Dear colleagues,

​

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 20th Symposium of the Croatian Organisation for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (CroCRS), which will take place from 3 to 5 October 2025 in the stunning city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, at the Royal Hotel Neptun.

​

Continuing the tradition of excellence, this year’s symposium gathers leading Croatian and international experts in cataract and refractive surgery. In partnership with key ophthalmic societies, we will explore the latest trends, surgical innovations, and management strategies for anterior segment diseases. This year, we are honored to announce that we will be hosting the European Association for Vision and Eye Research (EVER).

​

We particularly highlight the Educational Programme for Young Cataract Surgeons, focusing on real-world challenges and practical solutions in cataract surgery.

​

Dubrovnik – a city of history, beauty, and inspiration – provides an ideal backdrop for exchanging knowledge, experiences, and ideas.

​

Registration is free for residents, and CME credits will be awarded in accordance with the Croatian Medical Chamber guidelines.

​

We look forward to seeing you in Dubrovnik!

​

Warm regards,
Prof. Ivanka Petric Vicković, MD, PhD
President, CroCRS
