The ELZA Institute travels to the 44th ESCRS Congress at ExCeL London, 11 to 15 September 2026, with seven podium presentations, eight invited lectures, six chaired sessions and five e-posters. The programme spans ten-year cross-linking outcomes, customised ELZA-PACE, ECO-CAIRS ring segments and keratoconus screening.
The 18th CXL Experts’ Meeting, led by ELZA’s CMO, Prof. Farhad Hafezi, was held last weekend in Zurich, Switzerland.
The ELZA Institute’s surgeons and researchers spent four days in Vienna at the 36th Congress of the ESCRS, and went to the meeting with a busy schedule!
