About Dr Marianthy Vayanos

Cape Town Ophthalmologist

I am Dr Marianthy Vayanos

I am a general  Ophthalmologist in full-time private practice at the flagship Netcare Christiaan Barnard Private Hospital in the centre of Cape Town, South Africa. I completed my undergraduate medical training at the  University of the Witwatersrand in  Johannesburg in 1997 and obtained my  Specialist Qualification in Ophthalmology at the  University of Cape Town in 2007. I offer a variety of different ophthalmic services but am specialised in cataract surgery, glaucoma, medical retina, pterygium surgery, functional eyelid surgery, paediatrics, strabismus and squint surgery as well as general medical illnesses affecting the eye.

I endeavour to treat my patients in a holistic and caring manner, with the aim to give them the best possible outcome at all times. I pride myself on the empathetic manner in which I treat my patients and strive to build trusted relationships with each and every individual I meet in my practice.

The bulk of my surgeries are done at the Netcare Foreshore day hospital which  houses state of the art equipment as well as excellent and attentive staff.

Prior to specialising, I worked in the UK for a year in numerous medical disciplines, and used the opportunity to visit the sights and explore the arts and culture of Europe! On my return to South Africa, I worked in general practice and at the department of Neurology at Groote Schuur Hospital. On completion of my specialisation, I worked at the Redcross Children’s Hospital eye department, the Glaucoma department at Groote Schuur hospital and well as at Eerste river hospital, where high volume cataract surgery is performed.

I am blessed with a precious family and appreciate living in the beautiful city of Cape Town. I love nature, exercise, the arts and music, travelling and spending quality time with my loved ones.
