Eyes on the Community: A Clear Vision of Care at Matheson Optometrists

For over four decades, Matheson Optometrists has been a cornerstone of sensory care in the local community, offering a blend of professional service, cutting-edge technology, and a genuinely personal touch. Established in 1984, this trusted independent business has built a renowned reputation across its locations in Alresford and Grayshott by consistently upholding its core ethos: providing exceptional eye and hearing care for all ages.

At the heart of Matheson Optometrists is a deep commitment to clinical excellence. The practice is known for its comprehensive eye examinations, which go far beyond a simple prescription check. By utilising state-of-the-art equipment, such as OCT scanners, their experienced optometrists can detect potential eye health issues, including glaucoma and macular degeneration, at their earliest and most treatable stages. This advanced diagnostic approach ensures every patient receives the most thorough care possible.

The practice is now delighted to introduce the community to the extensive international expertise of Jose Henao-Calderon. A highly qualified and trusted optometrist, Jose’s journey began in Colombia, where he earned his degree in optometry. His passion for advanced eye care led him to specialise in diagnosing and managing corneal diseases, medical retina, low vision, and complex contact lens fittings. To further his expertise, Jose trained with renowned specialists in the United States, earning a Master’s degree in Visual Sciences, before pursuing a Doctor of Optometry degree at Aston University in the UK.

Now fully qualified in the UK and settled in Hampshire with his family, Jose brings a decade of experience from both private clinics and university lecturing to the practice. He is dedicated to delivering exceptional, state-of-the-art eye care, combining his wealth of knowledge with a commitment to continuous learning.
