I have recently undergone a vitrectomy and ERM peel at The Spire Southampton with Mr Antonakis. This was done to remove a very large floater and I can truly say the results are sensational! I can see clearly now, the monster has gone! Highly recommend Mr Antonakis and his team.

Mr Antonakis Thank you. I would have no hesitation in seeking your specialist skills again if required. Your professional and humorous explanation of the procedure, risks and aftercare was excellent. Mrs Bucci (private secretary to the team) was helpful responsive and friendly.

Mr Antonakis is professional and reassuring with excellent bedside manners. From the first appointment, it was obvious that I chose a true expert in this field who is also approachable and caring. My eye surgery was seamless, and I am so so pleased with the outcome!!!
