Curriculum vitae
Dr. med. Florian Kretz is a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO) and discovered his passion for ophthalmology at an early age. He began his medical studies in 2001 and spent semesters abroad in the USA and the West Indies. He successfully completed his studies at the University of Ulm in 2007. He decided to specialize in ophthalmology at the Eye Clinic of Heidelberg University Hospital, one of the most renowned institutions of its kind. He later worked there as a senior consultant and began to specialize in cataract operations, refractive surgery and research into new surgical methods. He then settled down with a colleague and built up the joint clinic network with several locations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
The desire for innovation, further development and patient-oriented medicine finally led Dr. Kretz to take a new path. He now performs well over 3,000 intraocular procedures per year and is an internationally recognized and renowned specialist in this field. Today, he is also Managing Partner and Medical Director of the Rheine and Greven Eye Day Clinics, the Steinfurt Eye Practice and the Erlangen Eye Practice and Eye Laser Center. He has received numerous international awards for his innovative work, research and social commitment and is a regular invited speaker at all major ophthalmology congresses worldwide.
Together with his wife Nicole Kretz, he supports charitable projects in the field of ophthalmology in his spare time, including as a medical board member of the Khmer Sight Foundation in Cambodia.
