The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) Conference was held in London this September, and organisers were given the unenviable task of staging an event that lived up to the reputation established by previous hosts Paris, Lisbon and Nice. In terms of numbers, the event did not disappoint, with 5,000 delegates 4,000 of which were surgeons attending the event. This attendance is similar to that of the American version (ASCRS) for numbers of surgeons, although the ASCRS manages to attract around three times as many exhibitors.
