International Patients
Eye care worth the flight.
Patients travel to Athens EyeCare from across Europe for subspecialty treatments that are hard to find at home — planned entirely by email before they fly.

Why patients travel to us
Subspecialists, not generalists
Paediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, retina, glaucoma, cornea and oculoplastics — each led by a surgeon who trained in that field at UK and European centres.
English-speaking, UK-trained doctors
Our founder was a consultant at Alder Hey Children's Hospital; our team includes a serving consultant at King's College Hospital London. Your consultation happens in fluent English.
One clinic for everything
Diagnosis, imaging, laser and surgical treatment and follow-up under one roof, on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue in central Athens.
Sensible costs
Private UK- and US-standard care, at Greek private-clinic prices — often a fraction of the equivalent at home, even with travel included.
How it works
01

Email your history, reports or photos. A doctor — not a call centre — reviews your case.

We reply with our assessment, the proposed appointments and clear pricing before you book anything.
03
Fly to Athens
We compress diagnostics, consultation and treatment into a single short stay — for many procedures, under a week.
04
Fly home supported
You leave with a written plan, and we review your progress remotely with your local doctor.
Practical questions
- What should I send in the first email?
- Your history in your own words, any recent reports or letters, and scans if you have them, such as OCT images or visual fields. Say what you would like addressed. A doctor reads it, not a call centre.
- How are the dates arranged?
- Everything is agreed by email before you book flights. We compress diagnostics, consultation and treatment into one short stay, so you are not left waiting between appointments.
- Where exactly is the clinic?
- 110 Vasilissis Sofias Avenue, sixth floor, in central Athens: opposite the Athens Concert Hall and next to the United States Embassy. The Megaro Moussikis metro station is a short walk away.
- Will I be understood?
- Consultations run in fluent English. Our founder practised for years in the United Kingdom and part of the team still holds a consultant post in London.
