Ultralase

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards Ultralase. From my initial consultation through to my discharge I have been treated with kindness and total professionalism. I cannot recommend Ultralase enough.

I was refused laser eye treatment at ultralase 3 and a half years ago due to having extrememly thin, steep corneas and an unusual prescription (-7, -7 myopia with +3.5 and +3.75 astigmatism) I was devastated but understood that it was in my best interest at the time. Then a year ago I was contacted by Ultralase who advised me to return for a 2nd consultation now that technology had moved on and could maybe make me now a suitable candidate. I am so pleased I acted upon this phonecall and I was told 3 weeks ago at my 2nd consultation with Ultralase that I was now indeed a suitable candidate for treatment. My treatment was 5 days ago and I am over the moon with the results. I was a borderline case and was extremely nervous about the whole matter due to this but I went ahead and am amazed at my eyesight now only 5 days on. Ultralase have been first class. I have been given great service, everyone is really friendly, helpful and they act with your best interests at heart. Thank you for providing me with the ability to see and for truly great service!! I have worn glasses for 23 years and it's a dream come true!!!! :o)))

I was worried about having the treatment but reassured by the consultation. I was warned of possible glare and halo effects due to my having large pupils, but haven't really noticed much difference. The benefits of not wearing glasses any more are fantastic - swimming, holidays, no more wiping glasses off in the rain or on cold days. It's the best money I've ever spent! I would recommend this treatment to anyone who is suitable. I found many scare stories on the web before I had my treatment but these seemed to be from people who should never have been treated in the first place. However, don't be fooled - the treatment itself is not painless, I had about 4 hours of discomfort after the treatment and about 2 weeks where my eyes were quite dry but this was no worse than wearing contact lenses. The benefits far outway the unpleasantness of the treatment and I wouldn't let it put you off!

I had my eyes lasered at the Chelmsford Ultralase clinic back in April of this year. My aunt had previously had her's done at the Birmingham clinic and my mum also at Chelmsford. I saw the difference the treatment had made to my mum and decided to go for a consultation myself. The staff at the clinic were fantastic, explaining exactly what the treatment would involve and the possible side effects. Once it had been confirmed that I was a suitable candidate, I desperately wanted to go ahead with the treatment. However, the problem was that I was at university in Birmingham and only home for a couple of weeks for the Easter holidays. When I explained this to the staff at the clinic, they created a special appointment, allowing me to have the surgery when it was convenient to me. They also booked my follow-up appointments for times when I was home. One of my major concerns about having the surgery was that I'm still only 22 and that my eyesight may deteriorate as I grow older. The doctors reassured me by informing me that I would be able to have surgery again in a few years time if this was the case. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and the service I received from the Chelmsford clinic. Whilst the operation was quite uncomfortable, it lasted only a few minutes and when I woke up the next morning my vision was near perfect and continued to improve over the next few days. Since my treatment, the difference it has made to my life has been brilliant. My motivation for having the operation was a charity trip to Malaysia that I'm about to partake in. I'm really looking forward to trekking through the jungle and scuba diving without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses. I would thoroughly recommend Ultralase to anyone who is considering having laser surgery. Every step of the way, the staff have been fantastic and the difference it has made to my life is unbelievable!

My sister had her eyes treated first and was so happy with the result that I decided to have mine done. This year, for the first time on holiday, I was able to swim in the sea and find my way back to my belongings on the beach. I was so enthusiatic that I encouraged my two short-sighted daughters to be treated. We all enjoy the freedom that not having to wear spectacles and contact lenses now brings. It really has changed all our lives! I found the treatment totally painless and I could see by the time I left the clinic. The whole procedure was explained fully and clearly and the aftercare was excellent. I totally recommend Ultralase!

I was encouraged to have treatmet by members of my family, but kept putting it offdue to being afraid - I am a very nervous patient. When my younger sister had her eyes succesfully treated I decided that if she could do it, so could I and I made an appointment at my local clinic. The staff where very informative and extremely kind.The care throughout the procedure was excellent, a nurse even held my hand, and I can honestly say that the procedure was not at all painful, and certainly nothing for me to have been worried about. I am absolutely delighted with the results. It's great not havng to mess around with lenses in the mornings and evenings and I had much more room in my holiday suitcase without my prescription sunglasses and various contact lens solutions! I am realy pleased that I have had the treatment and would encourage anyone who is a little nervous to go for it.

My choice of Ultralase was only made after some extensive research. I had intended to go to Bristol but due to their popularity it was very difficult to get an appointment. So?? Off to Cardiff I went!! From the moment I booked my appointment I was massively impressed with Ultralase. The person on the phone was very knowledgeable and I received confirmation of my appointment the next day. The day of the consultation went smoothly. I was there for 2 hours going from test-to-test and having the staff explaining in great and glorious detail what the treatment involved. It did not take much persuasion to "go for it". Less than 2 weeks later I was back for the big day. Was I nervous?? You betcha!! I was mostly worried about the creation of the corneal flap. I saw my surgeon first for a check of my prescription. Then - off I went!! A talk by one of the nurses explaining the aftercare. I explained my nervousness about the corneal flap - her response?? Hold my hand (was I ever pleased for that offer!!) The treatment was unbelievable. Quick! Painless! Almost immediate improvement!! 30 minutes and both eyes were done! That night my eyes felt quite grainy (like having dust in my eyes) - the next morning (12 hours later and?? I COULD SEE!! My checkup the next day showed that I had already had better than 20/20 vision!! Before the treatment I couldn't even make out the eye chart - now?? Brilliant. Would I recommend Ultralase? Certainly!! Why? Totally professional, sympathetic of a customer's worries, caring people and the treatment is second to none!! If you're going to do it - do it with Ultralase!!

I had my eyes lasered 3 weeks ago. I thought the staff were brilliant - even though there was a delay to the op. They talked me through every step of the way, the optician beforehand and whilst the op was carried out, I knew exactly what to expect and when. I couldn't believe how fast the whole procedure was. I now have really good vision and its great not having to put contacts into eyes that really don't want them any more. My glasses have gone to the third world already. If you are wondering whether to go for it - go for it (and have your eyes lasered as well!)

After many years of thinking about it, I finally had Wavefront guided Lasik at St Albans on the 5th August by Mr Gupta and can only wonder why it took me so long. From my first enquiry through to my aftercare, everyone at Ultralase has been incredibe professional, friendly and helpful. The treatment itself was not at all ucomfortable as I was expecting it to be, and the results have been incredible, far exceeding my expectations. I had a hugh improvement immediately and 20/20 vision the very next day, and suffered NO discomfort at all in the time following treatment. Having perfect eye sight is an incredible feeling and one I never thought I'd experience, I can't recommend Ultralase highly enough.

I turned up on the doorstep of Leeds Ultralase after Optimax cancelled my appointment by telephone 45 minutes before I was booked in (I was actually walking to the clinic from the railway station!). I was told that I had been booked in BY MISTAKE!!. Optimax apparently did not wish to treat me with LASEK due to my prescription (-7 and -8), however Ultralase has no problems with this and immediately gave me a full consultation. The staff were extremely professional and the clinic impressive. Everything seemed very high tech (they do wavefront at no extra cost and have iris recognition as standard). I would highly recommend Ultralase to anyone thinking of having laser treatment. You definitely get what you pay for and I could see why Ultralse were more expensive than Optimax as soon as I walked in to the clinic. There is no point in going for the cheapest clinic where your eyesight is at stake.
