“I have worn thick glasses or contact lenses since I was a baby and did not know what it felt like to open my eyes in the morning and see properly. Over the last 5 years Mr Anderson has gently helped me through various eye problems getting me to the point where lens replacement was possible with advances in technology and I was at the right age. Whilst demonstrating gentle understanding he is always professional and technically exceptionally skilled. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Every morning I still reach for my glasses before it dawns on me that I can see . Yippee I can see!”
“When my son was finally diagnosed with Keratoconus by our local specialist we were of course very upset for him. He was just about to embark on a career in film and this came a a great shock to all of us. We first met David at one of his associated Clinics and he advised that one of my sons right eye needed urgent treatment to halt this progressive condition before it was too late. We agreed a date and my son and I went to his Wessex Clinic. Our treatment and aftercare could not have been bettered, the attention David and his staff gave us was second to none. The CXL went extremely well and our sons worst eye has been stopped from degenerating any more, a great relief. We waited 8 months to get the other eye sorted and we were given the same personal care and treatment. As this eye was not as bad as the other my son has regained about 10% more sight. Both eyes healed well with the guidance and care we were given. Despite the difficulties this condition has brought we have been given confidence that my son can now build on the sight he has now and take remedial steps with lenses and glasses to take up his chosen career once again. To anyone thinking of having this done, please don't hesitate book it now. It is not painless but the aftercare treatment that David and his staff give help to nullify the pain with regular use of eye drops. The procedure itself is quick and my son says that part isn't painful. The relief for my son and for us knowing that this condition has been halted is brilliant. We can't recommend David enough.”
“No praise is high enough to describe my experience of having both cataracts done by David Anderson. Everything was explained from the beginning, and the two procedures were completely painless. Within a couple of days my sight was restored to how I remember it many years ago.”
“He made me feel important, answering all my questions very patiently.prel and post op.l was extremely nervous ,but felt relaxed before going into surgery because of the confidence his confident manner gave me.”
“Brilliant results, wish I'd had the interocular lenses years ago for my shortsightedness, rather than wait till cataracts prompted me. Felt very confident in the treatment and advice given by Mr Anderson.”
“I have been very short sighted {minus 9-minus 10} all my life and have needed to wear contact lenses or glasses all day. Amazingly now ,at the age of 55 , I do not need to wear glasses at all, not even for reading. My life {as well as my sight} has been changed completely. I would recommend David Anderson to anyone thinking of having treatment on their eyes. Everything was explained very clearly and everything happened exactly as he said it would. The care throughout was professional and thorough.”
“David Anderson came recommended and I am happy to pass this on. His professionalism and extensive experience provide the essential reassurance needed before embarking on eye surgery. The follow up is as thorough as the preparation and the results have been impressive.”
“Mr Anderson provides a thorough and attentive experience. The Cataract Surgery he carried out on my eyes went superbly with easy and quick recovery. The result is that I can see distance without the need for glasses or contact lenses - the first time I have been able to do so since I was a teenager (over 40 years ago)!”
“Dr Anderson provided an all round excellent treatment when I had my corneal cross linking procedure. He was very clear and concise in explaining the problem with my eyes in appointments leading up to the operation. He was very reassuring whilst undergoing the procedure which I was awake for and under local anesthetic. I was really glad that each step was explained to me so there were no surprises. I found the operation only mildly uncomfortable which was to be expected but was very impressed with Dr Anderson's professionalism, knowledge and care. I am still seeing Dr Anderson for yearly check ups and am thrilled the cross linking procedure has been successful.”
“I had laser eye surgery under Mr Anderson 2 months ago now. I have better than 20:20 vision. My initial consultation and follow up have been exceptional. I am a doctor my self so know what quality service is. And this is it. Highly recommended.”
“I was a patient of David's having laser eye surgery and am now a colleague of his. I can highly recommend David. He is a skilful surgeon and is naturally a details person. He gives truly bespoke solutions for refractive surgery.”
“I had such a positive experience. Mr Anderson explained exactly what he deemed necessary to correct my eyesight and the reasons why. He also explained the possible risks involved. At no time did I feel in any way pressured to agree to the procedure. The actual operations were quick and painless and within a day or two I could not only see but could read without glasses for the first time in 60 years. I'm delighted with the results and would recommend Mr Anderson without reservation.”
