Athens Eye Bank

The first Eye Bank in Greece of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, opens new horizons for ophthalmology and the health of our citizens. It is located at the General Hospital of Athens ‘Georgios Gennimatas,’ with Professor Georgios Kymionis serving as the scientific director.

Charitable Project

This charitable project was established based on the needs of transplant activities and the extensive clinical experience of Professor of Ophthalmology Georgios Kymionis. The operation and equipment of the Athens Eye Bank are entirely funded through financial donations, with the main sponsor to date being the Social and Cultural Affairs Welfare Foundation (KIKPE). These funds are administered by the Special Account for Research Funds of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA).
