Had my in-depth initial assessment with Mr Anderson and was booked a few weeks later for the removal of my cataracts. It was a momentous moment after the operation to be able to see. The staff were polite and courteous and helpful and the operation was quick and the aftercare was amazing. Mr Anderson is amazing his knowledge is never ending and he can relate to your individual needs. I felt ant ease at all times and assured I was under the best care at all times. It is the best decision I ever made under the care of the best.
All fears allayed from the off. Lens optioned fully discussed and final choice left with patient. Procedure fully explained, responded to my concerns with regard to local for eye surgery and a general was used. Spoke with Mr Anderson and Anaesthetist prior to procedure and pre and post procedure care was exemplary
I had exceptional care from Mr. Anderson with an excellent outcome. I had explained that I was mildly claustrophobic. Mr. Anderson explained how he could accommodate my concerns which alleviated my worries and Indeed I had no problems at all during my cataract operation. Thank you to all the team who were both professional and kind. Janine Casey
Overall care. Politeness of staff and checking that I was happy with my decision and taking care of all my needs.
Mr Anderson was very professional at made me feel very at ease through the procedure.
Over the moon with the results.
I felt at ease .
I had heard very good things about Mr Anderson which gave me great confidence.
My experience with Anderson Eye Care was very good. Mr Anderson was charming and helpful and the Nuffield Wessex hospital was excellent and all the staff were lovely. The end result from my cataract procedure was amazing and I now have perfect vision and no longer need glasses.
It was a bit of a nuisance and added expense to have to leave Jersey for the procedure but the end result outweighed the inconvenience.
One small thing that would have been helpful would have been to have had a bit more information on the procedure and exactly what was being put in my eyes. I did a fair amount of research myself to find out more about it and I learnt a lot from the internet. However, there might be some patients who are totally unprepared or may not understand what is involved.
My overall experience was wonderful and my thanks go to Mr Anderson and his team. My new vision is life changing.
Thank you SO much.

After years of struggling with reading glasses and not getting on with varifocals, I considered the option of lens replacement.
David Anderson was highly recommended by a family friend, who is a retired ophthalmic surgeon, so I knew I was in expert hands.
David listened to my issues and daily lifestyle and offered the best solution so that I would be free of glasses. He has a lovely calm and friendly manner, and knowing he's extremely knowledgeable and experienced put me at ease.
Having said that, I was extremely nervous about the procedure and initially thought I would need sedation, but as the date approached I changed my mind and I'm pleased I did, as it was completely painless with just the drops and very quick. I had both eyes done at the same time, yet I was able to walk out of the hospital an hour later.
I'm now delighted with my new vision, and haven't picked up a pair of glasses since, apart from my sunglasses.
If you're considering lens replacement I highly recommend David Anderson and his team.
Mr Anderson and all the staff were personable and professional which leads to a calm environment and confidence emanates from that. Everything was explained before it was carried out and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The facilities were modern and clean.
The procedure was quick (about 15-20mins/eye) and completely pain free.
Excellent advice, information, treatment, care and follow up care provided by Mr Anderson and his team.
Mr Anderson is highly skilled, helpful and approachable answering all questions and providing excellent eye treatment and results.
Highly recommended. Five stars!

All your well-wishers need an update, and you send them a text. Yesterday, texting required +4.5 prescription glasses now it needs no glasses and it’s only an hour after the procedure.
From your room back to your room is less than 45 minutes. Less than an hour later and you are going home.
Before during and after the operation, the pain score on a scale of 1 to 5 was zero.
The most surprising thing was that you can always see. Only the light he has you focusing on, but you can see it.
Another surprising thing was I could blink. Obviously, I could not blink the eye being operated on, but my mind thought I did and there was no discomfort.
The whole team is well practiced in making it stress free and I felt pampered throughout.
If you are going to do it eventually then do it sooner rather than later you will not regret it.

