The European School for Advanced Studies in Ophthalmology (ESASO) in Lugano, Switzerland, is an international center of education for ophthalmology specialists. A twin ESASO Academy, with the same profile, will start in mid-October in Lublin. It will be the second such center in Europe and the third in the world.
The school will be headed by prof. Robert Rejdak – Vice-Rector for Internationalization and Digitization of Medical University of Lublin, prof. Kamil Torres – Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs of Medical University of Lublin.
The strategy of the European School of Advanced Ophthalmological Studies also assumes the participation in the cycle of training of ophthalmologists from neighboring countries, including Belarus, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, as well as Georgia, Romania and other countries. In the Lublin center they will have the opportunity to acquire skills in cataract surgery, glaucoma, cornea, retinal diseases, as well as to perform plastic surgeries such as eyelid or facial surgery.
