Visualase understands that having laser eye surgery is a big decision for you, and knows that you will have questions about your suitability and the treatment itself. This clinic has over 12 years experience in delivering clinical excellence and can guide you through the process every step of the way.
As a private independent clinic, it provides extremely high levels of customer service and personal attention, claiming that over 99% of its patients would recommend it to family and friends.
At your free consultation, Mr Eamonn Hynes, Mr Manoj Mathai or Dr Stephen Doyle will sit down with you and discuss the best way to correct your vision and answer all your questions. These eye doctors have a wealth of experience, having performed over 50,000 procedures between them. This one-to-one time with your treating doctor, as part of your decision making process, is surprisingly rare, and is not offered as standard by many of the other laser eye clinics.
When you come for a consultation at Visualase – you talk to your doctor – not a salesperson. It can be reassuring to meet your doctor in advance, and have your questions answered. What’s more Visualase’s unique blend of the latest technology, surgical skill and patient care are impressive – though some of the top eye clinics in London are even more advanced.
Visualase is on a mission to help more people in the UK enjoy sports, hobbies and holidays, without the hassle and inconvenience of glasses and contact lenses. That’s why it comes fifth in our list of the five best laser eye surgery clinics in Manchester.

I was really scared about having this procedure as anything with eyes really scares me!! However the staff at the clinic are wonderful! I had the Tamazapan but looking back I dont really think that I needed it. The actual procedure was absolutely pain free and I could not feel a thing! I was comfortable and felt fine and relaxed. About half an hour afterwards It started to be a bit uncomfortable but nothing like I had expected and I cannot really call it pain! I continued with the drops every 2 hours for the first 24 hours and all was well. I had it done in the morning and by evening I was watching the television without glasses!! It was really like a miracle as I had never thought that my astigmatism could be corrected and escpecialy so quickly! I would recommend Bolton Visualase to anybody as my StepSon and Neice have had it done there and also my husband's cousin and they have all been fine. Thanks a lot Visualase xx

Wow fantastic results
From the first phone call I knew I had chosen the right clinic to perform my treatment
At the free consultation absolutely everything was explained in detail we were shown the equipment and talked through the procedure I didn’t hesitate to book there and then
I returned 2 days later for the surgery there was NO pain whatsoever the only sensation I felt was a scratching sensation I didn’t need to be nervous at all
The results are amazing on the way home I read every van and road sign ha lucky if I could see the sign prior to treatment
If you are contemplating having this done then this is without doubt the place to go to from the receptionist to the optician to the surgeon everyone is very professional efficient and friendly
Do it you won’t be disappointed

I would highly recommend Visualase Eye clinic in Bolton for anyone considering having laser eye surgery .From first contacting the clinic in January 2011 I was treated with the upmost respect from all the staff from Elaine on reception to all the opticians before and after my treatment and especially Mr E Hynes who first checked my suitability and explained in full detail what would be involved in the surgery and the after care , on the day of surgery again all the staff were excellent in how welcoming and caring they all were in putting me at my ease . It has been the best decision I have made , after wearing glasses for over 40 years I can now get up in a morning without having to reach out first for my glasses before I could even go to the bathroom , wonderful!!!!

The whole team at Visualase are professional and friendly. I received personalised support and advice throughout.This included consultations and assessments with Dr Doyle and the optomerists from Clough's Opticians. The support and assessments continued for a year following the procedure. My original prescription was quite strong and now I have perfect vision, so the treatment has been life-changing.
Stephen Rimmer
Very reassuring and professional staff in all aspects of the treatment, from the consultation to surgery and aftercare. Would strongly recommend visualase to anybody considering treatment.
Yvonne Fox
A quick, simple and painless experience! I cannot recommend enough. I rested at home for about 2 hours after the procedure and then any discomfort had gone. The staff are amazing, they put you at ease and are so friendly. My husband also had it done at this clinic and because he was so pleased with everything I decided to go for it too!

Did my research before choosing Visualase and didn't regret my decision at all, from the first phone call right up to my 3 month check up everything has been superb. All the staff not only at Visualase but at Cloughs as well are really helpful, reassuring and can't do enough to put you at ease. I know everybody says it when they've had laser eye surgery that I should have done it years ago, but it's true! Go for it and if you want my advise look no further than Visualase, you wont be disappointed. My wife's had hers done now as well, through Visualase of course. Brian Curwen

From the moment I made my first phone call to the treatment and the follow up appointments I have had nothing but the best care and support. It was the best decision that I could ever have made and I have all the staff at Visualase, Bolton to thank. The consultation with Mr Doyle was informative and very helpful he explained everything to me in laymens terms so that I could understand the procedure. He showed me the operating room and the machine that would be used which put my mind at rest as I knew exactly what would happen. The procedure itself was painfree and Mr Doyle told me exactly what he was doing and what to expect when. Following the procedure I did feel some slight discomfort but that was expected and the pain killers and anaesthetic drops were provided. It did take a week for my eyes to recover however, it was very quick and I could see almost immediately with my left eye it took slightly longer with my right. Overall,a very worthwhile experience and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about laser eye surgery.

I had my right eye treated on Friday 19th Oct at 3pm. Treatment was painless and by Saturday morning my vision was excellent. Eye drops and care will needed for 7 days. Normally at my age reading glasses would be needed if both eyes were treated but I received advice that because my reading was OK without glasses I could have just one eye treated which avoids the need for reading glasses. I am delighted with the whole process from initial consultation through to treatment.
