Mr Aris Konstantopoulos

Consultant Eye Surgeon - Ophthalmologist

MB ChB, MSc, FRCOphth, PhD

Specialises in

  • Cataract removal surgery
  • YAG laser surgery
  • Corneal transplantation
  • Refractive lens replacement

I am a consultant eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) with an interest in the anterior segment of the eye and cataract surgery, working at University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust since 2015.

I specialise in treating patients with cataract, refractive errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism, need for reading glasses), keratoconus, laser vision surgery and corneal dystrophies, such as Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.

I have sub-specialised in treatments of the cornea and refractive surgery, with a fellowship at the Singapore National Eye Centre and by carrying out a PhD on diagnostic applications of optical coherence tomography imaging of the cornea.

General Medical Council Number: 4607078

  • Corneal transplantation surgery (endothelial keratoplasty, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, penetrating keratoplasty and Pterygium excision with conjunctival-limbal autograft)
  • Keratoconus treatments (collagen cross-linking, ATHENS protocol, intra-corneal rings)
  • Laser vision correction (LASIK, LASEK, SMILE, PRESBYOND, PTK for recurrent corneal erosion syndrome)
  • Refractive lens exchange (toric and multifocal lens options)

Professional leadership

I am currently co-Clinical Lead for the Ophthalmology Care Group at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

Understanding early in training the importance of research in improving patient care and outcomes, I have actively pursued research that has direct clinical application. My doctoral research focused on the diagnostic capabilities of optical coherence tomography imaging of the cornea. During my fellowship in Singapore I investigated novel applications of lasers for treatment of corneal conditions. Currently, I am involved in research on imaging and screening for keratoconus, and on improving corneal graft surgery techniques.
