Prof. Dr. Marcus Kernt

After completing his medical degree at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), Prof. Dr. med. habil. Marcus Kernt completed his five years of specialist training in ophthalmology working under Prof. Anselm Kampik at the LMU Eye Hospital.

Over his many years working as a specialist at the LMU Eye Hospital, which included managing consultations for diabetic eye diseases, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts and refractive surgery, he also often travelled abroad to pursue research and further specialisation, broadening his extensive practical knowledge and advanced scientific expertise in these fields.
Furthermore, Prof. Kernt trained internationally in vitreoretinal surgery and retinology, as well in oculoplastic and lid surgery: he spent this time in London training alongside leading specialists in the field, such as Prof. Alan Bird, Prof. Zdenek J. Gregor and Prof. Richard Collin at Moorefields Eye Hospital.
