LaserVision

What LaserVision does

LaserVision (legal name: Οφθαλμολογική Μονάδα Ημερήσιας Νοσηλείας Laservision) is a private ophthalmology day hospital unit founded in 2001 and headquartered at An. Tsocha 17 in the Ampelokipi district of Athens, Greece. The clinic operates as a Clinical and Research Eye Institute offering diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, research, and educational services across the full spectrum of ophthalmology, including refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK), cataract surgery (including laser-assisted Dodick photolysis), corneal and keratoconus treatments (including the founder's proprietary Athens Protocol combining cross-linking with topography-guided PRK), glaucoma management, retina and vitreous surgery, strabismus correction, and eyelid procedures. Patient evaluation is built around a comprehensive pre-operative workup of approximately 50 diagnostic tests per patient lasting 2-3 hours, supported by femtosecond laser, Excimer laser, and advanced ophthalmic imaging systems.

The practice is founder-led by Dr. Anastasios Kanellopoulos, who serves as Founder & Scientific Director and concurrently holds a professorship at NYU Medical School; the practice's competitive positioning rests on his international reputation, including a Life Achievement Honor Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, his 2016-2017 presidency of the International Society of Refractive Surgery, his appearance on The Ophthalmologist Power List, and an authorship record of more than 100 original surgical publications. The clinic is ISO 9001:2015 certified by TUV and holds contracts with over 20 Greek and international insurance providers including Ethniki, Eurolife, Generali, Allianz, and Interamerican.

LaserVision employs between 11 and 50 staff and generates revenue from one-time procedure fees for refractive, cataract, corneal, glaucoma, retinal, and oculoplastic surgeries, alongside insurance-reimbursed services. Patient acquisition runs through a call center, online contact forms, a bilingual (Greek/English) website, social media channels, television interviews, patient testimonials, and insurance referral pathways. There is no evidence of external investment, parent company ownership, or expansion beyond the single Athens facility.
