Biography

Zoltán Z. Nagy, MD, PhD, DSc is a Professor of Ophthalmology in the Department of Ophthalmology at Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. He received his MD in 1986 at the Szent-Györgyi Albert Medical University, Szeged, Hungary. In the same year, he started his residency program in ophthalmology. After specialization in general ophthalmology, he received a scholarship in the Department of Ophthalmology in Erlangen at the Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg with Professor Gottfried Otto Naumann. In Erlangen he studied the role of secondary ultraviolet exposure in eyes that had had refractive surgery before. He published an article in Ophthalmology (1997) on the harmful role of ultraviolet exposure in eyes with previous photorefractive keratectomy during the avascular corneal healing. Afterward he did a fellowship at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, England.

Dr. Nagy is a dedicated anterior segment surgeon. In 2008, he performed the first femtosecond laser cataract surgery in a human eye. His scientific contribution was awarded with the Waring Prize in 2010 in New York. In 2012, he received the Casebeer Prize from the International Society of Refractive Surgery, among numerous other awards. He and his co-workers published more than 20 peer-reviewed articles in the field of femtolaser-assisted cataract surgery. He receives invitations for live surgery events as a surgeon and presenter during international congresses. Presently he serves as Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Semmelweis University.
