Eye Surgeon for Raynes Park Patients
Raynes Park sits between Wimbledon and New Malden with Bushey Road running south towards Worcester Park — which puts Spire St Anthony's Hospital about fifteen minutes away. Miss Tina Khanam, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, holds clinics and operates there, covering cataract surgery, lens replacement, laser vision correction and corneal treatment for SW20.
Cataract, Lens & Laser Eye Surgery for Raynes Park Patients
Raynes Park's geography works in its favour. The A298 Bushey Road runs south-east from the station towards Morden and the A24, and from there Spire St Anthony's is a short run down London Road — around fifteen minutes in normal traffic. The alternative for private eye surgery is central London, which is perfectly reachable by train but considerably less practical when you are being collected after an operation or returning for the third follow-up in a fortnight.
Miss Khanam is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon holding FRCOphth, with over twenty years in ophthalmology. She carries out cataract and lens replacement surgery, LASIK, SMILE, Presbyond and ICL, and treats corneal conditions including keratoconus — performing every procedure herself rather than delegating to a rotating surgical list.
SW20 has a strong family and professional population, and the two most common reasons Raynes Park patients get in touch are at opposite ends of life: parents in their forties noticing their reading vision going, and older residents whose optician has mentioned early cataract. Both are straightforward to assess and both have more options than most people expect.

Getting here
By car, take Bushey Road (A298) south-east towards Morden, join the A24 London Road southbound, and continue through North Cheam — Spire St Anthony's is at 801 London Road, roughly fifteen minutes. An alternative runs via Coombe Lane and Motspur Park, which can be quicker at school times.
By rail, Raynes Park station runs South Western Railway services to London Waterloo in around 20 minutes and to Motspur Park and Worcester Park southbound — Worcester Park is two stops, and the hospital a short taxi ride from there. Wimbledon is one stop north for District line and Tramlink connections.

Eye Care in Raynes Park
Raynes Park is a quieter, more residential neighbour to Wimbledon — largely Edwardian and inter-war housing, with the station and the Bushey Road junction as its focal points and Cannon Hill Common giving it green space to the east. It has a settled family population and a strong contingent of commuters using the fast Waterloo service, and it tends to be a place people move to and stay in rather than pass through.
Raynes Park is in the London Borough of Merton, with NHS ophthalmology referrals typically going to St George's University Hospitals in Tooting or to Epsom & St Helier. Routine cataract waits differ between them and change through the year. Presbyopia treatment and laser vision correction are not NHS services at all, so for those the choice is between private providers rather than between the NHS and private care.

Questions from Raynes Park Patients
By car it is about fifteen minutes: Bushey Road to the A24, then south through North Cheam to 801 London Road. By train, Worcester Park is two stops south and the hospital a short taxi ride from the station.
Almost certainly not — that is presbyopia, the normal age-related stiffening of the lens that starts in the mid-forties. It can be treated with Presbyond laser blended vision or refractive lens exchange. A consultation will confirm the cause and check whether any lens changes are present.
Not necessarily. Early cataract often needs nothing more than monitoring, and surgery is usually driven by how much your vision is affecting daily life rather than by the appearance alone. An honest assessment of whether to wait is part of the consultation.
Often yes. LASIK, SMILE and ICL are all available, and the right one depends on your prescription and the thickness and shape of your cornea. Some people are not suitable for any of them, and you will be told so plainly if that is the case.
Typically four to five per eye: consultation with scans, surgery, a next-day check, then reviews at around two and six weeks. Worth factoring into the travel decision at the outset.
No. You can book directly, and with your consent we will write to your GP after your appointment.
