Assist. Prof. Karin Ursula Horváth, MD, PhD, graduated from the George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences and Technology in Târgu - Mureș, Romania in 1991. She completed several long-term fellowships at university clinics in Germany and Hungary, devoting her attention to oculo-orbital complications of rhino-sinus etiology, anterior segment surgery, treatment of various corneal pathologies by the crosslinking method, modern lens surgery with premium intraocular implants and more recently to the study of the correlation of retinal microcirculation biomarkers with coronary-cardiac and neurological pathology.

Scientific research had an important place in her training, being the coordinator of an experimental research team studying the influence of systemic selective alpha-blocker and anxiolytic treatment on intraoperative iris behavior of the floppy iris type. In recent years, she has been a member of an international research team studying the effect of crosslinking irradiation on ocular and eyelid collagen tissue.

She has promoted her results through presentations at international congresses of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Deutsche Ophthalmologische Gesellschaft, European Society of Cataract and Refractive Society, Black Sea Ophthalmology Society, Balkan Society of ENT, South-East European Ophthalmological Society, as well as through numerous publications. She has been an invited lecturer at national and international events, and has also been an invited surgeon at live ocular surgical broadcasts.
