Greetings from Cornea Society of India - KERACON 2024. We thank your support and active participation extended to us in all our CSI Academic endeavours. Building on the celebrated success of KERACON, we are once again pleased to invite you to the 12th Annual Meeting of the CSI – KERACON 2024 to be held from 6th | 7th | 8th December 2024 at the “Clarks Convention Center, Bengaluru.” A brilliant assemblage of faculty from India and abroad will be sharing their insight and expertise. We are expecting more than 700 delegates to attend the meeting this year and this will be an ideal platform for all of us to share the views and exchange technical aspects.
The field of “Cornea” has evolved as a sub-specialty of Ophthalmology especially in the past two decades. Advances in diagnostic instrumentation, surgical technology, and innovative surgical techniques have led to tremendous evolution in the field of corneal transplantation. Diagnostic and surgical procedures now interpret the cornea as a layered structure, and not just a single 0.5mm of clear tissue. Newer procedures such as collagen crosslinking, intra-corneal implants, anterior lamellar keratoplasty, endothelial keratoplasty, & femtosecond laser refractive surgery have changed the traditional approach to managing corneal disorders. In order to stay up to date with recent developments, we need to share our knowledge and experience as a group both at the national level and internationally across the globe.
Such a need in the field of Cornea, beckoned the formation of the “ Cornea Society of India ” – a fortified forum for the corneal fraternity in the country. The CSI aims to formulate current practice patterns, facilitate fellowships, and encourage scientific discussions with a primary goal to enhance patient care and management. It intends to evolve, with time, into a comprehensive guiding force, in the field of Cornea and External Diseases
