ESCRS Vienna

The 41st Congress of the European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) was held in the prestigious Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Centre, Vienna – the hometown of ESCRS’s own president Professor Oliver Findl (pictured below, presenting an award at the opening ceremony) – from September 8-12.

With a phenomenal 14,000 delegates in attendance on a fabulous sunny weekend, this year was a conference with a difference.

Delegates were given the opportunity to experience near live surgery, an active arena to participate in lively debate, with audiences moving across the floor to join those speakers whose ideas they were in favour of, and to keep the momentum going delegates danced the night away at a wonderful Viennese Charity Ball.
