A Brief Personal and Professional Introduction.

Having graduated from Szeged University of Medical Sciences. After graduation, I was employed at the Ophthalmology Clinic, where I had the opportunity to get involved in the work of the first excimer laser research group in Hungary as early as 1992. I was honored to do research work with such prominent personalities as professors Ildikó Süveges, Helga Hammer, Lajos Kolozsvári, Zsolt Bor, and Gábor Szabó; I have considered them as my masters ever since. I am grateful for mastering the profession to professors Pál Sziklai, Andrea Deák, Márta Janáky, and Mihály Végh.

In the course of my study trip to Münster in 1994, I learned several new surgical procedures in the areas of eyelid plastic surgery and excimer laser surgical interventions. I am really grateful to professors Holger Busse, Theo Seiler, and Werner Förster.

In 1998, I was one of the first to introduce LASIK type surgical operations in Hungary with the involvement of professor Ronald Krüger (Cleveland) and Hassan Ziad (Debrecen). This procedure can be used effectively to improve eye refraction defects, such as deformations by short-sightedness, hypermetropia, or corneal sphericity.

I have conducted over 12.000 successful refractive (PRK, LASIK, IntraLasik) as well as eye-lid plastic surgery in the last eleven years.

Besides introducing new surgical techniques, I also had the opportunity to participate in international research work. In 1997, I first conducted animal tests in Ann Arbor (MI, USA); and I was the first in the world to test the femtosecond laser developed by professor Tibor Juhász (Michigan) on human eyes in Budapest in 1998 to 1999. As a result of this research, the company named IntraLase obtained an FDA license in the USA to perform Intralasik type surgical operations, which has been applied in more than half a million interventions worldwide for the last 5 years.

The procedure can be used for treating short-sightedess, hypermetropia, and astigmatism as well as for corneal transplantation much more effectively and precisely than any other interventions applied so far.

I would like to achieve that the European center for this surgical procedure and further research be located in Hungary.

My research results were summed up in connection with corneal wound healing after different laser interventions and I was conferred a PhD qualification at Szeged University of Sciences in 2001. Special thanks to professors Tibor Krenács and László Dux who provided support to the greatest extent possible.

My study trips include Münster, Aschaffenburg, Graz, Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Salzburg, Moscow, Cheboksari, Rome, Milano, Jerusalem, Alicante, Barcelona, Paris, San Diego, Ann Arbor, Dallas, San Francisco, Nürenberg, Regensburg and Irvine, where I mostly studied issues of laser refractive surgery for sight improvement and eyelid plastic surgery.
