About Me

Dr. Cristos Ifantides, MD, MBA is a fellowship-trained, board-certified anterior segment surgeon specializing in routine and complex surgeries of the front of the eye. He offers modern cataract care—including laser-assisted techniques and advanced lens options—as well as surgical and laser treatments for glaucoma. Known for surgical innovation and medical education, Dr. Ifantides has published extensively, delivered dozens of invited talks, and pioneered techniques that help surgeons manage challenging anterior segment problems. Before entering private practice, he served on the faculty of an academic medical center, where his NIH-funded lab explored 3D printing, materials science, and drug delivery to solve unmet needs in ophthalmology. Dr. Ifantides completed an Academic Global Ophthalmology/Anterior Segment fellowship at Wills Eye Hospital after ophthalmology residency at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He earned his MD and MBA at the University of Florida. Patients appreciate his calm, collaborative style and the way he pairs state-of-the-art technology with clear, step-by-step guidance before and after surgery.
