About Mr Chrysostomos Dimitriou
Mr. Chrys Dimitriou is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with over 20 years of experience in the treatment and diagnosis of general eye conditions, cataracts, and glaucoma. He sees private patients at the Ramsay Oaks Hospital.
Mr. Dimitriou earned his primary medical qualification and went on to complete his general ophthalmology training at the Royal United Hospital, Bath, in addition to the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford, and The Prince Charles Eyes Unit, Windsor.

He then went on to be the first surgeon to use micro-stents in the treatment of glaucoma and cataracts, including iStent, Baerveldt, CyPass, and XEN45. Since qualifying as an Ophthalmologist, Mr. Dimitriou has become a specialist in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery and laser glaucoma surgery and has performed thousands of surgical procedures of this nature. For his continual development and excellent standard of practice, he was awarded the Level 2 Clinical Excellence award by the East Suffolk and North Essex Trust.

I had varios tests done and he explained in great detail the results. He was very kind and patient.
I have now had MIGS mini-bleb trabeculectomy (Preserflo) op’s on both eyes and I’m very pleased with the outcome of both. He explained my options in detail before them, and has done follow-up tests and explained those results. He’s adjusted the post-op steroid drops to match the progress of my eyes healing. I expect to need no or minimal glaucoma drops for some time as a result of these ops. I feel very fortunate to have such a kind, careful and gifted eye surgeon.
Me Dimitriou is extremely kind and caring and explained everything. Very reassuring.
Very knowledgeable and good explanation of the problem.
Seen early for my appointment. All my concerns were clearly explained to me. Given options for my eye surgery.
As always my consultation with Mr Dimitriou was a very good one. He is very attentive, explains the diagnosis fully and explains the path going forward. I highly recommend him.
