The first Ultralase clinic was opened in January 1991 at the Clatterbridge Hospital near Chester. At the time, all treatments performed were Photorefractive Keratotomy, or PRK, until the Lasik procedure was introduced in 1995.

With the introduction of Lasik, and the clear advantages it demonstrated for certain patients, Ultralase went through a period of dramatic growth through 2002.

2003 Ultralase introduced the revolutionary UltraPlus treatment with Wavefront technology, giving patients visual outcomes far surpassing those of standard laser treatments. Ultralase became the first provider to have all treatment outcomes verified by independent audit.

In March 2009, the commitment to clinical excellence led Ultralase to become the first UK provider to have all Great Britain surgeons certified in Laser Refractive Surgery by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth).

Ultralase Prices

Ultralase comes in second place in our list of the best laser eye surgery clinics in the UK for price, just after Optical Express. That’s because this clinic offers the full shebang: transparent prices, 0% finance options, free consultations, and competitive prices.

The cost of eye surgery at Ultralase ranges between £1,1695 and £2,995 (per eye), depending on the treatment type that you agree upon in discussion with a surgeon. These prices are in line with the average cost of eye surgery, but not quite as low as Optical Express.

Treatments Offered

You can count on Ultralase for the main laser eye and lens replacement surgery procedures. These include: LASIK and LASEK with Wavefront options, as well as refractive lens exchange (RLE), implantable contact lenses, and cataract surgery.

Is Ultralase Right for You?

With nearly 3,000 overall positive reviews from independent customers in the UK, Ultralase is one of the best-rated laser eye surgery clinics by patients. People value this clinic for its:

  • Friendly prices – Fixed and reasonable prices help you know what to expect.
  • Nationwide clinics – Ultralase has 20 clinics in the UK, including in London, Reading and St Albans.
  • Decent aftercare – Ultralase provides free aftercare – one check-up and drops for the first three months.

Despite glowing reviews, however, it’s worth reading the fine print if you do choose Ultralase. In 2015, BBC’s Watchdog exposed the problems countless laser eye surgery patients have experienced accessing their lifelong aftercare.

This has been a very successful surgery. Thanks to all.

I could not fault any stage of the process. From the methodical identification of the required prescription through to the surgery and finally to the fantastic after-care, Eye Laser Ireland were worth every penny. Thoroughly recommended.

Bristol Clinic - Very kind & friendly staff, thorough discussion with the surgeon (although he contradicted early things said by Customer services / sales' staff). Opted for LASEK Wavefront because of night vision - I live in a rural area so need good night vision for driving - and SCUBA diving. Had op 4 weeks ago. They even negotiated on the price as I said I couldn't afford the full Wavefront price...and wouldn't risk the cheaper version after the full consultation about night vision effects. All aftercare was arrange at a local opticians to save me traveling. Vision is now perfect as long as I'm not too tired.

The consultation was good and I came out very confident. I am booked in for ultralasik treatment plus intralase wavefront with Dr Haribalos Erefethelos. Has anyone else been treated by him? Any feedback would be appreciated!!

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ultralase for surgery. I had Ultralasikplus with Intralase at the Liverpool clinic in September. Customer Service there is excellent, the staff make you feel very valuable as a customer, and the surgeon was very calming! Staff keep you informed at all times of the next stages on consultation day. Results are amazing, and I'm telling everyone to go and get it done!

I had PRK in my left eye in June and then in my right eye in August, performed by Vinod Gupta at Hammersmith. I have to say i couldn't be happier, Mr Gupta and the team have been so fantastic. I was on the table and ready to have Lasik when Mr Gupta said he couldn't go ahead with it as i had 'loose epithelium', my only option in my mind was to have PRK. I was never pushed into anything and was even given time in a spare office to go on the net to do research. I went home and thought very hard about what i wanted to do and decided to go ahead with PRK but only in one eye first. I had a few days of discomfort and the odd shooting pains but as soon as the bandage lens was taken out it felt great. I booked in for my right eye almost straight away! My vision is now better then 20/20, no glasses, no evil contact lenses! It really has been life changing! So to anyone considering laser surgey i can very very highly reccommend, Mr Gupta and his team at Hammersmith!!!

Had wavefront lasik with intralase at London clinics on Friday 10 August. Delighted with result so far. Ultralase are very thorough both with their documentation and consultation/briefing. There is no pain involved in the procedure but the pressure applied to the eye is very unpleasant and the whole thing quite unnerving. I chose Ultralase because they offer after care in Jersey where I live and I have not been disappointed. Very professional company, not the cheapest but what price your eyes?! I have only rated 4 for customer service because they mucked me about at the last minute by changing the clinic where I was to have the procedure even though I had specifically booked a hotel to the clinic I had originally chosen. Also I've only scored them a 4 for value for money because there are more reasonably priced companies. However, as said before, I do not think price should be a consideration because you get what you pay for!

Absolutely perfect. From my first phonecall to book my initial consultation to date, 2 months after surgery, the service has been outstanding. I had lasik intralase with wavefront at Hammersmith and couldn't be happier with the results. Not the cheapest laser eye clinic, but I decided from the outset that price should not be a factor for looking after your eyes. Recommended in a heartbeat.

I had Ultralasik plus with Intralase because I didn't want to take any chances with my eyesight. I went with Ultralase due to recommendation from a number of people who had used them and a few tales of woe from people who had gone elsewhere. Even though they are probably not the cheapest, I was not at all diappointed and feel I had value for money. The staff were really pleasant, went into great detail with me pre-op and happily answered all my questions, of which there were many. I had the treatment yesterday afternoon and within 24 hours I had better than 6/20 vision. Totally elated! My visions is improving still and the wavefront has drastically improved my night vision which was realy awful beforehand even with contact lenses.

I was seen at Liverpool Ultralase. The surgeon was fantastic and 1 week post op with Ultralasik and wavefront and intralase I can see better than 20-20. The only downside was that the customer service there was really poor - I have had appointments with the optometrist cancelled twice and had to travel a long way to alternative clinic in Manchester when I was concerned about my eye a few days post op (albeit at ultralase's expense). Ultralase are great but to be honest if I lived equidistant between Liverpool and Manchester clinics I would go to Manchester.
