- The first laser eye treatment provider in the UK to have its treatment results verified, giving real transparency of results - a process which remains in place today.
- The first and only company to ensure that all of its surgeons in GB are certified by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists; the highest specialist accreditation in this field.
- Only national provider of Ultra Elite - the latest and most advanced wavefront treatment, achieving the best published results in the industry; 99% of those treated achieved 20/20 vision and 100% achieved driving standard.*
- The first and only provider of Ultra Renew; a revolutionary new treatment for presbyopia, the age related need for reading glasses. In addition, Ultralase are pioneering Vue+ inlays giving them the widest range of presbyopic treatments of any national provider.

Knowing the difference it can make to each and every contact lens and glasses wearer, is what drives us to ensure that we're providing the best possible solution and high level of care to all.
"Starting with just one laser eye treatment clinic in the Wirral, Ultralase and its team of world-class surgeons has led the industry throughout, with significant achievements year on year in terms of clinical excellence, leading edge technology, ground breaking treatments and transparency of results.
