Dr. Derhartunian is a renowned ophthalmologist and eye surgeon.
Since his residency, refractive surgery has been Dr. Derhartunian’s passion. He enjoys combining medicine, cutting-edge technology and sophisticated research and then translating that into his clinical work. He especially enjoys the customisation involved in eye surgery and tailoring treatment to the needs of the patient.

These pioneers performed the world’s first laser eye surgery.
Dr. Derhartunian uses this invaluable knowledge today. It has allowed him to become one of the leading surgeons in Europe and develop laser eye surgery procedures even further.
Dr. Victor Derhartunian studied medicine at the University of Vienna. He completed his education as a specialist at the prestigious University Eye Clinics in Erlangen, Frankfurt, and the UK.
