Dr. Jørn S. Jørgensen, medical director of EuroEyes, implanted the most ICL lenses in Germany in 2017. He was honoured for this record achievement by Ralf Ohlmeier and Hans-Martin Blickensdörfer, both Staar Surgical, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of EuroEyes.

Dr. Matthias Metz, CEO of Zeiss Vision AG, and Dr. Michael Achtelik, Managing Director of Zeiss Meditec AG, presented the coveted prize to Dr. Jørgensen on the occasion of the 25th anniversary celebration on 20 November 2018.

Whether smartphone, tablet, navigation device or computer – millions of people look at a screen every day. Over the years, viewing habits have changed – the nationwide representative index “Gute Arbeit 2016” of the German Confederation of Trade Unions reports that 47 percent of 25 to 29-year-olds in Europe are short-sighted. We explain the connection.

To celebrate the history and 25th anniversary of EuroEyes, Dr. Jørn Jørgensen, founder and CEO of EuroEyes, was visited and interviewed by “Die Welt” at the Valentinskamp Clinic in Hamburg. Among other things, the topics were the expansion of the clinic in China, the further development of laser technology and whether Hamburg is a bicycle city or not.
