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
Excellent service from consultation, through treatment and aftercare. It has made such a difference in every day life from doing sports to falling asleep on the sofa without a worry. I would recomend Ultralase without hesitation.
it's been 18 months since I had diamond microsurgery (or rk) as it used to be known. Going to the LCRS has given me a new standard of life, more confidence, and my only regret is waiting so long, but hey, researching is probably the most important part. I went for loads of consultations (accuvision, optimax, laservision, ultralase) They all told me risks of going for other types of treatments than the ones they offered, and seemed to play down the risks of their tretments. At LCRS the risks of microsurgery were made abundantly clear. I'm not saying to people who are considering eye surgery, that the lcrs are better than the other places i've mentioned. I'm saying go to as many consultations as you can, you will eventually find the surgeon whom you are happy to come near your eyes with a scapel/laser. I had total confidence in my surgeon, and this is the most important factor. Find someone who is knowledgeable, experienced, not afraid to point out the dangers, and willing to answer any question thoroughly. My prescription was -7 in both eyes (ie very short sighted) with bad astigmatism. My prescription is , 18 months on +0.25 in one eye and -0.5 in the other (ie-brilliant). Thank you to all the staff there, and of course the younger DR. Jory.
Considered treatment 2 years ago but cost put me off, had treatment six months ago to enable me to apply for a foreign Police force, 100% successful and best money I've ever spent. Extremely professional in all aspects which is reassuring throughout. My advice-go for it!
After much thought, I finally decided to have the Lasek treatment. It is a big decision and it is your eye sight at stake. Now, having had the surgery and been discharged with better than 20-20 vision and fully healthy eyes the only regret is that I didn't have it done sooner.
Thoroughly professional and yet friendly at every stage of the treatment, I thank all at Ultralase for their help and encouragement.
A very satisfied customer.
Having the laser treatment has completly change my life. i whish i had it done years ago. Any one you can have it done i would recomened having it done rather than having a hoilday. The staff are great
