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
Having made the decision that for my 40th birthday I wanted to do something life changing. I decided that the best present I could ever have was perfect eyesight. After the initial consultation I was determined to have it done, because it all seemed so easy! Everyone at Ultralase was very helpful and friendly, and as the day came I must admit I grew a bit nervous wondering would I keep still? Would I sneeze? In the pre-op room I was even more nervous, then time for the op.
It was all over and done within a few minutes and all those fears instantly disappeared. I was easier than going to the dentist is now what I tell everyone.
A big thank you to Ultralase for making a dream come true, and a massive thank you to my partner Karen for making it happen!
Wow, I hadn't realised how much wan't seeig – even with my glasses on. It's wonderful, like being reborn at 51! Because I wanted to be completely free from wearing glasses I opted for the mono-vision treatment. Now when I go fishing not only can I see perfectly in torrential rain but I can also see to tie knots. It's such a magical feeling to be able to see everything is so much detail, without any effort. I find it quite breathtaking at times. Thank you so much – Juliet x
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!!
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.
