The 8th Annual AECOS European Symposium of The American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery was held in Sitges from June 6 to 9. One more year, Dr. Jorge Alió, the first Spanish member of the prestigious American Ophthalmological Society, attended this important meeting to discuss keratopigmentation.

As a pioneer in the area of refractive surgery, modern cataract surgery techniques and new intraocular lenses, Jorge Alió participated in debates on these topics. Furthermore, he shared his point of view in sessions called ‘Challenges of training young ophthalmologists in refractive surgery’ and the ‘Fake News and True Stories of Premium Lenses’.
Dr. Alió, who has recently entered the ‘Forbes’ list of the 100 best doctors in Spain, also took the opportunity to hold meetings with other ophthalmologists, highlighting his studies on cell therapy for treatment of keratoconus at advanced stages.
