Introducing our Center

Personalized Care

At Ophthalmo-Check Eye Center every patient is cared for on an individual basis and receives personalized care from the director and founder of our Center, Prof. Pantelis Papadopoulos.

We want our patients to feel reassured by having their own personal and readily accessible ophthalmologist who follows them up throughout the entirety of their treatment journey. We take great pride in our ability to provide such individualized and personal care.

Years of Experience

With over 25 years of experience, our Director and the ophthalmologists of our Center are well-suited to manage even the most difficult of eye operations and confidently deal with any complications that may arise.

Prof. Pantelis Papadopoulos, inspired by his father to follow ophthalmology, became familiar with the intricacies of ophthalmic surgery from a very young age. He has since specialised in cataract surgery, glaucoma and corneal operations, refractive surgery, in the restoration of the anterior chamber with artificial iris implants and in procedures making use of various lasers.

Scientific Competence

The medical team and staff of Ophthalmo-Check Eye Center partake in all major Ophthalmology conferences organised in Greece and abroad, promoting a culture of continuous-learning and ensuring the most up-to-date services are being provided to our patients.

Cutting-edge Equipment

Our Center is equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic machinery, which is regularly updated and maintained. Our partnership with Metropolitan Hospital in both the surgical and diagnostic fields enhance our capacity and capabilities in advanced microsurgical procedures.

Surgical Safety

All our operations are performed in the new surgical wing of Metropolitan Hospital. Although the majority of ophthalmic operations can be carried out in an appropriately organised ophthalmic center, there are cases where unexpected events and complications may arise e.g. anaphylactic shock from medication or a cardiac arrest.

In these rare occasions, the safety and reassurance that a large hospital with an established network of anesthesiologists and modern intensive care units provides is incredibly valuable and incomparable.

Furthermore, patients who require general anesthesia and especially elderly patients with extensive medical histories need to be operated within a hospital environment.

Accessibility

Our Center is located in a very central location on Posidonos Avenue, one of the main coastal highways in Athens.

Located immediately in front of our Center are a bus station (PALMYRA) and a tram station (FLISVOS). Our guests can park their cars in a near BP gas station.

Quality of services

The scientific and managerial personnel of our Center make every effort to deliver the best possible services to our patients.

The commitment of our physicians to continued professional development and the strict selection of our clinical support and managerial staff, all help in ensuring a high standard of the services we provide.

Sensible pricing

Since the onset of the most recent economic crisis, the prices of all our medical services have been significantly discounted in an effort to show our solidarity to our patients who are suffering from the fallout of the crisis.

Additionally, for your convenience we have enabled payments of your medical bills in multiple installments with a credit card (Visa, Amex, MasterCard).

For patients who require a surgical operation or admission to hospital, we accept all private insurances with partial or full coverage.

Patients with Greek National Health Insurance (ΠΕΔΥ-ΕΟΠΠΥΥ) can be treated at Metropolitan Hospital utilizing their insurance, which will cover a significant portion of the hospital expenses.

In this way, patients can make significant costs savings and at the same time receive care of the highest standards in one of the largest hospitals in our country.
