Areas We Serve
Eye Surgeon for Morden Patients
From Morden it is a straight run down the A24 to Spire St Anthony's Hospital — about ten minutes with no turns worth mentioning. Miss Tina Khanam, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, holds clinics and operates there, covering cataract surgery, lens replacement, laser vision correction and corneal disease for patients across SM4.
Cataract, Lens & Laser Eye Surgery for Morden Patients
Morden has one of the simplest journeys of any area we serve. London Road becomes the A24 and runs south through North Cheam, and Spire St Anthony's is on that road at number 801 — roughly ten minutes by car outside rush hour. Compared with the alternative of going north into central London for private eye surgery, it saves the better part of a day on each of the four or five visits a full treatment involves.
Miss Khanam is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon with FRCOphth and more than twenty years in the specialty. She performs cataract and lens replacement surgery, LASIK, SMILE, Presbyond and ICL, and treats corneal conditions including keratoconus. Every operation is carried out by her personally, and the same consultant reviews you afterwards.
Morden's position at the end of the Northern line makes it a genuinely mixed area, and the clinic sees that mix: retired residents from the streets around Morden Hall Park coming for cataract surgery, and younger commuters — who could easily go into town but would rather not — coming for laser vision correction and ICL.
Your Nearest Clinic from Morden
Getting here
By car, follow London Road (A24) south from Morden town centre through North Cheam. Spire St Anthony's is on the right at 801 London Road, about ten minutes. It is effectively one road the whole way, which makes it an easy journey for someone being driven after surgery.
By public transport, Morden is the southern terminus of the Northern line and a major bus interchange. The 470 and 213 routes run down London Road towards the hospital. Morden Road tram stop connects to Wimbledon and Croydon on Tramlink for patients coming from further afield.
Parking
Free patient parking on site at Spire St Anthony's. Neither the hospital nor the A24 route from Morden falls inside the Congestion Charge zone, and there is no ULEZ boundary to cross.

Eye Care in Morden
Morden grew rapidly after the Northern line was extended here in 1926, and much of the housing dates from that inter-war expansion. It remains a working, unpretentious part of south London with a strong transport interchange at its centre and Morden Hall Park providing a large area of green space along the Wandle. The population is genuinely mixed by age and background, and the clinic caseload reflects that rather than skewing to one procedure.
Morden is in the London Borough of Merton, and NHS eye care locally is split between St George's University Hospitals in Tooting and Epsom & St Helier, depending on referral. Waits for routine cataract surgery differ between the two and shift through the year. Patients generally come to us for continuity and choice — one named consultant throughout, a date that suits them, and the full range of lens implants rather than a standard monofocal.

Questions from Morden Patients
Follow London Road (the A24) south through North Cheam — Spire St Anthony's is at 801 London Road, about ten minutes by car. The 470 and 213 buses also run along that road.
You can — Miss Khanam also consults at Harley Street. But for surgery and follow-ups most Morden patients prefer the hospital, because you cannot travel home alone after an operation and a ten-minute car journey is far easier than a Tube trip.
Possibly — it depends on your prescription, corneal thickness and shape, and your eye health. LASIK, SMILE and ICL are all offered. A detailed assessment at the consultation determines which, if any, is right for you, and there is no pressure to proceed.
You are given direct contact details and seen urgently if needed — by Miss Khanam, not a triage line. Continuity of care is the point of a consultant-led practice, and it matters most when something is not going to plan.
For cataract or lens surgery most people return to desk work within a few days. Laser vision correction is often quicker still. Manual or dusty work needs longer, and you will be given specific advice for your job at the consultation.
