World-Leading Surgeon to Give Londoner's a Festive Treat .
Having operated on more than 75,000 patients, whilst at the same time building an empire of eye clinics that spans the globe, Dr Jørn Jørgensen has now landed in the capital and is set to give hard-of-sight Londoners a festive treat.
In a free ticketed event, the Danish star will host anyone feeling the strain of long-sightedness with a groundbreaking lecture that will reveal the latest help available for sufferers. 60% of Londoners over the age of 40 suffer from the condition.
Dr Jørgensen will host the complimentary drinks and canapes event at his new high-tech clinic, LEC London, just doors from Harrods on the Brompton Road, December 28th at 6.30pm.
The pioneering surgeon has set the world record for treating long-sighted (presbyiopic) patients and has established scores of clinics across China, Germany, Denmark and now the UK.

Dr Jørgensen said: "Presbyopia is something that everyone over 40 will ultimately one day be faced with. At LEC London we have a very strong team of experts, representing three decades of experience in the field of refractive surgery. Presbyopia is an age-related condition and affects the flexibility of the lens in the eye.
"There are certain things we can do to help restore the natural function of the eye, there is no cure for presbyopia, but lens surgery and laser help treat the effects of the condition.
"Informing people is key. We look forward to welcoming people on the 28th December."
In a significant post-Brexit boost, Dr Jørgensen's company, Euroeyes, one of Germany's largest surgical groups, is now set to expand throughout the UK.
The pandemic has seen a huge increase in the waiting lists for people waiting for eye treatments across the country. Euroeyes surgeon Professor Knorz performed surgery on his own daughter over Christmas.
Three decades ago he himself had laser treatment that allowed him to live a life without glasses and was now able to pass the gift of sight on to his daughter.
Prof Knorz said: “My daughter, Caroline, was nervous but felt confident because I have so much experience. She had just completed her master in human biology immediately prior to the surgery. Caroline now plans to go to Adelaide, Australia, for her PhD early next year."
