Surgical Expertise

Advanced Eye Surgery at the Highest Level – Precision, Experience, and Individualized Medicine

Modern eye surgery is among the most precise disciplines in medicine. At our center at Paulig Eye & Health, we combine decades of surgical experience with state-of-the-art diagnostics, innovative technologies, and a consistently individualized treatment approach.
Whether cataract surgery, refractive surgery, lens exchange, glaucoma procedures, or retinal interventions—every operation on the eye requires not only technical excellence, but also a profound understanding of the entire visual and neurological system.
Our goal is not merely to operate, but to understand vision holistically and improve it sustainably.

Experience that creates safety

Dr. Sylvia Paulig is among the most experienced ophthalmic surgeons in Europe and has performed more than 110,000 intraocular procedures. This surgical expertise is the foundation for the highest level of safety, precision, and reproducible quality—even in complex cases and for patients with individual needs.

Every procedure is based on:

• thorough preoperative evaluation and high-resolution diagnostics (OCT, biomarkers, retinal and nerve fiber analyses)
• individualized surgical planning
• the most advanced microsurgical techniques
• and structured, close follow-up care

Our surgical specialties

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is one of the most common—and at the same time most rewarding—procedures in medicine. At Paulig Eye & Health, however, it goes far beyond standard treatment.

We offer:

• state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgical techniques
• individualized selection of standard or premium intraocular lenses
• correction of refractive errors within the same procedure upon request
• maximum precision in lens calculation and positioning

The goal is not only clear vision, but optimized visual quality and quality of life.

Refractive Surgery & Lens Exchange

For patients who wish to become independent of glasses or contact lenses, we offer:

• laser-based procedures
• lens-based procedures
• refractive lens exchange with premium lenses

The choice of method is never schematic, but individualized—based on:

• corneal structure
• retinal and nerve status
• age
• lifestyle
• visual demands

Glaucoma Surgery

In glaucoma, it is not only about pressure values, but about preserving nerve fibers and visual function. Depending on the situation, we use:

• minimally invasive procedures
• laser-based techniques
• or classic microsurgical interventions

Always with the aim of stabilizing the course of the disease early and sustainably.

Retinal Surgery & Specialized Procedures

Diseases of the retina and macula are among the most demanding areas of eye surgery. Here, extensive surgical experience and the finest technique are essential in order to:

• preserve visual function
• stabilize structures
• and prevent progression

Beyond repair: A systemic medical approach

A key distinguishing feature of Paulig Eye & Health is our systemic medical perspective on the eye. The eye is not isolated—it is:

• part of the nervous system
• part of the vascular system
• and a sensitive reflection of aging and metabolic processes

That is why we integrate:

• biomarkers
• vascular diagnostics
• neurodegenerative risk profiles
• and preventive strategies

into our surgical decision-making.

For international patients

Many of our patients come from abroad, especially from the GCC region and the Middle East. We offer:

• structured treatment pathways
• English-speaking care
• coordinated diagnostics, surgery, and follow-up
• and, upon request, organizational support

Our commitment

For us, eye surgery is not only about technique—it is a responsibility for quality of life, orientation, and the future. If you are considering surgical treatment, we take the time for a well-founded, honest, and individualized consultation.
