He clearly explains complex procedures, including cataract surgery, glaucoma management, laser treatments, and trabeculectomies. Patients report smooth appointments and feel comfortable during visits; some patients mention car parking as an unacceptable and stressful problem.

Very pleased with his management of my Eye problem and his bedside manners.
A highly professional consultant , whose explanation of treatments are in plain language, and the treatments themselves are always carried out to the highest standards.
Everything explained very clearly & thoroughly Made to feel at ease
Everything was well explained and the whole procedure ran very smoothly
I have been seeing Mr. Andreou since my glaucoma diagnosis in March 2023. He always takes the time to explain things clearly and ensures that I fully understand what is going to happen during my appointments and any procedures. He has a calm and thorough approach which has been very reassuring since I have been on my glaucoma jouney
I have referred glaucoma patients to Petros due to first-hand knowledge that he is an experienced and exacting surgeon.
