At, advancing ophthalmic care means working at the intersection of innovation and real-world patient needs. Monday’s programme at ESCRS 2025 in Copenhagen showcases that approach, spanning complex corneal rehabilitation, pediatric screening insights, and forward-thinking refractive strategies.
The closing day of ESCRS 2025 offers more than just a wrap-up – it’s a showcase of how research and surgical practice evolve through shared expertise. For ELZA, Monday is about contributing knowledge that challenges convention and offers practical solutions, from advancing cross-linking protocols to optimising glaucoma management.
