    From my initial consultation with Marie in limerick to Ian and Eddie in cork and my follow up with Colette in Galway I can only say how impressed I was start to finish. I am here 4 days post surgery not needing glasses for the first time in 34 years I will never regret my decision. The customer service is brilliant the surgery quick day 1 post surgery a bit rough but waking up the following morning was much better. The guys explain everything thoroughly and put your nerves at ease I won’t lie I was very nervous day of but the team couldn’t have been nicer. If you told me I had to go through it again tomorrow I wouldn’t have an issue . If you have any questions go for the consultation it’s worth checking I am so glad I went for it I’m seeing the world in a whole new way

    Wow, after 15 years of wearing contact lenses every single day, seeing everything clearly from the moment I wake in the morning is surreal! I think I put off having laser eye surgery because I was nervous about the procedure but the staff at Optilase were great. The procedure is so quick! The support offered, with 24/7 emergency call number if I had any concerns, was very reassuring. Also, the convenience of having the procedure here in Cork, rather than having to go to Dublin was a huge plus. I wish I did this 15 years ago! The only challenge now, is to remember that I don't have to take out contact lenses at night and this 20/20 vision is my own!!

    I highly recommend Optilase for laser eye surgery, the whole team at Optilase were so kind and helpful. The surgery was so quick and the surgeons kept me so calm through the whole lot. I am amazed at how fast I recovered. Best decision I ever made. No more glasses for me 😁

    I wanted to get Prk surgery for a long time in order to ditch the glasses and get back into sport. Getting it done with Optilase was the best decision I've ever made. The staff were really helpful and professional, and my vision is now better than I could have ever hoped for. For anyone thinking of getting laser eye surgery, I can't recommend Optilase enough!

    I had lens replacement surgery (iol) and from start to finish, the process was seamless. The surgery took just 15 minutes and I was advised what to expect every step of the way. My eyesight is now perfect, no glasses required anymore. I was able to drive the next day, once the appropriate tests had been carried out. The after care is excellent. It’s been 6 months since my surgery and no problems whatsoever. It’s the best decision I ever made.

    I recently got lasik and it turned out perfect. I was extremely nervous and the staff there put me at ease, answered all my questions and were super accommodating. Every appointment has been seamless and quick. Would recommend doing it, it really is worth it. I think the friendly staff made it all more worthwhile.

    From start to finish I was treated with the best care in Cork. Staff were so kind and understanding. I was nervous but they all made me feel more at ease. The actual LASIK surgery didn't take long at all and there was no pain. They talk you through everything and their checks were thorough. My vision was blurred and eyes were sensitive to light following the procedure. I highly recommend Polaroid sunglasses for walking out. I am one week post op and have the freedom to watch TV / drive without searching for my glasses! I will definitely be recommending this surgery to my colleagues!

    The entire experience was so positive from my initial consultation to the follow up appointments. The team were so professional, kind and reassuring. The whole process was well explained and I know have excellent vision! I couldn’t rate this experience more highly and I have been recommending it to every glasses wearer I know!

  • 5/5 Linda B. 10 months ago on Google
    Have been wanting to do this for years and so glad i finally did!!! From the first consultation to the day of surgery I felt comfort in the knowledge that i had chosen the right place!! I had done lots of research and it paid off. As someone who has worn glasses since age of six with a very high prescription, I am amazed to wake up everyday and see clearly. I have better than 20/20 vision now even reading lines on the chart I never knew existed 🤭🤣. Thanks to everyone in the cork branch for all their help and support!! 👏👏

  • 5/5 Margaret C. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best things I’ve done. The staff in Cork and Dublin were great and the care before during and ongoing aftercare is excellent and very reassuring. Having normal sight back is amazing.

  • 5/5 Catherine J. 11 months ago on Google
    Had my LASIKs appointment in May and the process was very quick and I saw results immediately! The care has been exceptional by the entire Optilase team throughout all the pre-surgery and post-surgery interactions! Highly recommend Optilase to all looking into this treatment!

  • 5/5 Rachel D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had initial consultation in Cork and Dan explained everything in great detail and answered all my questions. He was fantastic. The day of the surgery met a number of other staff all of which were so nice and helpful. Surgery was quick and the staff were great the whole time. Had the one week follow up appointment in Galway and the lady again was so nice and helpful and answered any questions I had!

  • 5/5 Katie P. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently attended the Optilase Cork clinic for laser eye surgery and could not recommend it more!! From initial consultation to the surgery to follow up appointments the team were so attentive and informative. Everyone I met throughout the process made me feel at ease and could not have been more helpful. I am absolutely delighted with the results so far!

