the referral programme — Optical Express may reward us for successful referrals.
You benefit by potentially receiving a discount — though this is not guaranteed.
We cannot control whether Optical Express accepts the referral or applies the discount.

What You Should Know Before Requesting

The discount is not guaranteed. Optical Express decides whether to accept the referral and whether your recommended treatment qualifies. We share the code in good faith, but the outcome is up to them.

Terms can change at any time. Optical Express may modify the discount amount, eligible treatments, or programme rules without notice. What applies today may not apply tomorrow.

The consultation is free. Booking a consultation with Optical Express costs nothing and carries no obligation. If the referral discount doesn't apply, you can still use the consultation to learn about your options.

We don't provide medical advice. Any treatment decisions should be made with qualified eye care professionals at Optical Express.

What Happens After You Submit?

1We'll email you a confirmation with your referral voucher code, usually within 24 hours.
2Contact Optical Express directly to book a free, no-obligation consultation at a clinic near you.
3Mention the referral code when booking or present it at your appointment.
4The clinic will confirm whether the discount applies to your recommended treatment. The discount is not confirmed until Optical Express accepts the voucher.

Before Your Consultation

If you decide to book a consultation with Optical Express, here are a few things to keep in mind:

✓Have your referral voucher code ready — mention it when booking or bring it to your appointment.
✓The consultation is free and carries no obligation to proceed with treatment.
✓Ask the clinic to confirm the referral discount applies to your recommended treatment before committing.
✓Bring your current glasses or contact lens prescription if you have one.
✓Prepare any questions about the procedure, recovery, and costs so you feel fully informed.
✓Remember that treatment decisions should be made with your clinician — we do not provide medical advice.

Voucher Eligibility Caveats

The discount of up to £300 is not guaranteed — acceptance is controlled entirely by Optical Express.
Eligibility depends on the treatment recommended at your consultation. Not all treatments may qualify.
Optical Express may change the referral programme terms, discount amount, or eligible treatments at any time.
The voucher typically cannot be combined with other promotions unless Optical Express permits it.
This is an independent service. We provide the referral code in good faith but cannot guarantee its acceptance.
