Dr Isaak Fischinger, MD

Dr Isaak Fischinger has been practising ophthalmology for over 10 years, during which time he has developed his expertise in practice, research and teaching. His experience in all these directions has seen him work not only internationally, but also under various leading professor doctors. At the Spreebogen Eye Clinic in Berlin, he is responsible for many treatments from diagnosis to surgery.

‘My goal is to improve the lives of patients by rectifying their eye issues and giving them sharper vision again. By focusing on personalised care, I like to sit down with each patient and carefully assess the condition of their eyes and what their specific needs are.’

Dr Fischinger’s Professional Experience

Dr Fischinger began his journey in 2012 in Zurich, as a research assistant at the Institute for Refractive and Ophthalmic Surgery; he still holds this position today. Shortly after joining this institute, he became an assistant physician there too.

Now a specialist in ophthalmology with a diverse background of experience, Dr Fischinger is not only treating patients in Berlin, but also participates in scientific cooperation and teaching at Kepler University Hospital Linz in Austria. Furthermore, he collaborates with Prof. Dr Dr Seiler, who developed refractive corneal laser eye surgery.
