Dear Industry Partners
We are thrilled to invite you to join us for the 30th ESCRS Winter Meeting, taking place from 6-8 March 2026 in the vibrant Nordic capital of Helsinki, Finland. A first in ESCRS history!
This special edition will be held in collaboration with the Finnish Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (FSCRS) and promises to be a dynamic, face-to-face gathering that brings together ophthalmologists, researchers, and industry leaders for a uniquely interactive and engaging experience.
Building on the success of our 2025 Winter Meeting in Athens, this year’s programme will not only continue our popular immersive learning tracks in Corneal and Intraocular Refractive Surgery, but will also feature – for the first time – a dedicated focus on Presbyopia. This expanding field offers exciting opportunities for innovation and collaboration, and we invite our industry partners to be part of shaping the future of presbyopia treatment.
You can look forward to:
- A comprehensive scientific programme including Symposia, Instructional Courses, Free paper sessions, Theatre Sessions, and the Young Ophthalmologists & ESONT Programme.
- Joint sessions with FSCRS, including Live Surgery and Free Papers.
- Popular hands-on Wetlabs and networking events in a warm and collegial setting.
The ESCRS Winter Meeting has always been a strategic platform for industry visibility, product showcases, and direct engagement with leading surgeons and emerging talents in European ophthalmology. Helsinki 2026 offers the perfect opportunity to connect, collaborate, and inspire.
We look forward to working with you to make this 30th edition a truly memorable and impactful event.
See you in Helsinki in early March 2026!
Warm regards,
Burkhard Dick
ESCRS President
