Dr. med. Hans-Peter Haug

Dr Haug began refractive surgery in 1990 as one of the first ophthalmic surgeons in Germany. He was the LASIK pioneer in Southern Germany. Dr Haug has helped around 10,000 patients to see clearly again without spectacles or contact lenses. His competence and long experience have allowed Dr Haug to become a recognised trainer of the Refractive Surgery Commission of the Association of German Doctors (BVA), giving him the authority to train interested eye surgeons in refractive laser surgery.

After studying medicine at the Albrecht Ludwig University in Freiburg im Breisgau, Dr Haug obtained his doctorate on the subject of "Orthopia treatment of amblyopia in the case of eccentric fixation with active pleoptics", under the supervision of Prof Dr med. P. Grützner.
He was then a junior doctor in Karlsruhe, Forbach and Freiburg.

Dr Haug performed his military service as a unit doctor in Germersheim. His training as an ophthalmist was completed at the University Eye Clinic in Freiburg, under the tutorship of Prof Dr med. G. Mackensen.

The basis for the continuing good international exchange of knowledge was created through his work at the Bascolm Palmer Institute in Miami and at the Moorfield Eye Hospital in London. Amongst other things, Dr Haug was also a researcher in projects with Prof Dr med. R. Sundmacher on the subject of surgical experiments in the strength of wounds in keratoplasty, interferon therapy and research into contact lens materials. Dr Haug has given national and international presentations and has published numerous scientific publications.

Dr Haug has been a registered eye surgeon in Pforzheim since 1981.

True to his motto "Training and scientific exchange is essential for an experienced operator", Dr Haug is a member of numerous national and international scientific associations.
