History of HSIOIRS

28 YEARS HSIOIRS : 1984 - 2012

Hellenic Hellenic Society of Intraocular Implant and Refractive Surgery was founded in 1984 by a group of contemporary ophthalmic surgeons, who were involved in cataract and refractive surgery.

One year later, they organized the first annual meeting of the society, with participation of Hellenic and foreign ophthalmologists.

The success of the first meeting, helped in the establishment of the annual congress as one of the biggest events in Hellenic Ophthalmology.

After 1998 the annual meeting became international with attendees from all over the world.

In 1999 and 2007 HSIOIRS co-organised the Winter meeting of ESCRS.

Today, it is considered the most successful Hellenic Congress in the field of Ophthalmic Surgery.
