The ambition for perfection has widened the goals the meeting aims to achieve, however the scope of its main objectives has maintained constant. The participants will be presented with the newest information concerning disorders of the anterior segment of the eye through an interactive process of a presentation followed by an open discussion.


The members of the Organizing Committee are well-known experts in the cornea and refractive surgery field, in a meeting that provides a forum for the presentation of recent data and the exchange of new ideas by the most prominent scientists. The location has been selected in order to provide a relaxing and inspiring environment, enhancing fruitful discussions and innovative future research directions.

This year’s scientific program will start on Friday 2 July and will end on Sunday 4 July, 2004. Onsite registration will be on Thursday afternoon and on Friday morning.
