Partner in sports
Service-partner of the 'Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe'for 15 years
From 2002 to 2017, as a service partner of the "Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe" (German Sport Support), the clinic offered help to athletes by changing the refractive power of the eye (refractive surgery) thus enabling clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. Eyewear or contact lenses are often a disadvantage, especially in competitive sports. One of the services offered by the Potsdam Eye Clinic for the sponsored athletes was a free pre-examination with detailed advice and information. In addition, only one small contribution from the athlete had to be made during an intervention. More than 180 athletes (both junior and top athletes) have benefited from the cooperation with the Potsdam Eye Clinic.

KC Potsdam
KC Potsdam
The athletes of the KCP are not only popular, but are, above all, winners: The KC Potsdam is probably the most successful canoe club in the world. The athletes regularly win numerous medals at national, European and world championships and, of course, at the Olympic Games. 103 Olympic victories and world champion titles, plus 81 silver and 75 bronze medals - it is an impressive record that can be attributed to the Potsdam canoe racers.
The Potsdam Eye Clinic supports the KCP as a member of their support society, e.g. through direct help by providing a 10-person canoe to the KCP for the general sport.
