Swiss ophthalmology thrives on collaboration between subspecialties – and at ELZA, that spirit is embedded in everything we do. From biomechanical corneal solutions to advanced surgical sequencing, our team brings deep expertise to ESCRS 2025’s second day in Copenhagen, offering sessions that bridge science and surgical precision.

On Friday, 12 September 2025, the ELZA team brings that expertise to annual meeting of the European Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) in Copenhagen, Denmark, sharing insights spanning keratoconus, glaucoma innovation, intricate corneal procedures, and a global consensus in cross-linking.
