Prof. Farhad Hafezi: Power List 2025

Wer ist der beste Augenarzt in Zürich? In der Schweiz? Auf der ganzen Welt? Während solche Fragen naturgemäss subjektiv sind, bietet die Anerkennung durch Fachkollegen einen aussagekräftigen Vergleichsmassstab. 
Die medizinische Fachzeitschrift The Ophthalmologist versucht, diese Frage zu beantworten, indem sie alle zwei Jahre ihre „Power List“— eine weltweite Auswahl der 100 einflussreichsten Personen, die die Zukunft der Augenheilkunde gestalten, veröffentlicht.

Wir freuen uns, bekanntgeben zu können, dass Prof. Farhad Hafezi in die Power List 2025 aufgenommen wurde, dieses Mal in der Kategorie Innovation. Damit ist er bereits zum sechsten Mal auf der Power List von The Ophthalmologist‘s Power List (2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2023, and now 2025, was seine nachhaltigen Beiträge zur Hornhautforschung, refraktiven Chirurgie und Wiederherstellung des Sehvermögens widerspiegelt.

Prof. Hafezi ist international anerkannt für seine translationale Forschung in der Augenlaserchirurgie und für seine Pionierarbeit bei zahlreichen Fortschritten in der Hornhautvernetzung (CXL), einschliesslich beschleunigter, massgeschneiderter und Epithel-on-Protokolle, die heute weltweit eingesetzt werden.

Bis heute wurden nur sechs Schweizer Augenärzte in die Power List aufgenommen–von denen drei am ELZA-Institut arbeiten– was den Ruf des Instituts als Kompetenzzentrum für ophthalmologische Innovation bestätigt.

Als einziger praktizierender Schweizer Augenarzt, der fünfmal in der renommierten Power List aufgenommen wurde, hat Prof. Hafezi mit seinen bemerkenswerten Leistungen einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf das Fachgebiet ausgeübt. Seine umfangreichen und bahnbrechenden Arbeiten umfassen die Entwicklung neuer Vernetzungstechniken zur Behandlung von Keratokonus und Hornhautgeschwüren sowie die Entwicklung innovativer Anwendungen der Excimer-Lasertechnologie in der refraktiven Laserchirurgie.

Prof. Hafezi, der in Freiburg (FR) aufgewachsen ist und in Baar (ZG) wohnt, ist Mitbegründer und medizinischer Leiter des ELZA-Instituts, das über Kliniken in Zürich HB und Dietikon verfügt, und er leitet ein Forschungslabor am CABMM der Universität Zürich. Prof. Hafezi besitzt den Titel eines Professors für Augenheilkunde an der Universität Genf, ausserordentlicher Professor an der University of Southern California Los Angeles, ausserordentlicher klinischer Professor am Department of Ophthalmology der NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York und Gastprofessor an der Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China. Darüber hinaus ist er Mitbegründer der Light for Sight Stiftung, die darauf abzielt, vermeidbare Erblindung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen durch die Förderung von Keratokonus-Screening und -Behandlung zu verhindern.

Overall as a 50 year old, who wanted to continue to avoid wearing glasses and/or contact lenses, my goal was 100% achieved with ELZA and Dr. Hafezi. I greatly appreciated the overall approach by Dr. Hafezi and his friendly and competent team in reviewing my vision at the start and following a comprehensive eye exam- the explanations of my options. For me I chose PRK in one eye for a monovision solution to correct short sightedness which was becoming more prevalent in night driving and sports such as skiing and cycling. PRK heals slowly but the outcome is worth the wait- and the cost- you use your eyes every waking moment- and for me I cannot see any reason not to pursue better vision with the ELZA team! A great quality of life enhancement!

Thank you so much, Dr. Torres and prof. Hafezi. 26 years I was only “dreaming” about the eye surgery due to possible complications. I was worried ..Thank you for encouraging me to make a decision and thank you for your professionalism, explanations and great work!I wish you all the best, lots of success and only happy patients!

I have been to the ELZA clinic to have surgery for my miopy, as my eyes were rejecting the contacts and I was tired of wearing glasses. From the first preliminary visit, to the actual surgery and post-surgery care Dr. Hafezi and all his collaborators have been extremely professional, considerate and helpful. All the steps of the (very short!) surgery were thoroughly explained to me in order to be as calm as possible, together with the medication plan and precautions to be aware of so that my eyes could heal in the best way possible. By following their exact instructions, the healing process has been very successful and smooth, and after about one week I was able to see perfectly. I absolutely recommend this team and their expertise!

After some research on local options I decided to go with ELZA since it stood out as the best. The operation and the post-operation recovery went extremely smooth (something I was worried about with PRK). Now my vision is much better than I had hoped and I have no side effects such as dry eye or night vision problems. Thank you!

My left eye had to be operated on because of a cataract. As I had an Artiflex lens implanted a few years ago, it had to be removed first before a modern lens could be implanted to correct the cataract. Prof. Hafezi treated me in an very competent and friendly manner. I am very happy with the result.

Totally creepy, very arrogant Prof.He just want your money.It may explain, why this Prof. is not in the center of the city of Zürich and why he has been thrown away from University of Geneva.

At the moment, 3 months have passed since the moment I made laser vision correction in this clinic. and I can say that I am happy that I chose this particular clinic and Prof. F. Hafezi. The entire staff of the clinic is very friendly, treats patients with sympathy and patience if they are nervous before surgery (my big gratitude to Aida Alili for all support and patience). The doctor Hafezi and other doctors of the clinic are very professional and ready to explain to you as many times as you need. I can only recommend!

The day I had Prof Hafezi checking my keratoconus I knew I was finally in the right place after years of searching for a good ophthalmologist. Prof Hafezi recommended a surgery due to a drastic degeneration of my cornea. The surgery was performed by himself with the assistance of Dr Rodriguez, one more collaborator of Prof Hafezi’s team who got my full trust.

Professor Hafezi and the team at the ELZA Institute have done an amazing job of creating a first class eye clinic, with cutting edge technology and support. I went there for a dry eye issue and other issues with my prescription, and they were easily able to help me and put me on the road to better vision! High recommend them to anyone in the Zurich/Aargau area.
