The mission of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery is to raise the standards and skills of anterior segment surgeons through clinical and practice management education and to work with patients, government and the medical community to promote delivery of quality eye care.
The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons is the leading forum in Europe for discussion, learning and the development of cataract and refractive surgery. Evolution in procedures is the direct result of ophthalmologists teaching each other and learning from each other. Attracting members from across Europe and the rest of the world the activities of the ESCRS provide the means and forum for this learning experience. The ESCRS, established in 1991, evolved from the European Intraocular Implant Club which had been established for the previous ten years.
