Almost(!) painless-after wearing glasses for about 25 years a new window had been opened. Very good Staff, very good after care very worthwhile ...Read more

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.

The service and all the staff were brilliant. Everything you need to know is explained and the treatment itself was painless and quick. It has made my life so much easier both at work (in an office using a computer etc) and at home. We have had a wonderful holiday and for the first time could sunbath without getting a headache, swim and snorkel without having to worry about lenses. It is wonderful technology, worth the money for the freedom it gives you from contact lenses and glasses.

From the initial enquiry, through to final discharge, Ultralase have been very professional and thorough in all departments. Having worn spectacles form the age of 4 and latterly contact lenses for the past 25 years, my new vision is a revelation and just fantastic. I can see further, clearer, sharper than I ever had previously. An added bonus is never having to mess about with specs or lenses again!! Have it done!! Like me, you'll wish you had years ago!!

Fantastic from start to finish, better vision now than I had with glasses. Surgery brilliant no pain at all and sight got better every day after that. I now have better than 20/20 vision by 2 lines. I would urge anyone who is thinking of the surgery to go ahead, I'm glad I did. Staff are also fantastic, very helpful and professional. "Go for it"

Thanks alot to all the staff. From my very first meeting right through to and after the surgery. Very friendly and welcoming bunch and what better place to receive my treatment! How good is it to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock, know where I've left the remote control and spot my house keys in record time! Quality!!! Cheers everyone!

I had my initial consultation in the Newcastle clinic whilst living in the North East and then treatment in Chelmsford, the fact that clinics are all over the UK was a massive plus point for me. The consultation really put me at ease and the whole experience from beginning to end was exceptionally professional and friendly, not to mention thorough! The treatment was completely painless and I had someone explaining the process at every step, which was comforting. After bit of a blurry start and some inflammation, which was handled brilliantly, I now have better than 20/20 vision. Money very well spent!

I had Lasek Wavefront and am EXTREMELY happy with the results. The consultations before my treatment were thorough and very informative. NO questions were left unanswered - the treatment itself was extremely comfortable and I was well taken care of by the nurse after the procedure. The regular check-ups post procedure gave me reassurance also. I am extremely happy with the service provided by Ultralase and would recommend Ultralase Vision Correction to anybody who is thinking of having the treatment.

This is the best decision I have ever made. I was very nervous but the staff put me at ease and carefully explained each step of the procedure so that I did not have any nasty surprises. The aftercare is excellent.

06 Sep 2006

Brilliant!! Cannot describe the feeling of waking up and being able to see! Really looking forward to swimming without any goggles and playing sport without the hindrance of glasses. Ultralase has been fantastic from start to finish. Wish I had had it done much sooner

Service is fantastic, well worth it. I felt like Spiderman when he could see without glasses. It really has changed my life! Thank you!!

29 Aug 2006

This has absolutely changed my life. The procedure was painless and all the staff without exception were wonderful. Even 12 months on I still appreciate the benefits of 20/20 vision on a daily basis. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
