Prof. Dr. med. Mathias Maier

Prof. Dr. med. Mathias Maier is an ophthalmologist whose clinical work focuses on preserving and restoring vision through diagnosing and surgically treating retinal and vitreous disorders. At TUM Clinic Rechts der Isar in Munich, where he serves as senior consultant and deputy director of the clinic and polyclinic for ophthalmology, he manages complex conditions affecting the eye's posterior segment. His particular interests include retinal diseases, macular disorders and diabetic changes that can threaten central vision. Much of his specialist work involves delicate procedures inside the eye, where surgical precision is essential to protect the retina and optimize visual outcomes. He treats conditions such as vitreomacular traction and other disorders at the vitreous-retina interface, as well as cases requiring vitreoretinal surgery. His broader ophthalmological practice also encompasses cataract treatment, allowing him to address different causes of visual impairment. The doctor's approach combines surgical practice with an interest in the development of more effective ways to diagnose and treat retinal disease. He has conducted clinical research on macular conditions and treatment strategies for age-related retinal disorders, while also contributing to specialist medical education.
