Euroeyes International Medical Advisory Board

The EuroEyes International Medical Advisory Board (IMAB) annually brings together the world’s leading eye specialists, including practicing surgeons and academics, to discuss the latest scientific developments in refractive and cataract surgery.

The EuroEyes IMAB comprises a group of internationally renowned ophthalmologists and opinion leaders in the field of refractive surgery. The board advises the EuroEyes senior management team on the latest scientific findings and their derivations for concrete initiatives and further developments.
