About Ultralase
Company History
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. By the end of that year, 12 clinics had been established in metropolitan centres such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and others.
