congress

On August 27–28th, 2020, some of ELZA’s surgeons and researchers attended the 113th Annual Congress of the SOG/SSO (the Swiss Ophthalmological Society).
ELZA’s Medical Director, Prof. Farhad Hafezi was an invited international guest speaker at the  recent 13th Congrès D’Ophthalmologique Practique (AOPA) at the Hotel Sheraton Alger in Algiers. The congress covered all of ophthalmology, but had a large cornea and refractive sessions, where Prof. Hafezi gave presentations on ELZA’s current research work. His podium presentations reviewed ELZA’s research into refractive surgery, corneal cross-linking and PACK-CXL for the treatment of corneal infection. He also celebrated his birthday while attending the congress!
I fly. A lot. To educate, to inform, to train scientists and surgeons in the latest advances in cross-linking. Yes, I worry about my carbon footprint. Yes, I miss my family when I’m gone. But it’s important that it’s done, and I explain in this blog post exactly why that’s true.
ELZA participates at the 2017 meeting of the Cornea Society of India.
