*Terms and conditions

Valid until date stated on voucher which will be emailed to you (the referrer) upon completion of the online refer a friend form (your friend or family member must have booked a surgery date on or before this date to qualify for the Refer a Friend reward). The referrer will receive £100/€100 only once the person they have referred has completed surgery. The referrer will receive £1,000/€1,000 once they have referred a total of 10 patients who have all completed surgery. This payment of £1,000/€1,000 will supersede the normal £100/€100 reward for the 10th successful referral made by the referrer. Subsequent referrals 11 to 19 will receive a referral fee of £100/€100 each and the 20th referral will receive £1,000/€1,000, and so on. All referred patients must have received treatment after 30/09/2021 for the referrer to be eligible for the £1,000/€1,000 reward.

Payments are made via electronic bank transfer and will be sent by HSBC bank. We share your name, mobile telephone number and email address with HSBC in order for it to administer payments and this is done through HSBC's portal. Following a successful referral, you will receive an SMS message from Optical Express confirming that someone you recommended has undergone treatment and that you can now claim your referral fee. This SMS message will also include a unique registration code. You will then receive an email from HSBC containing instructions on how to claim your reward and asking you to register using the unique registration code received by SMS. You will be asked to provide bank details for the account you wish the referral reward to be paid into. Please see our privacy policy for more information about how we handle your personal data. You can also find out more about how HSBC handles personal data here.
