The European Symposium of The American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery (AECOS) is unique among ophthalmology meetings. With a focus on fostering communication and collaboration between anterior segment surgeons and industry, the symposium brings together leading thought leaders, ophthalmic executives, venture capitalists, and technology entrepreneurs to advance vision care and improve patients’ quality of life through innovation, education, and advocacy.
The next installment of this exciting meeting will take place in the iconic city of London in June 2025—space is limited, so register early!
“AECOS, now in its second decade of existence, is unique in unifying industry and opinion leaders in ophthalmology with the distinct goal of furthering ophthalmic innovation and development at all levels, from new technologies to clever and ingenious ways to engage all involved in the specialty. This year will include an extra special focus on new technologies and a President’s symposium on how AECOS and its unique mix can collaborate and contribute to solving global ophthalmic problems. There is already considerable interest, so be sure to book early, as space is limited. We look forward to welcoming you to AECOS Europe in June 2025!”

“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.”

“THE meeting of the year for me, AECOS Europe 2025, is marked in my calendar already! If you haven’t been to AECOS Europe, you are missing out on a truly unique meeting of some of the most influential and energetic leaders in this era in ophthalmology. The 2025 meeting will also feature a young ophthalmologist program focused on becoming an #eyefluencer and partnering with industry. It’s going to be another exciting and impactful meeting—book it now or you will have major FOMO!”
