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.

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.