I was extremely nervous about having my double cateract/lense replacement surgery but Mr Anderson was recommended to me because of his empathy and understanding of the difficulties of being highly myopic and from our first consultation I was not disappointed.
The level of care and understanding was exceptional and Mr Anderson took the time to listen to my concerns and then explain how my particular issues could be addressed. He was straight forward, clear and reassuring.
My vision after the procedures has been significantly improved and the whole process has been life changing with a dramatic reduction in my vision prescription.

I was referred to Anderson Eye Care by my optician for cataracts and I must say what a fantastic professional service.
Mr Anderson having first examined my eyes explained in simple terms what my options were and reassured be that the op would be painless. As a result I chose to have both eyes done at the same time. Having now had the op he was not wrong, totally painless and no need to be anaesthetised just local drops in each eye
I have already recommended him to my sister. You won’t find better

David is a sympathetic listener aiming for the best outcome for his patients.
He’s given me perfect vision with trifocal lenses overcoming bad long sightedness and cataracts.
The unexpected bonus was restoring my balance to that of my youth. I had put my increasing doderiness down to age but when I went for a walk on Day 3 after the op I found that my old surefootedness had returned. This was also reflected in my driving, I now know exactly where the car is on the road and my confidence in driving accurately day and night, has returned.
A great result.

I highly recommend Anderson Eye Care. Mr Anderson and his team were professional and friendly throughout the initial consultation, during the procedure and in follow up appointments. I initially thought I would require lens replacement but Mr Anderson assured me that I only needed lasik laser surgery in one eye to get the outcome I wanted. A big financial saving for me and a perfect end result. If you’re reading this review and feeling anxious about eye surgery, don’t be you will be in very good hands.

I rate this service a perfect 10! My entire experience with Anderson Eye Care was flawless from beginning to end. From my initial meeting with David, I felt completely comfortable. His vast knowledge, calming demeanor, and attentive nature during the consultation made sure all my queries were addressed thoroughly. I was treated at Nuffield Hospital in Chandlers Ford, where the staff were equally as wonderful, providing excellent care. Throughout the surgery, David's attentiveness and reassurance kept me at ease, ensuring my comfort at every step. For anyone anxious or uncertain about the procedure, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with David. You'll walk away feeling assured and ready to proceed. I am thrilled with the outcome—just 24 hours post-surgery, I can see perfectly with 20/20 vision, and I couldn't be happier with my decision!

My vision was severely impaired from birth due to high axial myopia (-12+) and astigmatism, and cataracts only worsened the situation. Mr. David Anderson was recommended to me, and he suggested IQ lens implants. The surgery was completely pain-free, and within a day, my eyesight was remarkably clear and vibrant, with an impressive field of view. The level of care from start to finish was outstanding, with every team member being exceptionally friendly, well-informed, and attentive. I wholeheartedly suggest Anderson Eyecare to anyone experiencing eye issues.

Full confidence in Mr Anderson and he made me feel relax about the whole procedure. He was very clear about what to expect on the day. The surgery went very well and the after care was also excellent. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I recently had refractive lens replacement surgery at this clinic and the whole experience has been outstanding from the start to the finish.
My surgeon, Mr. Anderson and his entire clinical team were truly first class, professional, reassuring and incredibly skilled.
Every step of the process was clearly explained and I felt completely cared for throughout. The results have been life-changing and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I'm so grateful for the exceptional care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone considering treatment.

10/10 service. I could not fault my experience with Anderson Eye Care at all, from the very start of my journey with David I felt totally at ease. He is really knowledgeable, calming and understanding and goes through everything very thoroughly at the consultation to ensure you do not leave with any unanswered questions. I was treated at Nuffield Hospital in Chandlers Ford and all the staff there are wonderful too, always making sure you are looked after. During the surgery David was amazing, very attentive and made sure i was okay and comfortable throughout the whole procedure. I strongly recommend anyone who is feeling nervous or unsure about having the surgery to book in with David for a consultation and you are sure to come out feeling positive and ready to go ahead! I have no regrets what so ever and can now see perfectly with 20/20 vision only 24 hours after surgery!
