I recently had a bilateral cataract operation and would highly recommend Mr. Anandan. I was absolutely delighted with the result and found Mr. Anandan to be extremely competent and very professional with a great bedside manner. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and am very grateful to have had such an excellent surgeon.

I found Mr Anandan to be very professional at all times. He explained to me what he was planning to do and the results that he was hoping to achieve. He did exactly as he stated and at the times he said he would eg follow-up telephone calls. I am very pleased with the result of the procedures that he carried out on me. I also had to ask his secretary some questions, again she was very professional and very prompt with her responses. A good reflection of Mr Anandan’s professional ethos.

Excellent result following monofocal lens replacements. Mr Anandan had explained it was likely I’d need reading glasses to read small print (as I had previous laser surgery many years ago), but I can read my phone, small print and computer following my new lenses so I am very pleased indeed as I wasn’t expecting to do so ! Distance vision still slightly hazy as is common, as only post 4.5 weeks procedure, but should improve in time while the brain is re-calibrating. The difference in both lense prescriptions has given me the best outcome. Excellent skilled surgeon
