Mr Dimitriou said: “I feel very grateful to the committee of the European Awards in Medicine, who have selected us for the 2024 Award in Ophthalmology.

“My team and I deeply appreciate this prestigious recognition of our efforts at ESNEFT and the Eye Centre at Colchester to improve patients’ experience by utilising the latest technologies for combined cataract and minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery.

“Our results have been outstanding, with accumulating plaudits and the driving force of enhancing current guidelines in the ever-evolving world of interventional glaucoma for truly personalised medicine and individualised patient care.”
