Eye Surgeon for Wimbledon Patients
Wimbledon has an advantage almost nowhere else in this catchment shares: a direct District line service to Baker Street, which puts the Harley Street clinic around half an hour away without a change. Miss Tina Khanam, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, consults there and operates at Spire St Anthony's in Worcester Park, twenty minutes south by car.
Cataract, Lens & Laser Eye Surgery for Wimbledon Patients
Because Wimbledon station is a four-way interchange — District line, South Western Railway, Thameslink and Tramlink — SW19 patients have more genuine choice than most. The District line runs directly to Baker Street, a short walk from Harley Street, with no changes; that makes a central London consultation about as easy as a local one. For the surgery itself and the follow-ups that come after it, Spire St Anthony's at Worcester Park is twenty minutes by car with free parking.
Miss Khanam holds FRCOphth from the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and has more than twenty years in ophthalmology. Her practice covers cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange, LASIK, SMILE, Presbyond and ICL implantation, and corneal disease including keratoconus. She performs all surgery personally, and it is the same consultant whichever site you attend.
Wimbledon divides sharply between the Village at the top of the hill and the town centre below, and the caseload divides with it. The Village and Common side brings an older, cataract-and-lens population; the town centre and Southfields side brings younger professionals asking about laser vision correction and ICL. Both are seen at whichever of the two sites is more convenient.
Your Nearest Clinic from Wimbledon
Getting here
By Tube, the District line runs from Wimbledon directly to Baker Street in around 30 minutes with no changes — Harley Street is a short walk from there, or one stop further to Regent's Park on the Bakerloo line. This is the simplest journey to the central London clinic from anywhere in south-west London.
By car to Spire St Anthony's, take the A219 or A238 south-east to the A24 at Morden, then follow London Road through North Cheam — the hospital is at number 801, roughly twenty minutes. By rail, Worcester Park is reachable by changing at Raynes Park or Motspur Park.
Parking
Free patient parking at Spire St Anthony's. Around Harley Street the Congestion Charge applies and parking is metered — which is why most Wimbledon patients take the District line into town and drive south for surgery.

Eye Care in Wimbledon
Wimbledon is really two places. The Village, up the hill by the Common, is affluent, low-rise and long-settled, with Cannizaro Park and the Common on its doorstep. The town centre below is a busy transport interchange with the Centre Court shopping centre and a large flow of commuters. The tennis fortnight aside, it is a stable residential area with a broad age range, and the clinic sees the full spread as a result.
Wimbledon is in the London Borough of Merton, with NHS eye referrals typically going to St George's University Hospitals in Tooting or to Epsom & St Helier. Both are substantial units and waiting times differ between them. Patients generally choose private care here for date certainty and continuity of surgeon, and for procedures the NHS does not offer at all — laser vision correction, ICL, Presbyond, and premium lens implants at the time of cataract surgery.

Questions from Wimbledon Patients
The District line straight to Baker Street, around 30 minutes with no changes, then a short walk. It is one of the simplest journeys into the medical district from south-west London.
Usually at Spire St Anthony's in Worcester Park, about twenty minutes by car, where parking is free and where the follow-up appointments are much easier to attend. Many Wimbledon patients consult in central London and have the procedure locally.
No. You must not travel home alone after an operation, and you will need someone to collect you by car. This is the main practical reason surgery is generally arranged at the Worcester Park site rather than in town.
Often yes — lenses and sport are a poor combination, particularly for swimming and contact sports. LASIK, SMILE and ICL all remove the problem, and which is suitable depends on your prescription and corneal shape rather than on your preference.
For laser vision correction, typically a few weeks from consultation to surgery, with reviews over the following months. For cataract surgery on both eyes, expect two to three months overall, since the second eye follows a few weeks after the first.
No — you can book a consultation directly, and we will write to your GP afterwards if you would like.