  • 5/5 Laura B. 1 year ago on Google
    Found the whole process very professional and efficient. Had the surgery and could more or less see straight away. Surgery itself was painless and recovery was slightly uncomfortable afterwards but after three hours of sleep absolutely perfect. Have had a few follow up appointments and they are very thorough and answer any questions you may have. Very approachable and informative, would definitely recommend to everyone.

  • 5/5 Éadaoin O. 1 year ago on Google
    I had lasik eye surgery last Thursday afternoon and highly recommend the Cork clinic. Each member of staff were excellent and guided me through the process with lots of support and kindness. After a few days of rest, I am delighted with my vision.

  • 5/5 Jess K. 9 months ago on Google
    The staff are great in the Cork optilase clinic. I had a really good experience getting my laser surgery done, any concerns were always dealt with professionally and the aftercare is thorough. Thanks to Dan, Dr. Bader and all the staff.

  • 5/5 Sharon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, I couldn't recommend Optilase in Opera Lane in Cork City highly enough. Exceptionally professional and friendly staff who make you feel at ease from beginning to end - no question too big or too small with excellent follow up care. The procedure itself was easier than I could have very have imagined, it was over before I knew it - I can't believe the difference and totally regret not getting it done years ago! I will be recommending Optilase to everyone.

  • 5/5 Kayleigh O' B. 2 years ago on Google
    So happy that I decided to go for laser eye surgery with Optilase. After the consultation I immediately felt my fears were subsided by their expertise, knowledge, friendliness and ease. The process from consultation to surgery to follow up appointment was so easy and quick. I had no pain or discomfort in the quick surgery and only had pain for about 4-5 hours post surgery. Definitely worth it for perfect eye sight for life! The lifetime guarantee gives me a lot of comfort. I feel well taken care of. The staff were lovely and kept me informed. Currently 3 days post surgery and having my perfect sight is amazing. So far so good!

  • 5/5 Aoife C. 1 year ago on Google
    I got my laser done in Sept 2021. It was a great experience start to finish. The clinic were very friendly and helpful and put me at ease and the surgery was a great success. I am so thrilled with it and I would absolutely recommend Optilase Cork.

  • 5/5 Paula Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Optilase was recommended by a friend who had eye laser surgery with them, and I am delighted she did. They were so friendly and informative from the first appointment right through to the aftercare. The nurses and surgeon made the surgery very quick and they made me feel calm and relaxed as I was nervous. It was completely painless and not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. It was over in less than 5 minutes! I would do it all over again as it's so amazing having perfect vision again! 🙂🙂🙂

  • 5/5 Evan O. 2 years ago on Google
    I am so delighted with my vision after surgery but also the level of care and attention I was given by optilase from the very beginning. Dan and all the team made sure that my prescription was stable for a few months before doing surgery and I had several consultations so I was assured that this was the right course of action. The surgery was extremely easy and painless and the recovery was far easier than I expected and I woke up the next day with vision better than 20-20!

  • 5/5 Geraldine K. 2 years ago on Google
    I had Laser eye surgery in Optilase Cork and my only regret was that I hadn't done it years sooner. The surgery itself was a breeze and I felt well looked after. My sight improved immediately and I have not worn glasses since even though it was over 6 years ago. I highly reccomend.

  • 5/5 Conor W. 2 years ago on Google
    I can easily day that choosing to get laser eye surgery with Optilase in Cork was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The staff are knowledgeable and professional, and walk you through every step of the process, leaving no doubts. As for the results, I went from barely being able to read font two feet in front of me, to having better than 20:20. Follow the after-care program and you'll be glad too.

  • 5/5 Siobhan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Delighted I decided to go ahead with the surgery. It really is life changing and I cannot recommend enough to anyone considering it. My only regret is not getting it done sooner! The optilase team were brilliant, very professional and helpful throughout the process! Very happy to refer anyone.

  • 4/5 Kieran F. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a successful surgery at Optilase Cork in January 2017 (or 2016) and the staff could not have been more attentive and professional. Follow up was seamless and I was initially delighted with the results. However, this year I felt my eyesight had started to regress again and arranged a consult after providing a fresh opticians review. I had the consult in Cork and again the service was second to none. I did receive one call immediately after the consult, but I have made a number of calls and not had a chance to speak to anybody to discuss my options going forward. This is the only fault I would say about the service and welcome some follow up as a result of this review. Best regards.

