He heads four SCHWIND reference centres (Zurich, Vienna, Warsaw, Krakow) and trains eye surgeons from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience in numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>more than <strong>25,000 laser vision correction procedures<\/strong> (counted per eye)<\/li>\n\n<li>approx. <strong>6,000 SmartSight lenticule extraction procedures<\/strong>, including approx. 1,800 with the latest SmartSight Nova method<\/li>\n\n<li>approx. <strong>1,000 patients<\/strong> with presbyopia treated with the PresbyMAX\u00ae method<\/li>\n\n<li>approx. <strong>1,500 phakic lens implantations<\/strong> (ICL)<\/li>\n\n<li>Cross-linking procedures for keratoconus performed <strong>since 2007<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>in 2025 he trained surgeons from <strong>13 countries<\/strong> in laser lenticule extraction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From student of the pioneers to mentor of the world&#8217;s elite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In refractive surgery there are doctors who use technology \u2013 and those who help shape it. Dr Victor Derhartunian belongs to the second group. He trained under the giants of the field: Prof. Theo Seiler (IROC Z\u00fcrich), the pioneer of refractive surgery and inventor of the Cross-linking method, and Prof. Thomas Kohnen (University Eye Clinic, Frankfurt). Today he passes that knowledge on himself \u2013 not only as a surgeon, but as a mentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clinics under his direction \u2013 in Zurich, Vienna, Warsaw and Krakow \u2013 hold the status of official <strong>SCHWIND reference centres<\/strong>. This means that ophthalmologists from all over the world come here to learn the latest techniques of laser lenticule extraction (SmartSight) and laser correction of presbyopia (PresbyMAX). In 2025 alone, Dr Derhartunian trained surgeons from 13 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Hungary and Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I train a surgeon from London or Riyadh, I am indirectly helping thousands of patients around the world to see better.
