Dr. Konstantinos Stamoulas: Ophthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon in Thessaloniki
Finding an ophthalmologist in Thessaloniki with focused experience in retinal disease matters when the condition affects sight itself, not just comfort. Dr. Konstantinos Stamoulas is an ophthalmologist who combines academic training in the United Kingdom with vitreoretinal surgery and cataract practice in Thessaloniki. He holds a medical degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, an MSc in Ophthalmology from the Democritus University of Thrace, and completed fellowships in London and the East of England before returning to practise in Greece. This profile sets out his training, his clinical focus, and how to reach him through Asklepieia Health.
Training and Credentials
Dr. Stamoulas earned his medical degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and completed an MSc in Ophthalmology at the Democritus University of Thrace. He qualified as a medical specialist in ophthalmology in 2017 and is a member of the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom. Membership of the GMC means his UK training and practice were subject to the same regulatory oversight as any ophthalmologist practising there, a detail that can matter to patients assessing training gained overseas.
His postgraduate training included fellowships at Southend University Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary, and the Western Eye Hospital, part of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London. Since 2023, he has held a salaried scientific associate post at the 1st Ophthalmology Clinic of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, based at AHEPA Hospital, alongside his private ophthalmic practice in Thessaloniki — one of the specialists whose background is set out on the Asklepieia marketplace. He consults in Greek and English.
Clinical Focus: Vitreoretinal Surgery and Medical Retina
A vitreoretinal subspecialist is an ophthalmologist who has pursued additional training, beyond general ophthalmology, in the surgical and medical management of the retina, macula, and vitreous. This typically involves fellowship placements at hospitals with dedicated retina services, working alongside surgeons who manage a high volume of retinal detachment and macular disease. Dr. Stamoulas’ training reflects that pattern, with three fellowship placements in UK teaching hospitals before he returned to practise in Thessaloniki. Combining that subspecialty training with a hospital-based academic post and a private practice is the structure behind how he currently sees patients in Thessaloniki.
His clinical work covers:
- Diagnosis and treatment of retinal detachment
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Cataract surgery
- Advanced diagnostic imaging, including OCT Angiography
He is a member of professional bodies including the British and Eire Association of Vitreoretinal Surgeons (BEAVRS), the European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA), the Greek Vitreoretinal Society (GVRS), and the Medical Association of Thessaloniki. These memberships sit alongside, rather than substitute for, his individual training record and current hospital affiliation.
What This Means for Patients Choosing a Specialist
Retinal conditions often benefit from a specialist whose training and current affiliations can be checked before a first visit. Dr. Stamoulas is listed on the Asklepieia Health marketplace, where his credentials, clinical focus, and practice location are set out on a single profile page rather than scattered across separate hospital and practice websites. Asklepieia Health is a medical tourism facilitator and marketplace, not a hospital or clinic — it lists verified providers so patients can compare backgrounds and arrange contact through one platform. For international patients in particular, having training history, hospital affiliation, and consultation languages confirmed in one place before travel can reduce the guesswork that often accompanies choosing a specialist abroad.
