Highlights from ESCRS 2025
Copenhagen came alive in early September as more than 15,000 participants gathered for the ESCRS 2025 Congress, including nearly 10,000 ophthalmology professionals from around the world. The program spanned five days of educational activity and networking in the field of cataract and refractive surgery.
At HOYA Surgical Optics, ESCRS is always a special opportunity to connect with customers and distributor partners. This year was no exception: our exhibition booth welcomed visitors for live product demonstrations, while side events created space for deeper discussions and collaboration.
Honoring Visionary Leaders: The Hall of Masters
One of the highlights of 2025 was the launch of our new award program, the Hall of Masters—a recognition dedicated to surgeons whose contributions have advanced the field of ophthalmology. We are proud to announce the inaugural 16 inductees :
Ashvin Agarwal | Natalia Anisimova | Romesh Angunawela | Amanda Carones | Francesco Carones | Nino Hirnschall | Dylan Joseph | Ramin Khoramnia | Erik Mertens | Anurag Mishra | Santiago Montolio | Zoltan Nagy | Bob Osher | Richard Packard | Shreyas Ramamurthy | Supriya Sriganesh
This marks the beginning of a tradition that will continue to celebrate leadership in ophthalmology.
Educational Program
In addition to the exhibition, HOYA Surgical Optics was represented in the scientific program with a free paper on the global consolidated outcomes from the Vivinex™ Gemetric™ clinical trials, and presented two posters featuring different data sets from the COMP study for Vivinex Impress™.
Customer Events
We also hosted five educational events tailored to local audiences. These sessions, delivered in native languages, focused on the needs of some of our most important markets. Nearly 200 ophthalmology professionals from 10 countries joined these interactive meetings, sharing practical insights and exchanging experiences.
Thank you
We close this year’s congress season with a sincere thank you — to our colleagues who supported the exhibition and local meetings, to our customers and distributor partners for joining us, to the ESCRS organizers, and to the many new connections we made in Copenhagen.
