About

Lejla Vajzovic is a leading ophthalmologist and researcher whose work centers on advancing retinal imaging and surgical techniques, with a particular focus on pediatric and complex vitreoretinal diseases. Her major contributions lie in pioneering the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in novel clinical settings, especially through handheld and intraoperative applications. Her highly cited 2025 paper, "New Directions for Ophthalmic OCT – Handhelds, Surgery, and Robotics" (9 citations), charts the evolution of OCT from a diagnostic tool for adults to a versatile instrument for surgery, pediatrics, and robotic assistance. This work underscores her role in expanding OCT’s utility beyond the clinic, enabling real-time imaging during delicate procedures and improving outcomes for infants and patients with mobility challenges. Dr. Vajzovic’s research has had a profound impact on how surgeons visualize and treat retinal disease, with her publications collectively shaping modern ophthalmic practice. Her achievements include leadership in clinical trials and surgical innovation, making her a pivotal figure in translating cutting-edge imaging technology into tangible patient care.
