Life

Koch is the son of the lawyer Hans-Reinhard Koch and his wife Christa-Maria geb. Dintelmann. After attending the Beethoven High School in Bonn , he began studying medicine at the University of Mainz in 1960 , where he was active in the corps of his father and grandfathers, Hassia-Gießen zu Mainz . In 1961 he moved to the University of Bonn , where he was active in the Corps Rhenania . After further studies in Munich and again in Bonn, he passed his state examination in 1966 and was awarded a Dr. med. PhD. He received his clinical training in Bonn at the Clinical Institute for Experimental Ophthalmology and at the University Eye Clinic. Here he completed his habilitation in ophthalmology and experimental ophthalmology in 1979 . His clinical teachers were Hans Karl Müller , Erich Weigelin and Michael Ulrich Dardenne , his experimental teacher was Otto Hockwin. Koch was appointed associate professor in 1979 and Professor H2 in 1983. In 1978 he received a Heisenberg grant from the German Research Foundation . In 1982 he moved to Dardenne's department for microsurgery of the eye, where he worked as a senior physician until 1989. He then founded a private eye clinic with Dardenne and Peter Brauweiler, the Dardenne Clinic in Bonn. After Dardenne's death in 2004 he founded - together with Brauweiler and Türkdamar - a second private eye clinic, the Bonner Hochkreuzklinik . He retired on March 1, 2018.

Koch has been running the D. & L. Koch Verlag in Bonn since 2013, where he mainly devotes himself to medical and student history . Koch is married and has two sons and two daughters. One of the sons is also an ophthalmologist.

Scientific work

In the first ten years of his professional activity, Koch was primarily active in scientific research and worked primarily in the fields of physiological optics, genetics, biochemistry and toxicology of the eye, biostatistics and imaging processes on the eye. From 1989 Koch mainly dealt with the problems of microsurgery of the anterior segment of the eye. He was one of the first German specialists in the phacoemulsification of cataracts. He developed various types of intarocular lenses , numerous surgical instruments for eye surgery, techniques and complication management for cataract and iris surgery and - together with Karlheinz Schmidt - an iris prosthesis, the first flexible and natural-looking implant to replace the missing or injured iris.

  • Artificial iris

  • Partial iris prosthesis according to Koch

Koch has often been invited to lectures and operational demonstrations on all continents. He has published over 100 scientific papers, ten books and numerous educational films, supervised over 100 dissertations and given over 1000 lectures. Two of his students have chairs for ophthalmology: Thomas Kohnen and Hiroko Miyajima. Koch is also particularly interested in the history of medicine, especially the history of ophthalmology. He has also presented numerous publications on this.
