Prof. Hafezi hält die Shield Lecture beim virtuellen Treffen Saudi Ophthalmology 2020

Am 6. August 2020 hatte Prof. Dr. Farhad Hafezi die Ehre, von Seiner Königlichen Hoheit Prinz Abdulaziz Bin Ahmed des saudischen Königshauses eingeladen zu werden, um die Shield Lecture auf dem virtuellen Treffen Saudi Ophthalmology 2020 zu präsentieren. wurde auch mit dem Goldmedaillen-Vortrag geehrt.

Der Vortrag mit dem Titel “Keratokonus: Von der Prävention zur visuellen Rehabilitation” verdeutlichte, dass der Keratokonus eine weit verbreitete Erkrankung ist, von der Kinder stärker betroffen sind als Erwachsene, und welche verheerenden Folgen diese Krankheit für das Sehvermögen hat und wie sie mit einem Verfahren namens Corneal Crosslinking (CXL) behandelt wird. Etwas so Einfaches wie das Augenreiben kann einen Keratokonus beschleunigen. Die Hornhaut wird geschwächt, sie beginnt sich zu wölben und die Sehkraft nimmt dramatisch ab. Aber CXL kann ihn bekämpfen, indem die Hornhaut mit einem Vitamin (Riboflavin, auch Vitamin B2genannt) gesättigt und 10-30 Minuten lang mit ultraviolettem Licht bestrahlt wird. Prof. Hafezi hat sich von Anfang an mit der CXL-Technologie beschäftigt, und er und seine Forschungsgruppe haben viele Durchbrüche mit CXL erzielt, angefangen von der Behandlung ultradünner Hornhäute mit CXL (die sonst eine Hornhauttransplantation erfordern würden), über die Demonstration der wesentlichen Rolle von Sauerstoff bei der photochemischen Cross-linking-reaktion, die Aufdeckung der wahren Prävalenz des Keratokonus bis hin zur Verlegung des CXL aus den Operationssälen in die Praxen der Augenärzte an ihre Spaltlampen.

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!weiterlesen

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!weiterlesen

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!weiterlesen

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.weiterlesen

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!weiterlesen

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.weiterlesen

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.weiterlesen
