ELZA Institute

ELZA Institute Treat - Innovate - Teach - Research. The pillars of the ELZA Institute. Focusing on irregular astigmatism, keratoconus, and cross-linking technology.

ELZA represents a unique combination in ophthalmology, uniting clinicians, surgeons, clinical researchers, and physicists to tzranslate research into clinical applications. Our special emphasis lies on the cornea, and cross-linking technology. Members of our team were instrumental in establishing cross-linking technology in clinical ophthalmology. In consequence, members of our team were voted into "The Power List 2014", a list of the 100 most influential people in global ophthalmology, as well as into the "Top 40 under 40", a list of the 40 most promising new personalities in global ophthalmology. Our surgical services focus on improving on irregular astigmatism of all origins, including keratoconus, PMD, scars after trauma and infection. Our current research aims at establishing PACK-Cross-linking for infectious keratitis, a new method co-developed by us.

Progressive Keratoconus at 56? Yes, it can happen!

Many believe keratoconus progression stops around age 30 or 35 — and in most cases, that’s true. But it’s really just about probability, not a strict rule.

We recently saw a 56-year-old patient with clear keratoconus progression — no eye rubbing, no hormonal changes, nothing out of the ordinary.

So yes, progression at this age is unusual, but not impossible. It’s a good reminder that regular eye check-ups matter at any age. 💙

I’m very honored and grateful to have received the Carl Wilhelm von Zehender Award for our work in keratoconus at the 2025 Annual Baltic Sea Conference.

A sincere thank you to Professor Thomas Fuchsluger, Chair of Ophthalmology at the University of Rostock, for presenting this award.

Carl Wilhelm von Zehender was a true pioneer in 19th-century ophthalmology and the founder of the second-oldest ophthalmic journal—making this recognition especially meaningful to me.

It’s an honor to be part of this legacy and to follow in the footsteps of last year’s esteemed recipient, Jod Mehta from Singapore.

Feeling proud, thankful, and inspired for what’s ahead.
