On June 16, 2019, Prof. Jesper Hjortdal, of the Aarhus University Hospital gave a presentation at the SOE (Societas Ophthalmologica Europæa, or European Society of Ophthalmology) on “Adverse immune signatures after corneal transplantation” based on the preliminary findings in the VISICORT study. This year the SOE held its bi-annual meeting in Nice, France. The symposium on “The Bad and Ugly Side of Corneal Grafting: How to Avoid and Manage Complications” was well attended.
VISICORT PI Prof. Conor Murphy, RCSI, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland also presented at the symposium. Conor’s presentation was titled: “Primary failure after corneal transplantation, definition and incidence”.
The SOE’s Society’s mission is to become the central point of European Ophthalmology primarily through education as well as fostering closer collaboration with Subspecialty Societies and Supranational Organisations within Europe and beyond.
