Journey
Both eyes treated over three weeks, scans grouped with the consultation.
Man, 71 — New Forest
Presented with
Blurring returning several years after cataract surgery elsewhere.

How much does lens replacement surgery cost in Southampton?
From £3,200 per eye with a monofocal lens up to £4,800 per eye for a toric trifocal. The Southampton quote is itemised and fixed, covering scans, surgery, 12 months of consultant reviews at Kings Park Road and YAG laser capsulotomy cover.
Where is lens replacement surgery performed in Southampton?
At the Southampton clinic, 16–17 Kings Park Road in the Polygon (SO15 2AT), a six-minute walk from Southampton Central and a short drive from the M27. Consultation, planning and all aftercare take place there.
Do you treat patients from Portsmouth, the New Forest and the Isle of Wight?
Yes. Southampton is the south-coast base for patients from Eastleigh, Winchester, Romsey, Portsmouth, Fareham, the New Forest, Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight — most within 40 minutes, or about an hour door to door via the ferry.
Can the consultation and scans be done in one visit?
Yes, and it is the norm for patients travelling from Dorset or across the Solent: topography, OCT and biometry are all completed in the same 60-minute appointment, and you leave with a written lens recommendation and quote.
Is lens replacement the same as private cataract surgery in Southampton?
The technique is identical — micro-incision phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implant. Cataract surgery removes a cloudy lens; refractive lens exchange replaces a still-clear lens to correct focus and presbyopia. Either way you can never develop a cataract in that eye afterwards.
Can I use private medical insurance for lens replacement near Southampton?
Refractive lens exchange is normally self-pay because it is elective, while cataract surgery is usually covered. Ms Pearsall is recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, WPA, Cigna, Vitality and Healix, and the secretary will tell you honestly which pathway applies before you commit.
Will both eyes be treated on the same day?
No — the second eye normally follows one to two weeks after the first at the Southampton clinic. That allows the second lens power to be refined using the real-world result of the first eye, which improves the accuracy of your final refraction, especially with toric and trifocal lenses.
