POWER LIST 2024 Who would a doctor go to if they needed treatment? Which ophthalmologist’s clinic would an ophthalmologist visit, if they needed their services? If you ask eye doctors that question and make a list, you get an international list of highly respected eye doctors at the top of their game. The publication, The Ophthalmologist, do exactly that on an annual basis, and they call it the Power List.
The ELZA Institute is proud to announce that Prof. Kaweh Mansouri has been included in “The Ophthalmologist’s Power List” for the second time. This esteemed list honors the 100 most influential and innovative individuals in the field of ophthalmology. Prof. Mansouri is lauded for his role in glaucoma surgery and as a pioneer of MIGS technology, and continual IOP monitoring. He was previously included in the Power List in 2015 and 2017 as a member of the “Top 40 Under 40“. In total, only six Swiss ophthalmologists have been featured on the list, with three of them working at the ELZA Institute.
