He obtained board certification as an Ophthalmologist in 1996 and worked until 2005 at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Lübeck. During this period he also was associated as an Honorary Scientist to the Institute of Biomedical Optics (former Medical Laser Center) of the University of Lübeck.

Dart, J. Richard O. Collin and Geoffrey E. Rose in corneal and oculoplastic surgery. He also worked in the Basic Science Laboratory of Sir Peng T. Khaw on corneal wound healing.

From 2000, Prof. Geerling worked as Corneal Consultant in Lübeck introducing corneal lamellar surgery. In 2003 he completed his habilitation and was promoted to a lecturer at the University of Lübeck with a thesis on Natural Tear Substitutes. In 2005 he was called to serve an Assistant Professor for Ophthalmology at the University of Würzburg and became Deputy Director of the Department of Ophthalmology. In Würzburg he received subspecialist training in glaucoma surgery. In 2011 he moved as Professor for Ophthalmology and Director of the Department of Adult and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Duesseldorf.

Research Activities

Prof. Geerling's clinical and scientific interests and activities are focused on natural tear substitutes, tissue constructs for ocular surface reconstruction and regeneration as well as new transplantation techniques for the treatment of corneal and ocular surface disorders, in particular dry eye, corneal diseases and keratectasia. He was one of the first to introduce modern lamellar corneal graft techniques in Germany and intraoperative optical coherence tomography in ophthalmology.

His surgical specialty lies in the anterior segment of the eye, with a particular focus on corneal transplantation. In addition he is specialised in glaucoma and oculoplastic surgery, including lacrimal and orbital tumor surgery. He has published more than 150 manuscripts in scientific journals and books and has edited two books.