  • 5/5 Claire M. 2 years ago on Google
    I got Laser Eye Surgery in 2017 with Optilase and Cork and can honestly say it's life changing. The staff were really professional and put me at ease, so much so that I was excited about the procedure rather than nervous. The process and recovery steps were made very clear. The aftercare was also great. The results for me were instantly better as my eyesight was quite bad (I couldn't see my face properly in the mirror even up close). I would recommend Optilase Cork to anyone thinking of getting it done.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 2 years ago on Google
    I had LASIK eye surgery last Friday in the Opera lane clinic,Cork. From my first consultation, to the day of surgery & post check up everyone was absolutely brilliant. Professional, friendly and explained everything to me. I was nervous but I shouldn't have been! Less than 15 minutes and it was home time. 20/20 vision now and still going. I could see clearly the day after and I'm so happy with the whole experience. Would 100% recommend Optilase and especially the Cork office.

  • 5/5 Sinead R. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend Optilase for laser eye surgery. I was shocked at how quick and easy the surgery was, with immediate perfect vision! Such a great feeling not needing glasses or contact lenses any more, especially waking up in the morning with perfect vision, much worth it! I'm now 3 months after surgery, eyes are doing great and even better than 20/20! All my post-op check-ups have been fantastic, such a great team at Optilase Cork!

  • 5/5 Dean L. 1 year ago on Google
    I would highly recommend Optilase Cork, clinic! Staff were so helpful and nice, starting from reception and ending with the surgeon and nurses. The whole procedure and aftercare were explained to me in great detail. The surgery itself lasted for less than 5 minutes, the surgeon and his team were absolute professionals. Thanks to everyone involved! Goodbye glasses & contacts, hello 20/20 vision, money well spent…..

  • 5/5 Meg D. 1 year ago on Google
    I was delighted with the results of the laser eye surgery. Sinead O Donovan was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and informative. I was very nervous and i found her to be reassuring and supportive. The after care visits were excellent. I would and have recommended Optilase. I love the fact that i doesn't need to wear glasses...

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 2 years ago on Google
    Laser Vision Correction process and actual surgery went extremely well. All the staff at Optilase, Opera Lane are so helpful and really put you at ease during the surgery. They prioritise health and suitability before taking any extreme measures which is great. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and couldn't recommend the surgery more!!

  • 5/5 Louise W. 1 year ago on Google
    Was absolutely thrilled with the results of my surgery almost 4 years ago now. I was about to travel solo around South and Central America and felt much more confident about it. I love being able to wear just any sunglasses and not need prescription. Water activities like snorkeling are so much more enjoyable. I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering it

  • 5/5 Ann L. 1 year ago on Google
    I had my laser eye surgery done with Optilase over 8 years ago. I cannot thank them enough for their professional patient care at the time of my surgery. My vision since has been perfect however I was reassured that if I had any problems I could contact the clinic for advice. The best decision I ever made was choosing Optilase for my surgery, the results are truly amazing.

  • 5/5 Marie C. 1 year ago on Google
    I want to say a huge thank you to all the staff of Optilase Cork. I had the best experience. The procedure only took 8 minutes and my vision was perfect immediately! The after care I have received has been so reassuring. I recommend Optilase Cork to anyone looking who wish to make the best decision of their lives!!

    Had Lasek performed on both eyes, the next morning my vision was perfect, no pain either. Everything was explained in great detail beforehand and the care was excellent, I really felt I was in safe hands. I'd highly recommend Optilase for laser eye surgery, and the team in Cork are all lovely to deal with and very professional

    Have had such a great experience at Optilase in cork on Opera Lane. Everyone has been so helpful and is always on hand to answer and questions you may have. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. I am very happy with the service provided to me. Couldn’t be more grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Would 100% recommend

  • 5/5 Laura W. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had my laser eye surgery in Cork but my pre and post surgery appointments in the Dublin clinic. The whole process was exceptional. The staff in both locations were so welcoming and informative and make you feel at ease. The surgery itself was quick and painless. My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner.

  • 5/5 Clodagh R. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I had LASIK done with Optilase Cork in July. The whole process was smooth and quick, from the initial assessment to booking the surgery on a date that suited me. I was so nervous about the actual procedure but the staff really put me at ease and it was so quick and pain free in the end! Optilase is very attentive and I felt very well looked after with regular check ups. My vision is perfect now and it has improved my life so much. I couldn’t get over how the quick the recovery was… I had no pain other than a stinging sensation in the eyes (like cutting an onion!) for a few hours after. I would really recommend Optilase to anyone considering to get laser eye surgery. The staff are lovely and I felt really well cared for. Thank you!

    The entire experience was remarkably seamless. The consultation, which was both free and straightforward, involved a thorough check to ensure my suitability for the surgery. The actual procedure, typically anxiety-inducing, unfolded effortlessly. The surgical staff operated with efficiency, akin to a well-oiled machine, creating a reassuring atmosphere. Despite the initial discomfort of blurred vision and stinging drops during the first 24 hours of recovery, these issues vanished completely by the next morning. In retrospect, the entire process proved to be well worth it.
