Join us for Cornea Day at ESCRS 2026
EuCornea’s Cornea Day will take place on Friday, 11 September 2026 at the ESCRS Congress in London.
Running from 08:00 to 16:30, the programme will explore four key areas:
- Cataract surgery and corneal conditions
- Ocular surface disease
- Corneal surgery
- Keratoconus and crosslinking
The programme brings together leading international experts to discuss current evidence, evolving techniques and some of the most important questions facing corneal specialists today.
Please note: Cornea Day requires separate registration from the main ESCRS Congress. Sessions will not be live-streamed, recorded or made available on demand, so delegates must attend in person to experience the programme.
EuCornea at the DOG Congress in Berlin
EuCornea will participate in the 124th Congress of the German Society of Ophthalmology, taking place in Berlin from 24 to 27 September 2026.
The EuCornea Focus Session, Cataract Surgery in Eyes with Complex Corneal Diseases, will take place on Thursday, 24 September from 08:30 to 09:45 in the Auditorium von Graefe.
Cataract surgery in eyes affected by complex corneal and ocular surface conditions can present significant challenges, from limited visibility during surgery to the management of local or systemic inflammation before and after the procedure.
Chaired by Claus Cursiefen, José Luis Güell and Jesper Hjortdal, the session brings together international experts to discuss strategies for achieving successful outcomes in complex cataract surgery.
Watch the EuCornea IME Symposium on demand
The Independent Medical Education Symposium from the 17th EuCornea Congress is now available to watch online.
The educational resource gives ophthalmologists who were unable to attend in Porto, or who would like to revisit the discussion, an opportunity to access the symposium at a time that suits them.
