The difference is not knowing more options.
It is knowing when, for whom, and why to use them.

That is where evidence becomes clinical confidence.

The ESASO Foundation has lost a dear friend.

Antonio Fea was an active member of the ESASO family, serving on both our Faculty and Operational Committee. His expertise, passion and generosity made a valuable contribution to our community.

We were deeply fond of Antonio and are profoundly saddened by his untimely passing. His family, his friends and the entire ophthalmology community have lost a person of great human and professional value.

At this time of profound sadness, the entire ESASO community extend their heartfelt sympathy to Antonio’s family and to all those who loved him.

Pressure stability is not just a machine setting. It can influence chamber behaviour, visibility, tissue response and, ultimately, surgical strategy.

From anterior segment procedures and glaucoma surgery to vitreoretinal cases, understanding pressure dynamics can help surgeons make more informed decisions when the eye does not follow the expected plan.

Watching surgery is not the same as performing it.

Many ophthalmologists face the same challenges:

• Learning new techniques through videos alone
• Questioning whether their surgical plan is the best option
• Managing complications without direct expert feedback
• Developing skills in isolation

At ESASO, learning happens differently.

Through hands-on training, real case discussions, direct interaction with international faculty, and practical experience, participants gain something that goes beyond technical knowledge:

Confidence.
Because confidence is not taught in a lecture hall.
It is built through practice, mentorship, feedback, and experience.
Confidence isn't taught. It's trained.

Complex glaucoma rarely arrives alone.

Glaucoma decisions often connect with cataract, retina, cornea, ocular surface, MIGS, tubes and previous surgical history.

The ESASO Glaucoma Connections forum brings these interfaces into focus through wet lab training, interactive cases, controversies and complication grand rounds.

📅 4–6 February 2027

What makes an ESASO course truly valuable? Ask the people who experience it.

For Inna Dohvan, from the Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy in Odesa, Ukraine, taking part in ESASO means more than attending lectures: it is an opportunity to learn from leading experts, exchange experiences with colleagues and bring new knowledge back into daily clinical practice.

This is what ESASO education is built around: **high-level scientific training, international exchange and knowledge that can make a difference for patients.**

Thank you, Inna, for sharing your experience with us. ❤️

What does solar retinopathy actually look like?

Following every major eclipse, ophthalmologists encounter patients with visual symptoms caused by direct solar exposure.

Have you ever seen a case of solar retinopathy?
