Paulig Eye & Health –
Operation / Laser / Anti‑Aging
Berlin-Mitte

I feel that receiving this prestigious award is much more than a personal milestone – it is a recognition of a lifelong commitment to medical excellence, precise diagnostics and surgical mastery.
With over 30 years of clinical experience and a deep sense of responsibility for more than 110,000 surgically treated patients, this moment reflects decades of dedication, resilience and unwavering passion for improving human vision and quality of life.

As an experienced ophthalmic surgeon and diagnostician, I have always believed that truly outstanding medical care is not defined by technical skill alone, but also by empathy, vision and the ability to truly listen. Every patient is unique – and every diagnosis is a responsibility.
This award is not only dedicated to me, but also to:

• every team member who has stood by my side in the operating and diagnostic room,
• every patient who has entrusted me with their sight,
• and every challenge that has pushed me to continue learning, evolving and leading with integrity.

In an era of rapid innovation, artificial intelligence and changing healthcare paradigms, I remain convinced that human insight, years of experience and ethical responsibility are irreplaceable.
My thanks to the jury, the organizers and all those who continue to believe in medicine that combines cutting-edge science with compassion.

May this recognition remind us that our work has only just begun. The future of ophthalmology and longevity medicine will depend on those who are willing to lead with heart and mind.
