What our Students Say
Ana Hervás Ontiveros 🇪🇸
I attended the ESASO course about cornea and refractive surgery. The module was perfect organized, and lectures given by all the doctors improved my understanding about cornea pathology and refractive surgery. I consider the ESASO course programme as a great opportunity for young ophthalmologist to improve in our work and be able to specialize in a specific field.

Even if the course focus was wider than Corneal Refractive Surgery, I’m very happy to have attended it, because I had the opportunity to listen to great lectures from professors who lead the science of ophthalmology. The organisation was very good and very helpful, which makes things easier and enjoyable to take part in. I would recommend, especially to young ophthalmologist, to join ESASO courses, as it is a great experience for their professional education. Thank you

I’ve attended the Cornea and Refractive Surgery Module at ESASO, in Lugano. The organization was perfect with lessons, wetlab, coffee breaks and happy hour moments. It was a great opportunity to improve our surgical skills and to know some of the best experts in ophthalmology world. Not only, it was a great chance for meeting new people and wonderful colleagues from every part of world. Because life is not only surgery but also friendship and collaboration. I suggest this experience to all colleagues. Thank you ESASO.
