The ELZA Institute heads to Jeddah for the first SSCRS congress, 24–26 September 2026. Prof. Farhad Hafezi and Nikki Hafezi present four talks spanning personalised cross-linking, epi-on CXL, corneal biomechanics and ELZA-PACE.
At Keratoconus 360, Prof. Farhad Hafezi of the ELZA Institute explored the evolution of CXL, from the Dresden protocol to Individualized corneal cross-linking protocols like ELZA-sub400 and PACE.
Dr. Emilio Torres-Netto presented ELZA-PACE cross-linking at BRASCRS 2025, a customised, tissue-preserving keratoconus vision rehabilitation method with promising clinical outcomes.
At EgSCRS, ELZA’s pyramid approach to keratoconus: ELZA-sub400, PACE, ECO-CAIRS, and AI-guided diagnostics was presented in detail.
