Welcome to ARI-BSCRS 2012!

On this occasion we join the efforts of Alicante Refractiva Internacional and the Belgian Society of Refractive Surgery for a unique experience. The experience of Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery. A distinguished group of surgeons will be faced for the first time in their professional careers with the Femtosecond technologies available. Live surgery will be the main issue involved in the program, with the facts and the new feelings that this type of new surgery is offering to the experienced surgeon.

This will be also completed with the most innovative and uprising intraocular lenses, premium designs to improve patients’ vision at all distances.

I am sure that you will enjoy this year ARI 2012 jointly with our Belgian colleagues. The meeting will be superb and it will be, without doubt, an historical moment in cataract and refractive surgery, being the first course on Femtosecond Cataract Surgery will be celebrated in Europe this year.

I am sure that you will enjoy this exciting event with all of us.
