Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons
As part of her commitment to education and innovation, Dr. María Soledad Romero participated in the Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). This prestigious event brings together top experts to discuss advancements in cataract and refractive surgery. Moreover, Dr. Romero led the instructional course “Different Methods for Intraocular Lens Exchange”. She was joined by renowned surgeons from Singapore, India, and the United States, making the session a truly international collaboration.
What is the ESCRS Congress?
The Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is one of the most important international events in ophthalmology. In addition, it provides a platform for sharing research, exploring new cataract surgery techniques, and discussing innovations in refractive surgery. Each year, thousands of specialists attend to learn from top professionals.
The 37th ESCRS Congress took place in Paris from September 14th to 18th. During the event, experts presented the latest advances in cataract surgery, including new intraocular lenses and modern surgical techniques. Furthermore, the congress featured live surgeries, panel discussions, and hands-on courses to help participants refine their clinical skills.
Dr. Romero’s Contribution
Dr. Romero’s course focused on intraocular lens (IOL) exchange, a complex challenge in cataract and refractive surgery. When an IOL is misaligned, loses clarity, or causes complications, surgeons must determine the best replacement method. To address this, Dr. Romero and her team shared surgical approaches, real-life case studies, and hands-on techniques.
As a result of her participation, Dr. Romero reinforced her reputation as a leader in cataract and refractive surgery. By sharing her expertise, she contributed to the advancement of surgical education and improved patient outcomes.
The Future of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
Advancements in technology continue to reshape cataract and refractive surgery. For this reason, the ESCRS Congress remains essential for ophthalmologists who want to stay at the forefront of innovation. Experts discussed new developments in laser-assisted cataract surgery, premium intraocular lenses, and artificial intelligence in ophthalmology.
Ultimately, Dr. Romero’s involvement in this event highlights her dedication to improving cataract and refractive surgery. Not only does her work benefit fellow surgeons, but it also enhances the quality of care for patients worldwide.
