Prof. Dr med. Spyridon Dimopoulos (Prof. Dr. med Spyridon Dimopoulos, FEBO) is Senior Consultant and head of vitreoretinal surgery at Tuebingen University Eye Hospital. He operates on the retina and the vitreous body and performs cataract surgery.
Where the doctor practises and what they do
He works in Tuebingen and is responsible for vitreoretinal surgery at the university eye hospital. This means surgery on the retina and on the vitreous body, the clear gel that fills the eye: retinal detachment, a macular hole, a membrane pulling on it, bleeding caused by diabetes. Such surgery goes through three microscopic ports, and eye treatment continues with checks until the retina settles.
His second field is cataract surgery, exchanging a clouded lens for an artificial one. One eye often needs both procedures, and the surgeon then decides whether to combine them or operate in sequence: a clouded lens makes work on the retina harder, while retinal surgery speeds up the clouding of the lens.
What they are known for
Prof. Dr med. Spyridon Dimopoulos is a specialist in ophthalmology and a university professor. He is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO), a title awarded after a separate international examination that confirms a level of training recognised across European countries.
