I was diagnosed shortly before Xmas 2023 and was seen by Aris within a few days. I was booked in for the first procedure within two weeks. I had two cataracts removed and multi-focal lenses implanted. Aris explained at all times when we met in a calm, friendly and professional way what was involved, the possible risks and likely range of outcomes. During both procedures he explained what he was doing at all stages and reassured me fully. The whole procedure was very relaxed and very professional. He is an extraordinary surgeon and human being having left me with superb vision in both eyes without needing spectacles. Needless to say I am extremely pleased with the results of the surgery.

My fist consultation with Mr Konstantopoulos was very informative and reassuring as was the post op consultation. I can't express how pleased I am withe result.

Aris put me at ease from my first appointment with him, explaining everything very clearly and discussing both the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures available to me in detail. On the day of the operation I was very nervous but Aris was calm, professional, and reassuring. The treatment itself was quick, painless, and a huge success. I was amazed with the speed of my recovery, and I just wish that I had done this sooner! I would not hesitate to recommend Aris to anybody looking to have laser eye surgery.

Explained all about lens replacement, how long it would take, what it involved, with no pressure other than to go away and think about it. A very approachable person that you were happy to ask Any questions that you had.

The outcomes of my cataract procedure have far exceeded my expectations. I call it a “little miracle”; no more blurring, stumbling and juggling of spectacles. In fact, no spectacles at all - even my optician is impressed by the deft workmanship! An added and unexpected bonus has been the improvement in my spatial awareness and therefore balance. My thanks to Mr Konstantinopoulos and his team for a very efficient, caring and professional operation and the gift of good vision.

A superb experience throughout. I was very pleased with each consultation, the information received, and the LASIK procedure. My vision has improved significantly.

I had astigmatism and short-sightedness (myopia). I was initially nervous about having laser eye surgery but Aris helped me to feel calm and he spent as much time as I needed to help answer all of my questions. Aris was very professional in assessing what treatment could get the best results to improve my sight. He recommended the SMILE procedure and explained why, specifically for me, this would be beneficial in comparison to other treatments. He and his colleagues created a welcoming environment right from first consultation, during the SMILE procedure, and all the way through to the end of follow up. I am overly happy that my sight now has better than 20/20 vision and I am no longer suffering from the effects of astigmatism or short-sightedness. I can't recommend Aris and his colleagues enough!

Having recently been treated by Aris and his team I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the outstanding care I was provided. From initial consultation through the procedure and aftercare the experience has been of the highest professional standard. The communication was excellent and the treatment, save one evening of mild discomfort exemplary. Any medical treatment inevitably causes anxiety but Aris puts one at complete ease throughout. I cannot recommend his treatment more highly. You will be in very safe hands 10/10
