Brilliant service and skills

Mr Anderson was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. He gave balanced advice and the procedure went very well. Intraocular lens insertion was a good fit for me due to my Inflammatory Bowel Disease and dry eyes.

Mr David Anderson

I can’t praise Mr Anderson and Anderson Eye Care highly enough. I have had deteriorating vision for years but on 23rd August at the Wessex Nuffield, Mr Anderson performed left and right eye refractive cataract surgery with trifocal lens implants and I am thrilled with the results. I have regained 20/20 vision and my eyes are structurally sound.

Mr Anderson came highly recommended and rightly so. The care, expertise and professionalism he showed before during and after the operation was outstanding. My quality of life has improved enormously as a result

Anderson Eyecare were amazing

Anderson Eyecare were amazing, my daughter and I did this together (a different type of laser treatment required for each of us) in July. We are both so pleased, no more costly daily contact lenses, no more hunting around for glasses and worrying about packing enough lenses on holiday. Mr Anderson was very calming, answered every question so diligently and made this process so quick and efficient. We would highly recommend Anderson Eyecare and now wish we had done this years ago!

Lens replacement surgery

I recently had lens replacement surgery at Anderson Eye Care, Eastleigh. Mr Anderson was highly recommended by a previous patient. I booked a consultation as I was finding wearing glasses increasingly inconvenient .
Mr Anderson talked me through basic eye anatomy and the causes of eye deterioration as we age. We then discussed my lifestyle and the choice of lens that would suit me. The surgical procedure was explained and a very thorough eye examination followed. For the surgery I was offered local or general anaesthetic. I chose to be fully awake during the procedure which was quick and miraculously pain free. Immediately after surgery I was free from glasses with perfect vision. Incredible.
It has been 10 weeks post surgery and it has been life changing for me. Every day feels like a miracle.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Anderson whose professionalism, attention to detail and friendly demeanour instil a sense of calm and confidence. All members of his team are so caring and friendly too. 100% recommend.

Life changing procedure

I am now over 6 months post surgery and it has been life changing! Being able to see without glasses since I was 6yrs, enjoying a trip to the beach for the first time has been amazing. Only have good words to say about both Mr Anderson and his team. Best decision I have made. My neighbour is following my advice and hopefully going ahead with surgery too.

Mr Anderson understood my nervousness…

Mr Anderson understood my nervousness given the post-operative problems I had had ten years previously with my left eye. He understood why I had put off for as long as I could (as advised by the medical specialist group monitoring my eye condition), the cataract surgery now needed on my right eye. Most importantly, he saw my clear need, having got to the point of rapid deterioration and severely reduced sight, for a rapid intervention.

He agreed to undertake the surgery without delay. The cataract was, as I was told afterwards, a dense brunescent - not the easiest, I am told to deal with.

The surgery and post surgery recovery were painless and almost immediately, post-operation my vision appeared to be almost back to normal. Within two weeks I had 20/20 vision in the eye. I do not think I could have asked for more.

I cannot commend the work of Mr Anderson and of the other staff at the Wessex Hospital enough. The whole process was very professional.

Outstanding result, would highly recommend!

I would 100% recommend Anderson Eye Care. The whole process from the initial consultation through to the procedure and follow ups was brilliant. Every step was explained clearly by Mr Anderson and his fabulous team. I felt confident throughout and the result from my laser eye surgery is nothing short of a miracle. I wore contact lenses for 27 years for short sight and more recently reading glasses for long sight and now I don’t need either! Thank you Mr Anderson as you can tell I am delighted with the result!

Bilateral Cataract Surgery

I cannot recommend Anderson Eye Care more highly. David Anderson and his team are highly professional, caring and supportive. I can honestly say that my bilateral cataract surgery has transformed my life. I am able to see clearly, drive at night and even thread a needle!

I would like to offer one piece of advice, if you need cataract surgery, don't put it off. It's completely understandable to be nervous about eye surgery, but David Anderson will put you at ease and will explain the procedure clearly and professionally. The after care is also exemplary.

I am now enjoying life with 20/20 vision after recently undergoing ReLEx SMILE to correct my shortsightedness (-6.50) and astigmatism.
I received seamless, first class treatment all the way. You couldn’t ask for a better surgeon than David Anderson, he is extremely knowledgeable and personable and put me at ease throughout my patient journey.
The procedure was painless and anyone who enjoys sci fi will find it fascinating.
I was provided with plenty of aftercare - quite an intensive eye drop schedule but I followed it to the letter and enjoyed a fast and thorough healing process. Lastly, The Wessex Nuffield Hospital itself deserves a mention . The building is clean, relaxing, and the staff are both friendly and professional.

Excellent at every stage of the process from booking an initial consultation to having Lens Replacement Surgery to follow-up. David was brilliant as was the rest of his team.

I have keratoconus and have previously only been able to function when wearing piggyback contact lenses. If I was unable to wear them for any reason I was effectively blind. Now, my sight is so improved that I can manage with just glasses

Mr Anderson carried out surgery on both…

Mr Anderson carried out surgery on both my eyes on 12 April.

I was very anxious at the thought of having any surgery to my eyes. However I was very aware that something had to be done to improve my sight now and for the future.

At our initial meeting Mr Anderson took on board my concerns. He was very professional and caring and listened to all I had to say. He made recommendations for my surgery and explained in very understandable terms the reasons for making them, answering my questions as we went along. I felt that I was in safe hands and was completely reassured.

Having had the surgery I have to say that I now realise that I had nothing to be anxious about – easy to say in hindsight, I know. I can now see better than I have been able to in 50 years and wish that I had undergone the surgery earlier.

Thank you Mr Anderson, you are a complete star. Thank you also to your lovely team who dealt with my queries quickly and efficiently with reassurance I needed just before my surgery was due to take place.

What more could patient want from their team of eye specialists??

LASIK eye surgery

Without a doubt the best thing I’ve done,I couldn’t see a thing without my glasses,as soon as Dr Anderson and his team performed the laser surgery I could see.No pain during the procedure and only a little for 24 hours afterwards,cannot speak highly enough of Dr Anderson he’s completely changed my life.

Outstanding care and end result

I had LASIK on both eyes performed by Mr Anderson and could not be happier with the result. Having had severe astigmatism since I was a child, previously I believed that the inconvenience of glasses was just something I had to live with, how wrong I was! As a triathlete, being able to swim, cycle and run, free of glasses is amazing.

The care and expertise of Mr Anderson and the whole team throughout the process has been exemplary. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

Individualised advice and management

Individualised advice and management, good communication. At no point did I feel under pressure to commit to treatment. Mr Anderson was happy for me to have a number of appointments to try out different lenses before I decided which suited my needs best and planned surgery accordingly.

Lens replacement

In 2022 I underwent lens replacement in both eyes. The operation was a success and the staff exceptional.
I saw Mr Anderson again this year for YAG laser treatment to alleviate some clouding of the vision, it was always a possibility this may be needed as was explained at the time of the operation.
This took 15 mins and corrected the problem quickly. As before I had complete confidence in Mr Anderson and am grateful for the treatment. I would highly recommend him.
