“London is the ideal place for eye surgeons, scientists, and industry partners from all over the world to meet. This premier event is a must-attend for all refractive surgeons. It will be amazing to speak on future trends in ophthalmology, and that is what AECOS stands for: a unique society dedicated to advancing vision care and improving patients' quality of life through innovation, education, and advocacy. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to enhance your skills and network with the best in the field!”

“London's 2,000 years of history, boasting more iconic architecture, landmarks, museums, shows, theatres, parks, shopping, and restaurants than almost any other city in the world, and its multicultural dynamism, makes it a truly international destination. It is also the perfect venue for AECOS Europe 2025, a one-of-a-kind meeting where the cutting edge of anterior segment surgery is explored and created by a diverse group of ophthalmologists, industry, and financial experts. Make sure that you explore both in June 2025.”
