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.

Our Testimonials
The whole procedure was very professional handled and was completed within an hour. Each step of the process was explained in detail to me on the day which was very reassuring. I felt no pain during or after the procedure and can only say I should have had Laser Surgery years ago. I would whole heartedly recommend Ultralase to anyone considering Laser Eye Surgery.
Had Lasik in July 2003. Why didn't I have it done ages ago? Plucked up the courage after discussing it with my optician, she's had it too, and I went to her for my aftercare. Don't know what I was worried about, everyone at Ultralase was great and made me feel at ease. My eyesight was quite bad, couldn't move without glasses, now I don't need them at all. All my old specs went in the charity bin at the opticians!
VERY SATISFIED OVERALL FROM THE INITIAL CONSULTATION TO TREATMENT. THERE WAS NO PRESSURE AT ALL FROM THE START AND ALL THE STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. THE RESULS ARE EXCELLENT -20/20 VISION.
I was impressed by the consultation as it was incredibly thorough. The procedure itself was totally painless and nurses and surgeon talked me through every stage. My eyes were very dry after the procedure which affected my vision but the aftercare I received has been second to none. I have had weekly checkups for two months and my eyes are now healing well and I have been prescribed drops to sort our the dryness which are working well.
I would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend ultralase to anyone considering laser eye surgery.
The whole experence of having my eyes lasered has been fantastic. I had the wavefront and its made a real difference, I now don't mind driving at night whereas before treatment I tried as hard as I could to avoid it. I've now got 24 hour vision!! Thank you.