“I had LASIK (laser eye surgery) performed in October 2014 by Mr Anderson. Throughout the whole journey, pre operative and post operative, he has been kind caring and professional. Nothing is too much trouble, even any niggling concerns I have had, he has been right on hand to be able to advise me further.”
“I had cataract operations on each eye in the space of two months. I had expected the operation to be an uncomfortable experience, but it wasn't, with Mr Anderson being very clear and relaxing during the process. I'm really delighted with the result! If you need the procedure, you couldn't do better.”
“After recommendations from other patients I knew and trusted, and researching his credentials (which are extensive and impressive), I chose Mr Anderson to treat my left eye, which had previously been badly lasered by another surgeon. I am glad I did, as I am very pleased with the results and the top-notch care I received before, during and after the treatment. You only have two eyes; it's worth getting the very best treatment you can afford. My only regret is that I did not go to Mr. Anderson first.”
“I had my eyes lasered in January 2014 by David Anderson. It's the best thing I've ever done. I had to wear glasses for everything and now I only need to wear a pair of 'off the shelf' reading glasses for really small print. This is because I wanted to used my computer without using glasses and I play sport and didn't want to worry about glasses whilst playing. The process was painless, I was talked through the whole process, I knew exactly what was going on and kept informed at every step. The after care was second to none. I didn't feel 'stupid' asking all the questions I had and they were answered in a language I could understand, no 'doctor jargon'. I would highly recommend this company.”
“I had laser eye surgery at Optegra Solent in August 2015 with Mr Anderson. I had been considering this treatment for some time and finally plucked up the courage. I went to one of their Open Evenings and had a look around the hospital. I booked a free consultation a couple of weeks later. At no time did anyone phone or email me, I was left to make the decision in my own time whether or not to proceed. It was agreed that I would benefit from having mono vision - not everyone is suitable for this - and I was advised to trial it using a contact lens which I had prescribed by Mr Anderson and dispensed by my optician. A few weeks later I had the surgery. It was pain-free, during and after. The staff were incredible and the follow-up care is superb. I now have better than 20/20 vision and don't need glasses after 37 years of being short-sighted. My only regret is that I didn't have this done years ago - it has transformed my life. Thank you Mr Anderson and the team at Solent Optegra.”
“From my initial consultation through to my final check up I could not have been in better hands. During my first consultation Dr Anderson explained the procedure to me clearly (he even had a big eyeball model to show me exactly what is done!) He answered all my questions and I came out feeling very confident in wanting the surgery done. Having surgery to your eyes is undoubtedly very nerve wracking. I am also a BIG worrier!!! When surgery day came, my mum, who came with me, even mentioned how calm I was and I truly believe this was because I knew I was in such safe hands with Dr Anderson. Throughout the surgery Dr Anderson talk me through everything he was doing. In what was obviously quite a scary time, this really helped me as I knew exactly what was happening and what was about to happen, it really put me at ease. Having Lasik is the best thing I have done and I am constantly recommending it to all my friends and family. More importantly I cannot recommend Dr Anderson enough!!”
“It is a daunting experience and most peculiar sensation having eye surgery. However if all surgeons and teams are as good and caring as Anderson Eye Care we can be assured of a pain free and quite amazing result. My eye sight was particularly poor and I now see better than ever in my life. My local optician said it was the best result he had ever seen. I felt reassured and safe through the whole experience.”
“Following laser surgery many years previously, to repair torn retinas (both eyes), and thereafter cataract procedures, to rectify the effects of the lasers (as had been foreseen), I was left with good but not perfect vision. I approached David Anderson on recommendation of my optician, to explore the possibility of profiling the front of the corneas, to adjust the eyes to distant vision. Over a period of some months that was very satisfactorily achieved by David, providing vision that out-performs most of my peers and many much younger people. His care, skill and interest in the patient made the entire experience both understandable and stress-free. Follow-up examinations, to ensure all had continued to go well, were undertaken with the same unhurried attention. Supported by other, equally dedicated, colleagues and a suite of state-of-the-art equipment, I would have no hesitation in recommending David's clinic and team, (or returning, though I very much doubt I shall need to!)”
