I guess you are asking whether FSDalk is worth £13798 more than two operations on the NHS. Well, it isn't my money so I really cannot answer that question. I think I'd be inclined to ask an NHS ophthalmologist before forming my final judgement.

You seem to be assuming that there aren't any corneal surgeons who do DALKs using a Femtosecond laser on the NHS. Do you know whether that's actually true? I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Good luck, whatever you decide.
