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.

Our Testimonials
The initial treatment was pain free but little uncomfortable. After treatment eyes were very watery and uncomfortable, but it was only on the say of the procedure and it was worth because my eyesight is marvelous and worth every penny.
I wanted laser treatment mainly for not wishing to wear specs for driving. My consultation was excellent, very informative and I was exited to have laser treatment and recovery time over before my trip to Las Vegas. I was advised to have Lasik but unfortunately was unable to because of the shape of my cornea, I therefore was offered the Lasek. I must say I am very very very happy with the result. I only needed treatment on one eye and will not hesitate to have treatment on other eye if it is needed. The staff here are wonderful, very pleasant and very helpful. Thank you very much.
From the moment I walked into the clinic I was treated with courtesy and respect. All of the staff were helpful and happy. I was surprised how quickly the procedure was over and even more how quickly I can see without my glasses. The day after the checkup was great. I looked out of window and could see the leaves clearly out of the window and could see the leaves clearly on the trees outside. Freedom at last!
From the first phone call through to after care it has been a first class experience – virtually pain free and my sight better than 20:20! I can see things on horizon! Never could. The whole procedure was so calm and painless and I was driving in less than 24 hours. Thank you so much!
Everyone at Ultralase has been very supportive and made me feel at ease. I was quite scared before my treatment, but the actual procedure was painfree and not a bad experience at all. Now I can see without the use of glasses or contacts – it is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone!
