Jointly organised by the ESCRS Cornea Committee and EuCornea, Cornea Day featured a full programme exploring cataract surgery in eyes with corneal conditions, ocular surface disease, corneal surgery, keratoconus and crosslinking.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the scientific exchange throughout the day. A selection of photographs from Cornea Day and EuCornea’s time at ESCRS is now available online.
