As us about our Out Of Town Offer

Visiting us from out of town?

We offer an easy way to take advantage of professional eye care for our out of town patients

You deserve the best, wherever you are

Take advantage of our laser eye surgery Out of Town Offer, designed to make accessing our world-class, Auckland and Wellington facilities as simple as possible for patients visiting for treatment.

Eye Institute has been providing quality care to patients from across New Zealand and internationally for over 30 years.

When visiting from out of town for laser eye surgery, you will need to spend the night of surgery locally, and return the next day for your post op check, before you are then free to return back home and enjoy your great new vision.

To help make this nice and easy, we offer our $300 Out of Town Offer which is deducted from the cost of your treatment.

After your treatment and post op appointment in Auckland or Wellington, any following check ups can be with your local optometrist for your convenience.

Short on time? Not to worry. For out of town patients, where possible we offer a ‘Fast-Track’ option where your suitability assessment and surgery is scheduled for the same day, with your post op check the following day.

With this fast-track service, if at your assessment you are confirmed to be suitable for Laser Eye Surgery, you will proceed with surgery that day, returning to the clinic the following day for your post operative check. Mention this at the time of booking to discuss if this could be an option for you.

Please contact our friendly team on 0800 99 2020 to find out if you are eligible.
