Excellent ophthalmic expertise in the Kurpfalz

Prof. Dr. Mike Holzer is a specialist in ophthalmology with a focus on refractive laser and cataract surgery. For over two decades, he has significantly shaped operative ophthalmology in Germany - scientifically, clinically, and technologically. Today, he treats patients at the Weinheim location - with surgical precision, calm presence, and excellent technical equipment.

Two ophthalmologists, two locations, one strategy – in spring 2017, Prof. Tanja Rabsilber and Prof. Mike Holzer took over two practices from established owners in Mannheim and Weinheim.

After successful years as senior physicians at the Eye Clinic of the University of Heidelberg, the couple had decided to settle down.

Prof. Rabsilber is responsible for conservative ophthalmology in the Mannheim practice.

While Prof. Holzer mainly works surgically in Weinheim

"Together we cover a comprehensive spectrum of ophthalmology, and yet each of us has our own field."

Pioneer in laser surgery - from the femtosecond laser to SmartSurfACE

As the senior consultant at the University Eye Hospital Heidelberg, Prof. Holzer was a driving force in the department of refractive surgery there - and one of the first surgeons to use the femtosecond laser in cataract surgery. To this day, he uses it for particularly precise and tissue-sparing incisions - also for implantations of monofocal, trifocal, or EDOF lenses. In addition to Femto-LASIK, he also offers the touch-free SmartSurfACE / transPRK procedure - particularly suitable for sensitive corneas. His goal: vision independent of glasses with maximum safety.

"We also correct combined refractive errors so precisely that patients are independent of glasses afterward."

Science that remains - and surgical thinking that evolves

For many years, Prof. Holzer was part of the International Vision Correction Research Centre (IVCRC) in Heidelberg - a center for studies on lenses, laser procedures, and diagnostics. He maintains close ties with Heidelberg University Medicine to this day - as an adjunct professor as well as a speaker in professional societies and a consultant for new technologies.

Two locations - one digital file

Together with Prof. Tanja Rabsilber, who is in charge of the conservative focus in Mannheim, Prof. Holzer forms a team that brings together operative and conservative ophthalmology - digitally networked, humanly approachable, and medically at the highest level. His surgical signature is evident in every incision - thoughtful, clean, individual.
