Quality in the ophthalmic operating room isn't a state – it's an ongoing process.
"For me, ophthalmology quality means that every procedure is performed safely, effectively, and with the highest level of care – regardless of how routine it may appear. Even routine procedures may not be performed automatically, but have to be planned and executed just as conscientiously as complex operations.
What matters is that the patient can approach us with trust and ultimately achieve the best possible visual outcome. This includes thorough preparation, adherence to established standards, the use of modern technology, and continuous reflection on one's own work."
