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 had been considering laser surgery for a few years and after finding that I was suitable I decided to go for it! I was really nervous but the staff at Hammersmith Ultralase were very friendly and reassuring. My prescription was -5 in one eye and -6 in the other so I was quite blind! The treatment was not as bad as I had anticipated- infact I was dreading it! The nurse talked me through the procedure which was really good to know whats going on and that everything that was happening was normal. My vision was very blurry immediately afterwards but I could still see a definate improvement. The next day I could see really well and actually went shopping! I had my eyes tested a week later and I already had 20/20 vision!
I would recommend anyone who is thinking about having their eyes done to go for it!
I have worn glasses since I was four and this has already made such a difference to me!
What can I say – Have it done today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic service from start to finish – highly professional and worth every penny. At all stages, the advice was spot on + attentive, and gave me real confidence. I was certainly not tempted to risk my eyes on a cheaper alternative and know that I went with the best one on the market – it certainly pays to do your homework in this respect. My eyes are now 'better' than 20:20 vision – unbelievable…I'm still pinching myself that it's happened!
It is fantastic not to have to wear glasses or contact lenses anymore, I am so glad I went ahead with the treatment.
The nurses were very reassuring and kept you imformed at each stage.
My vision is excellent now.
I just had my second eye treated by the LCRS (One diamond surgery, one lens implant). Before the treatment I went around some of the laser clinics, and they all offered me what they had, he same for both eyes (I am a bit unusual to have such a difference between the two eyes).
Anyway, at the LCRS I felt that it was my choice, rather then being sold something. Both treatment went well and now, “good-bye contacts”, Hurray! I will recommend them to my firends.
I couldn't recommend this surgery enough. I was made at ease from the beginning. All the staff were professional and made me confident that I was in safe hands. Now I can see better than I could with my glasses.
