About this course
We are pleased to offer an intensive hands-on training workshop, conducted under microscopes and guided by the close supervision of leading lecturers. This unique program provides an exceptional opportunity to compare four of the most advanced techniques for the treatment of corneal ulcers.
Participants will work directly with A Cell, BioSIS, BioCorneaVet, and AJLVET Collagen Membrane, each prepared for in-depth evaluation of their specific advantages and clinical applications.
This two-day immersive workshop will feature high-quality instructional videos, expert tips and tricks, and extensive practical training focused on the manipulation and suturing of these materials.
All of this will take place in our newly established Education Center in beautiful Prague. Come and join us for two inspiring days of education, networking, and a great time with colleagues.
