Consultant eye surgeon Mr David Anderson provides laser eye surgery, cataract surgery and lens treatments at our Hampshire clinic, based at Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh. We care for patients from right across the county, from Winchester and Romsey to Eastleigh, Fareham and beyond.
Our Hampshire base is the Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital on Winchester Road in Chandlers Ford, just off junction 12 of the M3 and within easy reach of Eastleigh, Winchester and Romsey. Every stage of your treatment takes place here, from your first consultation and assessment through to surgery and follow-up. There is generous free parking on site, so getting to your appointment is straightforward whether you are driving in from central Hampshire or from further across the county.
Treatments carried out at our Hampshire clinic include:
Because your assessments, surgery and aftercare all happen under one roof, you are looked after by the same team from start to finish.
In 2018 Anderson Eye Care opened a permanent Zeiss laser suite at Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital, the first of its kind in the South of England. It lets us offer the latest vision-correction procedures, including SMILE and PRESBYOND alongside LASIK and LASEK (also known as ASA), all from a single Hampshire location. The same suite supports advanced therapeutic treatments such as topography-guided laser and ICR surgery for conditions like keratoconus. Facilities of this standard exist at only a handful of sites across the UK.
Our laser facility sits within Nuffield Hospital Wessex which consistently wins accolades for safety and quality:
Cataract and intra-ocular surgery can be carried out as a day case or in-patient stay, and if both eyes need treating we can schedule the procedures a few days apart, so you can choose to travel home between them or stay locally for both. There is no medical restriction on flying straight after cataract surgery or laser vision correction.
Our Hampshire clinic operates from Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital on Winchester Road, Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh (SO53 2DW). It sits just off junction 12 of the M3, making it straightforward to reach whether you're driving in from Winchester, Romsey, Southampton or further up the motorway. There's ample free parking directly on site, so you won't need to budget for car parks or hunt for a space before your appointment.
Because of the central M3 location, we see patients from right across the county - Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford, Winchester, Romsey, Fareham, Andover and Basingstoke - as well as those travelling in from Southampton, the New Forest and over the borders from Dorset, Wiltshire and Surrey. The clinic is positioned as a single, well-connected base for eye surgery across central and south Hampshire.
The full range of Mr David Anderson's procedures is carried out here: cataract surgery, laser eye surgery (LASIK, LASEK, SMILE and PRESBYOND), lens replacement (RLE), ICL surgery, corneal transplant and corneal collagen cross-linkage (CXL), alongside consultations, assessments and aftercare. The clinic is home to a permanent Zeiss laser suite - the first of its kind in the South of England - which also allows advanced therapeutic options such as topography-guided laser and ICR surgery for conditions like keratoconus.
Yes. The Hampshire clinic is recognised by all the major UK medical insurers, including BUPA, AXA, Aviva, Allianz, Cigna, Vitality, WPA and others. If you'd prefer to fund treatment yourself, self-pay options are available too - our team can talk you through what your specific policy or budget covers before you commit.
Most laser and cataract procedures are carried out as a day case, so the majority of patients travel home the same day. If you are having both eyes treated, we can space the procedures a few days apart and you can choose to return home between them or stay locally - there is no medical restriction on flying after cataract surgery or laser vision correction. If you would prefer to stay overnight, you will find nearby accommodation options in the local area guide below.
