IROC-conference: Anterior Segment Excellence 2022

news-march-2020

For the first time, IROC is organizing the "Anterior Segment Excellence" meeting on 29.10.2022 at the Hyatt Hotel. In three sessions, current topics in refractive surgery, corneal diseases and their treatment, as well as the latest artificial lens implants will be discussed. Lecturers are leading experts from the entire German-speaking area. Four CME points have been applied for the conference and participation is free of charge. The definitive program will be published at the end of August. Due to the limited number of participants, early registration is recommended.

Information event:
"Cataract surgery - a short procedure for clear vision"

Innovative ophthalmology means state-of-the-art procedures without pain in a short time. Dr. Jascha Wendelstein from the Institute for Refractive and Ophthalmo-Surgery (IROC), gives insights into cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange during the patient information evening. The Institute for Refractive and Ophthalmic Surgery (IROC) is Zurich's leading centre for ophthalmology and eye surgery. We cover the complete spectrum of surgical ophthalmology and offer the most modern examination techniques and therapeutic procedures at the latest state of medical science, especially in the field of cataract surgery and laser vision correction - it is not without reason that the world's first eye laser treatment was performed by our founder and head physician Prof. Dr. med. Dr. rer. nat. Theo Seiler as early as 1986. The upcoming information evening "Cataract surgery - a short procedure for clear vision" deals with the most common operation in the world, cataract surgery. The evening will explain the most important questions about the operation, how does cataract develop, what do I have to consider, do I need glasses or are there possibilities for spectacle independence and will provide in-depth answers to all your questions about the subject of lens exchange.
