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
To say that it was the best thing I have ever done would be an understatement. Even now some 18 months after the treatment I still marvel at the results and have recommended many friends. The service and aftercare was first rate and the staff made you feel perfectly at ease. I would have no hesitation of having the treatment again if it was necessary.
All my expectations were exceeded – the whole Ultralase experience was fantastic, staff were very understanding, comforting and patient. I have nothing but praise for Ultralase. – I have recommended them to many people of which some have gone ahead to have eye laser surgery with Ultralase.
All of the Ultralase staff were excellent when I had my treatment 2 and a half years ago. I have since had my eyes tested and still have 20/20 vision, the optician commented how neat the scars were and said my eyes and eyesight were very healthy. This is total contrast to when I used to wear contact lenses and my eyes were always red and had infections etc. I could not be more pleased with the results,I take my perfect eyesight for granted now.
I was initially quite nervous about the procedure but was reassured by hearing the positive feedback of others. I do remember the nurse holding my hand throughout the whole thing! and feeling reassurred by this simple kind act! i have no regrets other than i wish i had had it done years ago!it has made such a radical difference to my life, I would not hesitate in recommending Ultralase to anyone considering such treatment, my only gripe was the distance to travel but for such treatment it was well worth it! Thank you.
A life changing experience! The treatment was quick and relatively painless and by the time I felt panicky it was all over. The results are amazing and I would recommend the procedure to anyone who feels restricted with glasses or contacts. I can now swim with the confidence that I won't accidentally walk into the wrong changing room! Also I have recently taken up karate at the grand old age of 37 and have managed to jump a grade form novice to orange belt! Karate cannot be played with glasses or contacts and so this side of me I have discovered would have remained hidden had I not had the procedure done ! So many new opportunities are opened up by having this done.
