I’m working at the Universitary Hospital of Parma, Italy, as an Associate Professor in Ophthalmology. I’m 47 years old and I first heard of ESASO during the annual meeting organized by the Italian Universitary Society of Ophthalmology which was held in Lugano in 2015.

I’ve just attended the ESASO “Surgical Retina 2016” module (intermediate-advanced level). I strongly encourage the ocular surgeon which is approaching the surgery of the posterior pole to attend this course; it is perfectly organized (in the wonderful USI campus) both from a theoretical and from a practical point of view. This module is a one-week of full immersion with some of the best experts on this topic completely at your disposal. So, what can you ask for more?

Now, I have to start putting into practice the advice and teachings received step-by-step, with the usual respect that each of us must have for every single patient, working to improve their vision and to prevent blindness.
