About Andrzej Grzybowski

Professor of Ophthalmology and Head of Institute for Research in Ophthalmology, Foundation for Ophthalmology Development, Poznan, Poland

What industry trends are catching your attention right now?

The new technologies to control myopia progression in children; application of AI-based devices in ophthalmology; and pharmacological treatment of presbyopia.

What is a little-known fact about you?

Before I started training in ophthalmology, I was quite proficient in experimental research in pathophysiology, and I did my PhD in cell culturing.

If you weren’t an ophthalmologist, what would you be doing instead?

I love reading; when I was in secondary school I read a lot of Russian and American literature. My current favorite writer is Robert Harris, who uniquely combines the art of writing a good novel with historical context. Perhaps, in another life, I would be a literature critic or writer.
