From Hippocrates to Dermophthalmology
Hippocrates, the father of Medicine, was the first to speak 2,500 years ago about the importance of Hygiene as the foundation of health.
2500 years ago
Hippocrates first spoke of Hygiene as the cornerstone of health.
Today, Greece introduces Dermophthalmology to the world: eye care as a culture, as prevention, as respect for humanity.
Eye Hygiene is Culture.
It is not a luxury, it is basic care. Just as our body needs daily hygiene, our eyes deserve cleanliness, protection and respect.
Dermophthalmology establishes a new culture: the cultivation of health and beauty in the gaze.
Dermophthalmology continues this work, introducing Eye Hygiene as a new cultural and medical paradigm — bringing eye care to the forefront.
Taking care of the eyelids, eyelashes, eyebrows and ocular surface is not a luxury.
It's culture. It's health. It's prevention.
What is Dermophthalmology?
From Hippocrates to modern prevention – eye hygiene becomes a culture.
Dermophthalmology is a new sub-specialty of Ophthalmology, which, in collaboration with Dermatology, focuses on the care of the eye, eyelids, eyelashes, eyebrows and the peri-ocular area – all elements that have a direct impact on the ocular surface, quality of vision and appearance.
This is not just another aesthetic trend. It is a medical innovation with a Greek signature, which brings eye care to the center of daily hygiene.
All of these affect
The ocular surface, quality of vision and appearance.
Why Now is the Time

- Dry eyes
- Blepharitis
- Chalazion
- Blurred vision
- Dark circles
- Problematic or dysfunctional eyelashes
- Sensitivity to light
- Irritation from makeup & extensions
Do you recognize these symptoms?
- Blurred vision
- Tearing
- Stinging or itching
- Red eyes
- Foreign body sensation
- Irritated eyelids

«When Ophthalmology & Dermatology collaborate, society wins»
Dermophthalmology does not remove responsibilities from any specialty; on the contrary, it creates a new field of collaboration.
Ophthalmology has developed impressively on a surgical and technological level, but the time has come for the field of daily prevention and eye hygiene to also come to the forefront.
Dermatologists know better than any other specialty the importance of hygiene and microbial balance in the skin. Their involvement is critical, as conditions such as rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis often have ocular involvement.
In this way, Greece – continuing the Hippocratic tradition of prevention – introduces to the world the new self-evident: eye hygiene as an integral part of health and culture.
