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 really can't praise Ultralase enough with regards to their professionalism and genuine care for their patients. I was absolutely terrified about having my eyes lasered (it took me 4 years to pluck up the courage to wear contact lenses!) but they immediately put me at ease and I am amazed at the results. The only really painful part about the whole procedure is being unable to wear eye make up for a fortnight. I think I was the guniea pig for a lot of people in my office but now they are all making appointments to have it done. If I can do it, anybody can.
I have worn contact lenses for 17 years, my prescription -4.75.The staff at guildford were fantastic so calming and very proffesional, the treatment was over so quickly and straight away Ii could tell the difference, this procedure has changed my life, evenings out are so clear when driving and no dirty contacts to deal with or sore eyes the next morning..I would recommend this treatment my vision is now better than 20/20…one word to sum up would be FANTASTIC
The staff at Ultralase were excellent and made me feel completely at ease. I couldn't belive how quickly the treatment worked and I could see perfectly to drive the next day! My friend went to ultralase and had her eyes done too after she had seen how pleased I was with the results.
Fantastic and friendly service! I can now after two months see absolutely perfectly. I should have done this years ago. My friend and I, who also had the assessment and treatment at the same time, are so delighted that we are telling everyone about it. At our last eye test we both have vision better than 20/20! The staff at Chester made the expereice so pleasurable. They all made us feel very special and everyone was extremely friendly. The receptionists always knew who we were without us telling them and Lee and his mother deserve a special mention as they were fantastic. Jackie Cowgill – A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER
My life has been changed dramatically since my operation with Ultralase. It is absolutely wonderful; waking up in the morning and being able to see!! No more fumbling and poking in my eyes to use contact lenses. I would and do recommend it to everyone!
