Anthea has a great depth of experience in Optometry. After graduating from Cardiff University with a First Class degree, she has spent many years working in hospitals across the UK. She still works one day a week at Bournemouth Hospital alongside her work at Leightons Southampton, having joined the branch in 2014. She has particular interest in paediatric work, as well as vast experience in complex contact lens fittings and eye health problems. Outside work, Anthea enjoys travel and walking, and also coordinates the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme in Romsey.
Excellent service, very understanding staff, thorough explanation given when questions asked, nothing too much trouble. Very good delection of frame and staff only too willing to help make the right choice. You would have to go a long way to find better.
Jean Gordon, Stag Gates
