We believe that advancing ophthalmic care means working at the intersection of innovation and real-world patient needs. Sunday’s programme at ESCRS 2025 in Copenhagen showcases that approach, spanning complex corneal rehabilitation, pediatric screening insights, and forward-thinking refractive strategies.
