“Despite being a small organ, ophthalmology covers a very diverse spectrum of different diseases. In the case of retinoblastoma, the triad of eye – child – tumor was so captivating that I have been dealing with it more intensively since 2006 and was able to gain a lot of experience and expertise at the Essen University Eye Clinic. For me, KAKS is the ideal complement to medical work in terms of information, promotion of scientific and clinical projects and support for affected families. You meet very enriching people in this environment. That’s what makes the voluntary work so valuable.”
