I had LASIK done in Dublin after a consultation and follow up in Derry. From the very start, Elizabeth in Derry put me at ease with her approach. Such a warm, helpful way about her. Surgeon Mikhall Hernandez took the time to meet me in advance to explain the process. All the staff- Iwona, Julie, Jess, Robbie (from Donegal!) and Rachael, I really appreciated the way they supported me from start to finish

I had a great LASIK experience at Optilase Carrickmines and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Tom Materman is incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him, as well as the whole Optilase team! I didn’t feel anything during the procedure, which was much easier than I expected. My recovery has also been going really well—I’m only on day two, and everything has been smooth so far. Thank you to everyone at Optilase for the excellent care!

Life changing. From the initial consultation to the aftercare, Optilase have been friendly, professional and caring every step of the way. No worry or concern was too small for a detailed discussion and helpful response. 3 months after my phakic lens surgery my vision is as good as it ever was with glasses without the hassle. Would recommend the Optilase Carrickmines team to anyone.

Fantastic experience through and through. Fred and the rest of Belfast team were a dream to work with. They explained everything, kept me well informed and honoured the price promise as I found a local clinic that was slightly cheaper. I had seriously dry eyes prior to procedure so was advised how to improve with a heat mask, wipes and eye drops. It took 3 follow up visits but eventually I qualified. I had my surgery yesterday, the team once again explained everything in detail, kept me comfortable. The whole thing was a huge success. Today I had my first post-op check up - my eyesight is already better than 20/20 and it's only going to get better in coming weeks and months as my eyes heal and recover. Honestly I couldn't be happier, I am really looking forward to running my first half marathon next month without glasses or contact lenses. Thank you so much! 😍👌🤠

I wore glasses since 6th class. At fifteen I begged my mother to get me contact lenses ,she told me to go get a job !! I wore contact lenses for 20 years. It was very expensive. I promised myself one day I would get laser eye surgery . For my 30th birthday I treated myself 🥰 Without doubt it was the best money I ever spent. It was life changing for me . Do it! You will not regret it! Being able to see first thing in the morning without looking for your glasses is priceless . The team were fantastic and the follow up care was great . Thanks again Optilase cork .
Google Review - Michelle Buckley
My experience in Optilase Cork has been nothing short of fantastic. I am an extremely nervous patient be it doctors,hospitals or dentists I dread them! From the starting consultations to the day of the surgery I was treated as an individual case. I felt valued and respected by each member of staff I encountered. I have been wanting to get this surgery done for years I just wish I had done it sooner. On the day of the surgery, the receptionists, the nurses and the surgeon himself were extremely uplifting and helped to put my mind at ease. The surgery itself was super quick! It is not at all painful with minimal discomfort. The staff throughly explain the aftercare and all drops are provided as part of the package which means there’s no trip to the pharmacy post surgery. There are 4 check ups post surgery (1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 month) so you are not left wondering how the recovery is coming along! Overall I can’t recommend the surgery enough it has allowed me to go about my day to day routine with ease!

Life changing experience with optilase. Its been 6 months since my surgery and have no problems since day 1. The Cork clinic were outstanding from my very first consultation up until now. I have recently been discharged and have now 20/13 vision which i have been told is better than 20/20 vision which is absolutely insane as before I was -6 in each eye. Don't hesitate make that call to get the consultation. You won't look back 😀

Google Review - Brahim Bouya
Best decision I’ve made, highly recommend Optilase! My journey with Optilase actually started over a year ago with a free consultation. Due to the curvature of my eyes I wasn’t eligible for LASIK, but rather than turn me away, the team referred my results to the surgeon for advice and recommended I return in 12 months to check my vision was stable. That level of care and thoroughness from the very start really set the tone. A year later I came back, passed all the tests, and was approved for PRK. Every step of the process was explained clearly, the optician was precise and even gave practical tips like taking Omega 3 supplements to support recovery. On the day of surgery (30th April), I was nervous, but the team were incredibly reassuring from the moment I walked in. There were multiple checks, a detailed pre-op conversation with the surgeon, and a video walkthrough of the aftercare drops. By the time I went in, I felt fully prepared. The procedure itself took less than 2 minutes, I felt nothing. The technology is seriously impressive. Over a month on, my vision is transformed. It’s genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re considering laser eye surgery, don’t hesitate and don’t hesitate to choose Optilase.

