The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) was founded in 1991 to promote education and research in the field of implant and refractive surgery and to advance and promote the study and practice of ophthalmology. ESCRS seeks to promote and support research in the field of intraocular lens implantation and refractive surgery and the dissemination of the useful results thereof. ESCRS has over 7,000 members from 130 countries world-wide.
ESCRS Congress 2026 11-15 September 2026, London
The 44th Congress of the ESCRS will take place on the banks of the River Thames from 11 to 15 September 2026. All signs point to surpassing even the remarkable success of the Copenhagen Congress in 2025!
As always, the ESCRS Congress will feature Main and Research Symposia, Arena Debates, The Global Refractive Symposium, 3D Surgical Microscope and AI Summit, ESCRS/EURETINA Symposium, Near Live Surgery, Instructional Courses, Wetlabs, Video Sessions, Posters and Oral Presentations as well as various other special interest days and sessions. ESCRS iNovation® Day might still be young, but it is already well-established and in high demand. It is never too early to get your tickets! Or, as a true Londoner would say: “It’s about bloody time…”
Building on the legacy of the recent ESCRS Congresses under the leadership of Filomena Ribeiro (to name just one of the society’s former presidents), we will continue promoting excellence in clinical practice, research, and education, while fostering a culture of sustainability and social responsibility.
