EGS Surgical hands-on courses
The EGS is pleased to present Surgical hands-on courses for the 16th EGS Congress in Dublin, 1-4 June 2024.
Launched by the EGS for the first time and delivered by internationally renowned glaucoma surgeons, the dry labs will cover all aspects of glaucoma surgery, from ‘conventional’ filtration surgery to newer techniques and devices. Participants will have the opportunity to develop not only the technical skill set, but also an in-depth understanding of the role of these procedures in glaucoma care.
There is a limited number of attendees for each course, so please register as soon as possible to reserve your seat.
Please note that the courses can only be booked in combination with a congress registration.
