Welcome Message

We are delighted to have you join us for the 29th ESCRS Winter Meeting, which will take place from 28 February – 2 March 2025 in Athens, Greece.

This year it is our great pleasure to bring the 2025 Winter Meeting back to Athens, where it last took place in 2019.

It will take place in collaboration with the Hellenic Society of Intraocular Implant and Refractive Surgery (HSIOIRS).

As always, the ESCRS Winter Meeting is a unique opportunity for ophthalmologists, researchers, and industry representatives to exchange ideas and insights on the latest advances and challenges in cataract and refractive surgery, whilst being the ideal forum to network and forge new connections in a cozy environment.

Following the last successful Winter Meeting 2024 in Frankfurt, this year will again be 100% face-to-face.

The Programme will again feature an immersive learning track on Corneal Refractive Surgery and another one on Intraocular Refractive Surgery, a selection of Symposia and Free Paper sessions, Instructional Courses and, of course, the Young Ophthalmologists and ESONT Programme.

The new networking features experienced in Frankfurt, as well as the Wetlabs will once again be available!

The joint participation with the HSIORS will translate into joint Free Paper sessions and a Live Surgery Session amongst others.

We look forward to making this Meeting a memorable and rewarding experience for all and we can’t wait to see you in Athens End-February 2025!