I couldn't finish the process without leaving a review for this amazing team. Thank you all for helping me see so clearly without needing glasses. This month marks 3 months since I had LASIK, and it has truly been life-changing. Wearing glasses always bothered me because I enjoy sports, and even contact lenses were often uncomfortable. The whole journey started with Clare Hegarty at South William Street. Thank you so much, Clare, for your care and attention. As a Senior Optometrist, you gave me hope. At first, the process seemed almost too easy, which made me a little nervous, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you as well to Thomas Materman. Your clear, simple, and direct explanation of the procedure made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Thank you to the entire Optilase team. Three months later, it feels as if I never had surgery at all—except that I can now see perfectly. I have experienced no negative side effects, and I am delighted with the results. I highly recommend Optilase to anyone considering LASIK surgery.☘️☘️☘️

Cannot thank the team at optilase Belfast enough. From my consultation back in December to my surgery just 24hrs ago it’s been a very smooth process.

Had my eyes done in the Belfast clinic 2 weeks ago. From the reception staff to the opticians, they were so professional and friendly, I knew from my first appointment I was in safe hands. The level of care during and after care I have received is AMAZING! I was so nervous and staff kept telling me I'd be grand, once it was over and done it, it really was fine, I was in and out in minutes. If you are considering getting your eyes done, take this as your sign and book it asap!

I recently had laser eye surgery at Optilase in Belfast and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I was quite nervous beforehand, as it’s obviously a big decision and not something you do every day. However, from the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and reassuring. The whole team took the time to explain every step of the process, which really helped put my mind at ease. The procedure itself was surprisingly quick and completely painless. Before I knew it, it was over and I was on my way to recovery. What really stood out to me was the level of care and attention throughout the entire journey — from the initial consultation to the surgery and aftercare. The clinic is modern, clean, and very well organised, and you can tell the staff genuinely care about their patients. Overall, the experience was outstanding and I’m absolutely delighted with the results. My vision is already dramatically improved and it feels amazing to wake up and see clearly without glasses or contact lenses. I would highly recommend Optilase Belfast to anyone considering laser eye surgery. The team there make the whole process smooth, comfortable, and very reassuring.

I've left this review for a few months to properly see how my eyes were after lens replacement surgery and to see how good the post op care was from Optilase. My eyes are like I was 20 again and the post op care was 5 star. Both Athlone and Carrickmines were fantastic, I couldn't fault them, staff in both locations and the doctor who performed the surgery were amazing. Highly recommend. A very trustworthy company, surgery was seamless and after care excellent. They really know what they are doing.

Google Review - Sinéad Elizabeth Delaney
My glasses has always made me feel self conscious to the point of not wearing them. I had my free consultation for eligibility with Rachel who was helpful and really put me at ease about the entire procedure. Elizabeth in reception was friendly and welcoming throughout each visit helping me set up all my upcoming appointments and fit me in for my surgery to meet my schedule. The day of surgery I was brought upstairs for re-scans. Paul did these and he was extremely kind. He answered all my questions making me feel at ease. After I was then called by Fiona who was assisting Dr. Tom in my surgery. I met Dr. Tom who ran over the procedure and answered questions I had. Fiona then went through the things to be mindful of after surgery showing me the three different eye drops to be taken and then helped me prep for surgery. The surgery itself was so quick. I first laid down on the chair and they dosed my eyes in eye drops which were to stop infections and aesthetic to keep my eyes open. Dr. Tom and the team began. It was such a quick painless procedure I couldn’t believe it was finished so quick. Already getting up I felt I could see better although a little fuzzy. Fiona guided me to the dark area of the reception while I waited to go home. The girls in reception had already called my dad and he was on the way. Sitting there I could already read the signs on the wall (I couldn’t when I had come in). Paul and Fiona came and sat with me for a second in reception asking me how I was and how I got on which was so nice of them. My dad collected me and I put my sunglasses on. It was a sunny day and I’m going to be honest the car ride home for me was the hardest part. Fiona told me my eyes would become heavy when the eye drops wore off. I felt the light from the sun in the car ride home was harsh on my eyes and my eyes stung. This was instantly relieved when I got home and went to my room which was in complete darkness. The first two hours my eyes were a little sore and stingy. Then this all faded very quick. No stinging. No pain. Nothing. All great. My eyes improving more and more as the day went on. I was nervous about the eye drops but set them up on my table with an alarm and it’s so easy to just pop them in. My eyes were quite red with two red dots on each side. I rested up for the evening and I wore my dark glasses they provided for a lot of the evening to really rest my eyes and by that night my vision was very sharp it was amazing. I slept very well with my eye mask and not once did I have to take painkillers. My follow up appointment was with Michaela who was lovely and stated I have 20/20 vision and my eyes look good. She also said the redness is 100% normal and is just bruising of the eye from the suction. My experience has been amazing. I honestly can’t thank the staff enough. Each and every one of them were so nice and welcoming and the liking to answer all my questions. If you have any doubts at all; I wouldn’t. Get it done if you can. I wish I got it done sooner. Any questions or using a refer a friend find me on fb or instagram with the name above 😊

