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
Very good results. I have gone from -5.75 in my right eye and -5.50 in the left to 20:20 vision.
Would recommend Ultralase, as treatment and after-care have all ran smoothly. Not wearing glasses has transformed the way I look and has made physical activities a lot easier.
I was kind of scared before my surgery but everyone was very kind and reassuring. Although the surgery was slightly uncomfortable my eyes were only sore for around 2 hours. After this point I’ve had no trouble at all with them.
Ultralase have been really good with very thorough aftercare. I would definitely recommend them.
I’ve worn glasses and contact lenses for 17 years, and the morning after my treatment I could already see better than driving standard! I was nervous before my treatment but the staff were fantastic. Every member of staff I’ve had contact with was exceptional. My eyes were sore and uncomfortable for about 8 years but it quickly passed, and was entirely worth it. Having laser treatment is a big decision but I would recommend Ultralase to everyone. I was dependant on my glasses and lenses for most of my life; my new eye sight means so much to me.
The consultation, treatment and after-care have been excellent The results are fantastic considering how poor my eyesight was before. I would recommend laser eye surgery and in particular Ultralase to anyone.
The whole Ultralase experience was fantastic. The staff are so friendly and professional and the treatment was quick and pain free.
I now have 20:20 vision, which was more than I hoped for. For the first time in 22 years I am able to wake up in the morning and see everything straight away.
I would highly recommend Ultralase to anyone and everyone.!
