Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

We look forward to welcoming you to Florence and to the next European Glaucoma Society Congress in May 2018.

Each new EGS Congress builds on past successes: newly established standards, a varied and stimulating scientific programme and a wide range of instructional courses offered at different levels to meet the varying needs of our delegates.

An extensive array of scientific posters, special interest groups and a vast exhibition add to the variety of this well-established scientific gathering, which has been able to attract trainees, general ophthalmologists and glaucomatologists alike. Our friendly, informal, multi-cultural environment encourages networking, sharing and exchange.

Florence, an open-air museum, is the ideal location to host the event. The upcoming 2018 edition promises to be another exciting meeting that you can't afford to miss. Your active participation will make it worthwhile.

Best wishes and see you soon!
