Ultralase

Excellent after care, very knowledgeable and proffessional consultants, superb surgeon!

I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED BY THE RESULTS ACHIEVED. I ALWAYS THOUGHT PEOPLE EXAGGERATED SAYING IT WAS A LIFE CHANGING PROCEDURE, BUT NOW I FEEL THAT IT DEFINITELY IS.

Had consultancy at 20/20 on Tottenham Ct Rd and treatment at Hammersmith. Results as I had hoped for which was perfect sight but every other elemnet such as appointments,information and quality of service made me feel comfortable and confident.I have no hesitation in recommending Ultralase.

I have just read the comment made by Joanne Sargood about the treatment she received from Ultralase at Chelmsford. I have just had mine done 10 days ago and everything was great and i couldn't have asked for a better company and group of staff who helped me. After reading your comments i can understand why you feel like this, but in the end if the surgeon feels strong enough not to treat you then he did that with only his best intensions and for the sake of you. After all they do tell you that on the day if it is decided you are not suitable they won't treat you. Unlike other clinics who may treat anybody Ultralase do not. I would have thought this was a good point and a good reason for choosing them. If you have now had it done elsewhere and all is ok then good for you, but you cannot blame or complain about Ultralase for not treating you if thats what they felt was best. If they had told you no and still done it and it went wrong i wonder what else you would be saying now? I know its easy for me to say this because everything went so well with my treatment and the staff at Chelmsford were great. Anyway i hope your sight is Ok and you can have many years of seeing without the use of glasses etc. Take care.

Had my treatment on the 10th May with Ultralase and all I can say is .... Waw. As far as the treatment day was concerned, my appointment was scheduled with Paul Cherry in Cardiff at 10.30am. Got there at 10.00 and I was very surprised that I was totally unphased about the procedure and what was about to happen to me. I had done my homework and research on Mr. Cherry and given that he has performed over 7,000 Lasik procedures and was well versed and respected in his field I approached the treatment day with an open and easy mind (a bit like putting your trust in a pilot when your half way down a runway). I appreciate that everyone feels different about this but thats the way I approached it. As far as the treatment is concerned, it all went as described to me during my consultation. I was met by Mr. Cherry first and he took me through the consent form ensuring I fully understood what I was signing up to, he then checked my prescription and cornea thickness to enusre they were the same as were taken during the consultation. I then went through to the pre treatment room where I was given a "goody bag" containing 3 different types of drops, a set of very becoming eye shields for sleep time, some tape for securing the shields, and written instructions of how and when to administer the drops. The very nice lady then applied the anaesthetic drops (which worked immediately) and she took me through to the treatment room where Mr. Cherry was waiting with 2 assistants (and the pre treatment lady held my hand all the time). Up onto the bed, head on the cushion and 15 minutes later I was lead into the recovery room with not a hint of pain whatsoever. Some people have commented on other forums about the clamp being uncomfortable and the saline solution being unpleasant when they flush the eye before replacing the flap but the mind plays funny games and if you think that is what is going to happen then it probably will. The best advice I can give in terms of recovery is get as much shut eye as you can after the procedure. I was back home by 12.30 (father drove), put the cd player on random, closed the curtains, set the alarm on my mobile and fell asleep. Mobile woke me after an hour, applied the drops as directed, set the alarm for another 2 hours, applied the drops again and fell back to sleep. The eyes were a little gritty and sore until about 6pm but I can honestly say that after that I didnt have any major discomfort. Sight was a little blurry for 2-3 hours (which is to be expected) but woke up the next morning, removed those gorgeous eye shields and ...... waw, thought I had my glasses on! Went back for my check up and read 1 line from the bottom of the chart. My prescription pre treatment was -1.25 and -1.50 and here I was 1 day after with better than 20 20 vision. It's still early days but at the moment I'm sat here with no pain, no blurring, and I keep taking my clear lens protective glasses off constantly to prove to myself that there's no prescription between me and what I'm looking at ..... Why didn't I do this years ago! I appreciate that everyone is different and the decision to go ahead with this treatment is a personal one, all I can say is that my experience with Ultralase was first class and their team in Cardiff were very professional.

I couldn't recommend this surgery enough. I was made at ease from the beginning. All the staff were professional and made me confident that I was in safe hands. Now I can see better than I could with my glasses.

I just had my second eye treated by the LCRS (One diamond surgery, one lens implant). Before the treatment I went around some of the laser clinics, and they all offered me what they had, he same for both eyes (I am a bit unusual to have such a difference between the two eyes). Anyway, at the LCRS I felt that it was my choice, rather then being sold something. Both treatment went well and now, "good-bye contacts", Hurray! I will recommend them to my firends.

It is fantastic not to have to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore, I am so glad I went ahead with the treatment. The nurses were very reassuring and kept you imformed at each stage. My vision is excellent now.

Fantastic service from start to finish - highly professional and worth every penny. At all stages, the advice was spot on + attentive, and gave me real confidence. I was certainly not tempted to risk my eyes on a cheaper alternative and know that I went with the best one on the market - it certainly pays to do your homework in this respect. My eyes are now 'better' than 20:20 vision - unbelievable...I'm still pinching myself that it's happened!

I had been considering laser surgery for a few years and after finding that I was suitable I decided to go for it! I was really nervous but the staff at Hammersmith Ultralase were very friendly and reassuring. My prescription was -5 in one eye and -6 in the other so I was quite blind! The treatment was not as bad as I had anticipated- infact I was dreading it! The nurse talked me through the procedure which was really good to know whats going on and that everything that was happening was normal. My vision was very blurry immediately afterwards but I could still see a definate improvement. The next day I could see really well and actually went shopping! I had my eyes tested a week later and I already had 20/20 vision! I would recommend anyone who is thinking about having their eyes done to go for it! I have worn glasses since I was four and this has already made such a difference to me! What can I say - Have it done today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
