Marianne Shahsuvaryan

As an ophthalmologist, Marianne sees 15-20 patients each day; as a surgeon, she performs three operations per week. “Combining medical therapy and surgery is a privilege and gives me great satisfaction,” says the Professor of Ophthalmology  at the Department of Ophthalmology at Yerevan State Medical University, in Yerevan, Armenia. “The most challenging thing about it all is to combine it all and do it all the best way.” Still, she also finds time for an eclectic range of hobbies which, she reveals, include knitting and billiards.
