  "account": "EuroEyes International has been awarded the Zeiss Award for the 10th consecutive year, solidifying its position as a market leader. The Hamburg-based company, founded in 1993, specializes in correcting presbyopia, performing cataract surgery, and executing intraocular lens procedures using cutting-edge techniques and technology. With a team of laser eye surgeons, EuroEyes has completed hundreds of thousands of operations, fostering a reputation for rapid, effective, high-quality care that has enabled its expansion worldwide.

As a trained ophthalmologist, Jørgensen, who performs over 1,000 individual operations annually, runs against the stereotype that doctors are disinterested in business. Starting with outpatient work in Hamburg, he became an early adopter of laser surgery, which transformed the field by being fast, safe, and eliminating the need for lengthy hospital stays. Word of mouth and celebrity endorsements played a significant role in attracting new clients, especially in China, where 90 percent of the population is myopic.",
