Ultralase

I was treated at the Bristol clinic in July 2002 and I have just had my 6 month check-up and been signed off. Can't recommend the place enough - staff, clinic, treatment and aftercare were all excellent. My first impressions were very good and this had a greatly reassuring effect. The relaxed atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff was extremely important. I was advised about possible problems with dry eyes; a problem that I already had before treatment due to prolong wearing of contact lenses. The opticians were very thorough in their explanation and when I rang back for further information, they were able to answer my questions quickly. Having decided to go ahead with treatment, the side effects as explained to me, were spot on. I'm still using artificial tears but that's because of the air-conditioning at work!! At home or on the weekends, I don't feel the need to administer the drops. If you go for a consultation, my advice is to take someone with you. Although they give you a pack to take away, they do explain an awful lot of things and it's hard to take it all in. Be prepared to have to spend a long time at the clinic.

I am thinking about getting this done in Leeds after 19 years of contact lens wearing. Anybody with positive / negative comments about the clinic in Leeds??? Contact me either way

I had laser eye treatment four years ago for long sight and would recommend it to anybody. The results have been amazing and I am still very happy with the results. I chose Ultralase as a result of a friend of mine recommended them - she was also pleased with her new freedom without glasses. I found Ultralase staff to be very friendly and relaxed. They were very professional and kept me informed all the way through the consultation and treatment. I have since recommended the treatment to my sister and brother-in-law and who are now pleased with their results. Thank you Ultralase for changing my life.

The procedure is very quick and the results are fantastic. I am so pleased that I had the treatment, it has made such a difference to me. It has given me a sense of freedom.

From initial enquiry through to continued aftercare the staff of Ultralase at St Albans have been first rate. Always polite, friendly and professional and always seemed to be up to date with my details whenever I arrive for an aftercare appointment. It feels as if I am part of the 'family'. What better comment can I make! Having had my treatment in November (with Mr Vinod Gupta) I must say that the result is great. My right eye is absolutely perfect and the left has a little long sightedness. Together they perform perfectly with no correction. I did have an imbalance prior to treatment so this is not as a direct consequence of the surgery. The only downside that I have found is that I am experiencing light sensitivity for much longer than expected. It is improving week by week and is not a real handicap anymore. The clinic staff have been great during this period supporting me with extra aftercare checks whenever I need them. I would, and indeed have, recommended them to others. (My sister in law recently underwent treatment with great success.) First class Ultralase. Should have done it years ago! Thank you.

Having found this site very useful in my researches I though I owed it to your other readers to add my comments. I had my eyes "done" four weeks ago at the Leeds Clinic, by Gilbert Cohen. I thought Ultralase, although expensive in comparison with other clinics had the best feedback. I am very pleased with the results I have had so far. My distance vision is perfect, although being very old, 51, I have had to adjust to reading glasses all the time rather than the bonus of being short sighted, having only to have my sight corrected for reading when wearing glasses; no more reading in bed without glasses. I was very well prepared for this by the Ultralase consultation, and for something I had not considered, having to struggle to put make up on. Its now rather aim vaguely in the right direction and hope for the best. Older female customers beware, a good magnifying mirror and bright daylight helps. The day itself was a bit frightening, my only gripe was that I waited patiently for about an hour past my appointment time before I commented that I might have been forgotten ( as those of you who have been through this the temptation was to keep quiet and hope it would all go away) After that everything happened at the speed of light and within what seemed like minutes the whole process was over and I was on my way home. It was not painful but bizarre, the smell of burning you are warned about is as though your whole head is ablaze. I can honestly say that the journey home, husband driving was the worst. He was driving into the sun for forty minutes and believe me the dark glasses did nothing to ease the discomfort; at one point I had a car rug wrapped around my head, so I must have looked like a hostage or a master criminal leaving the Old Bailey. After about two hours I was watching TV with no problems, and the eye shields are not so bad. I can now wear make up, or at least I think I am.

Too happy after getting it done. Thanks to Dr.kasu prasad reddy.hyderabad

After much consideration I had the treatment at the Manchester clinic on Thurs 27th March. At the consultation I was described as borderline but deemed sutiable for treatment (+4.50 L & +6.00 R both with astigmatism). No doubt about it, it is a big decision. Now nearly three weeks on I'm well pleased with the result. During the two week period of wearing clear lenses it was weird because it felt exactly the same as wearing glasses everthing looked more or less the same, except you had to remind yourself this is without a prescription. After one week I was able to drive, being above the MOT driving standard unaided. For reading purposes when required I use an off the shelf pair of glasses (+1.25). It is not a suprise or a problem as I was advised of this at the consultation and also they would take around four weeks to settle down. The professionalism throughout I found faultless and the whole process was made that much easier with the pleasant and positive manner of all the staff. Writing this is easier than reading the testimonials, which is probably why you are reading them, exactly as I did and for the same reasons. There is only one person who can make the decision and you know who it is, be comfortaable with it whatever you decide.

I was very, very nervous about the procedure but actually found it painless & quick (more pleasant experience than going to the dentist!). I was very well looked after. Staff were very professional & put me at ease. There was no pressure to go through with the procedure.. I now have 20/20 vision and I am enjoying fantastic freedom from glasses & contact lenses. I would recommend Ultralase to anyone.

I had my eyes treated at Ultralase in October 2002. I was quite nervous prior to having the treatment but was put at ease straight away by members of staff in the Leeds Clinic. I actually felt fairly relaxed whilst having the treatment as I was told step by step what was happening. I couldn’t believe how clear everything was the next day. Life is fantastic without the nuisance of taking contact lenses in and out! Really glad I chose Ultralase as they have been very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. The aftercare is second to none.
