Optimax brings clear vision to Liverpool and beyond. Founded in 1991, we have performed over 750,000 treatments across 19 clinics nationwide, offering approximately 800 treatment appointments each week. This extensive experience and reach ensures affordable eye correction treatments are accessible to more people than ever before. For those seeking laser eye surgery in Liverpool and the UK, Optimax is a first choice.
Our success began with Russell Ambrose, who, inspired by the positive results of laser eye surgery in London teaching hospitals, established Optimax as one of the first private clinics to offer this life-changing treatment. Russell himself was our first patient, experiencing first-hand the freedom from glasses and contact lenses. He reflects on the transformative impact of the procedure, often forgetting he ever wore glasses for over 30 years. This personal experience fuels our commitment to providing exceptional vision correction.
Russell’s dedication has driven Optimax to become the UK’s leading laser eye specialist. Witnessing patients’ reactions after treatment makes our work incredibly rewarding. Our company’s growth is a testament to the dedication of our staff and the positive word-of-mouth from satisfied patients who have experienced life-changing vision correction. Optimax continues to expand, with plans to open more clinics nationwide, ensuring more people can access our services. This commitment to growth is further evidenced by Russell’s wife having treatment in 1993 and his son, Simon Ambrose (winner of BBC’s The Apprentice), undergoing LASEK treatment in 2002, coinciding with our 100,000th treatment.
At Optimax Eye Clinics, our focus is on enhancing patients’ quality of life through world-class eye care. We are committed to delivering exceptional vision correction solutions, utilising cutting-edge technology, and fostering a culture of compassion and excellence.

The actual laser treatment takes only a few seconds per eye. The entire process, including preparation, takes about 20-30 minutes.
Most patients experience rapid visual recovery. You may experience some mild discomfort or blurry vision for the first few hours, but most people can return to normal activities within a day or two.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks. These will be discussed in detail during your consultation. However, laser eye surgery is generally considered very safe and effective.
The cost of laser eye surgery varies depending on the type of treatment and your individual prescription. We offer various payment plans to make treatment more affordable. We recommend booking a free consultation to receive a personalised quote.
We provide comprehensive aftercare, including follow-up appointments and eye drops. We will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your eyes after surgery.
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 days after surgery, depending on their occupation.
You will be advised when it is safe to drive again during your aftercare appointments. This is usually within a few days, after your vision has stabilised and you meet the legal driving requirements.
