We sat down with the ophthalmologist Javier Cabrerizo for a conversation about technology, passion, and why he believes it is absolutely essential to stay ahead. Both as a doctor and as a clinic.<\/span><\/p>

Javier has been a Chief eye doctor and surgeon at the Department of Ophthalmology at Rigshospitalet in Glostrup for a number of years. He is also specially trained in advanced corneal transplants in the Netherlands, and he helped bring the transplant method to Denmark. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Today he is the owner of Copenhagen Eye Institute<\/strong><\/a>where he and his team meet patients every day with one common mission. To get the best possible vision and the best possible quality of life afterwards. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

Interviewer:<\/strong> Javier, I know that you emphasize an innovative approach to your profession. Why is that so important? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Javier:<\/strong> I have a strong focus on making sure the clinic is 100% up to date in eye care so that we can offer the most optimal and at the same time the most gentle treatment for the patient.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Interviewer:<\/strong> Why is it so important, if you have to go into detail?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Javier:<\/strong> Partly because medical technology is constantly evolving – becoming more advanced, but also more gentle. For example, corneal transplants a few years ago involved stitches in the eye to secure the new cornea. Today, with the new technology I am specially trained in, in the Netherlands, the cornea can be ‘glued’ in place using a special gas, avoiding stitches. So the operation is much less bothersome for the patient.In addition, we offer a range of high-quality lenses so that we can target the optimal vision very precisely if the patient needs cataract surgery, for example. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Interviewer:<\/strong> But staying ahead of the curve, isn’t that difficult in a busy practice?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Javier:<\/strong> Yes, that’s right. It has to be planned well. But no matter how busy I am, I simply prioritize educating myself on the latest technologies and thus more gentle treatment options. It is my passion to offer the best professional and most relevant solution for the patient.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Interviewer:<\/strong> In addition to training, you also need some equipment that is quite advanced?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Javier: That’s correct! I focus on the very best technology from the most reputable companies, including those from Switzerland. In this way, I can maintain the standard, as I focus both on the ongoing training of staff and the development of the clinic\u2019s technical quality, which together form a higher unity, benefiting the patient. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Interviewer:<\/strong> I know you’re busy, as I can see that new patients are constantly arriving here at the clinic. So I want to thank you for taking the time to give us a little insight into your everyday life. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Javier:<\/strong> It was a pleasure and thanks for your interest!
