Eye Surgeon in Worcester Park
Miss Tina Khanam consults and operates at Spire St Anthony's Hospital on London Road in Worcester Park — so if you live in KT4, your consultant eye surgeon is already on your doorstep. Cataract surgery, lens replacement, laser vision correction and corneal treatment are all carried out here, in the hospital's dedicated ophthalmic theatres, with free parking on site.
Cataract, Lens & Laser Eye Surgery at Spire St Anthony's Hospital
Worcester Park is one of the few places in south London where you do not need to travel into town to see a consultant ophthalmic surgeon. Spire St Anthony's Hospital sits at 801 London Road, at the North Cheam end of the A24, roughly a mile and a half from Worcester Park station. Miss Khanam holds regular clinics here and performs surgery in the hospital's ophthalmic theatres — the same consultant who assesses you is the one who operates and who sees you at every follow-up.
That matters more than it sounds. In much of private ophthalmology you are assessed by an optometrist, operated on by whichever surgeon is on the list, and followed up by someone else again. Here the entire pathway — diagnostics, the surgical decision, the operation itself, and every post-operative check — sits with one consultant. If something needs discussing at three weeks, you are discussing it with the person who did the surgery.
For Worcester Park residents the practical advantages stack up quickly: no Congestion Charge, no ULEZ concerns on the approach, free parking directly outside the hospital, and appointments that can be reached in five minutes rather than an hour. Patients who have had one eye done in central London frequently ask to have the second done here instead.

Eye Care in Worcester Park
Worcester Park is a settled, largely residential suburb built around Central Road and the station, with a population that skews towards families and long-term residents rather than transient renters. That demographic shows in the clinic: a high proportion of cataract and lens replacement patients in their sixties and seventies, often people who have lived in KT4 for decades and who value being able to walk back into a familiar hospital for their check-ups.
Worcester Park sits across the boundaries of Sutton, Kingston and Epsom & Ewell, and NHS ophthalmology locally runs through Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust. Waiting times for routine cataract surgery vary between trusts and change month to month — your GP or the trust's website will have current figures. Many patients come to us not because NHS care is poor but because they want to choose their surgeon, choose their lens, and choose their date.

Everything can be done here — consultation, scans, surgery and all follow-up appointments. Miss Khanam also consults at Harley Street, so you can mix the two if it suits your work, but there is no requirement to travel into London at any point.