I recently had PRK laser eye surgery with Optilase, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From my first consultation right through to my follow-up appointments, every member of the team was friendly, reassuring, and incredibly professional. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. The procedure itself was quick and far less intimidating than I expected.

Waking up every day with clear, sharp vision feels like a miracle. If you’re considering PRK or any laser eye surgery, I can’t recommend Optilase highly enough. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

From the day 1 I felt I was important client ! Carrickmines clinic is sooo clean & neat in every way On the day of the surgery I felt even more cared for and soothed while being a VERY anxious customer the staff & surgeon made me calm and also advised on a better future treatment then initially was thought , which I though was wonderful and showed they care Small downside 🫤 can’t reach directly clinic but when call the number given it’s going to main customer care ( which is also very helpful) But the reason for that is that they work the load between the clinics , which is understandable Overall , even if you’re the most scared person to do this - please TRUST you feel no pain and the gain is fare more worth, then few pre-stressful moments And the actual procedure is honestly less then 10 min

From the day one of my appointment, every thing was very well organized and informative 👌 👍. I did my LASIK surgery this year and everything was really great 👍... My initial appointment was in William Street clinic and the LASIK was done at Carrickmines clinic. My vision became sharp in the very next day itself. There was only a bit redness for one day and it was gone in the next day as well...no further irritation or complications occurred for me.... The staff and the doctors were really nice and helpful... All the appointments and after care were well organized and planned based on my convenience.... The optometrist and the surgeon did an amazing job 👏....Thanks a million for the help 😀.... I referred one of my friend this clinic as well.... I truly hope everyone will be given the best care like that of mine as well... 💛 Once again thanks a million 😊

All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Everyone takes time to explain procedures and reassure any anxieties. The premises are very clean without a cold atmosphere.

Optilase Dublin were very friendly and easy to deal with, exactly what you want from a medical clinic. Organised, calm, clean and a great result, wish I hade done it a decade ago. How come when our cars break down we spend thousands fixing them but we don’t when a part of our body needs fixing??

Great clinic staff and all employee were very welcoming and lovely to deal with. Originally went to see eligibility for laesk and was told it could be 50/50 chance on needing PRK which is tougher and more expensive so staff gave support and direction on how to increase my ability to get laesk and come back in 6 month after to check again. Returned after 6 month and was eligible for laesk and had the surgery scheduled for 8 weeks later. Laesk procedure was quick easy and painless. Very helpful understanding and supportive in listening to what I wanted

I travelled to cork for PRK laser eye surgery. The staff in both the Limerick and cork clinic are very professional and friendly. I was greeted with a very warm welcome on the day of my procedure. I am really looking forward to the start of my new life with my new eyes. The clinic was easy to locate and it was very hygienic. I was nervous on the day of the surgery but the staff reassured me. Thank you optilase for helping me see the world more clearly.

Only great things to say about Optilase Cork. Great experience just wish I did it sooner. Came out with better than 20/20 vision. I couldn’t be happier.

Great experience with the operation and after care. My sight is now excellent. If I had one criticism it would be around pre-op contact. Was hard to nail down exact times and dates.

A very pleasant any professional experience from start to finish. Staff were helpful and accommodating to a fault. As I was travelling a significant distance for appointments unavoidable changes in times and dates were never a problem. Thank you to all staff. I’m loving my new found clear vision !
