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
I decided to go with Ultralase because they offered the best possible treatment and service. You cannot compromise something as important as sight. I am absolutely thrilled with results and would definitely recommend Ultralase.
From the start to finish my experience with Ultralase has been fantastic. They put my mind at rest before, during and after treatment. I’ve had amazing results and ca now read the bottom line of the eye chart. Thank to everyone.
Having Ultralase vision correction treatment was one of the best things I have ever done. From the initial consultation through to the operations and after-care, I was impressed by the staff professionalism and genuine care. At every stage I was made to feel at ease. If you are thinking about surgery I would definitely say ‘go ahead and have it done!’
Since having treatment with Ultralase my life has changed for the better. I feel like I have new lease of life. It’s given me confidence. Thanks to everyone at Ultralase.
After researching several companies I chose to go with Ultralase as they were extremely professional from the initial consultation and did not give it ‘hard sell’ like so many companies did. I was able to pick the surgeon to conduct the surgery, after viewing the surgeon’s experience and profiles and thereafter felt completely reassured that I was going to receive the best treatment possible. The operation was amazing quick and pain free with instant results and after just one day my eyesight felt like 20:20 vision. Now one month post-surgery I have been told that my eyes are better than 20:20 vision and I cannot wait to swim without glasses or contact lenses. For the first time I can remember. I wish I’d have had the surgery done years ago and would thoroughly recommend Ultralase to anyone.
