Registration is now open for the 44th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). This is the once-a-year occasion when more than 16,000 ophthalmology experts from 120 countries come together to present and discuss their latest discoveries for improving and preserving eyesight.

The preliminary programme is now available and includes research on corrective eye surgery, cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, glaucoma, infectious eye diseases and imaging of the eye: https://congress.escrs.org/programme/

Free registration is available for bone fide journalists who wish to attend the Congress in person. For full details of our media policy and information on how to register, visit: https://congress.escrs.org/congress-information/media-policy/

We welcome the media to the Congress and all sessions are open to journalists. A press centre with internet connection and printing facilities will be available. We strongly recommend you register now, rather than onsite in London, and book your accommodation. A selection of scientific sessions will be live streamed, and most will be recorded and available online for registered media approximately 24 hours after each session.

The 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. It has over 7,500 members from 130 countries worldwide.
