AUSCRS at the Top End was a great opportunity to disconnect from the daily grind and get away from the distractions of daily life. And, as always, it was an opportunity to reconnect with friends, colleagues and international experts on the key challenges and new innovations in cataract and refractive surgery. At the same time we lost ourselves in the splendour and grandeur of the Outback.

AUSCRS 2025 was a huge success and feedback has been amazing:

“ AUSCRS combines a mixture of science, discussion, and heated debate in a party atmosphere. It is a truly unique meeting, unable to be reproduced anywhere in the world because it's the chemistry of the organisation and the participants that make it so great to attend”.

“ AUSCRS is an example of what an ophthalmic conference should be. It is a celebration of anterior segment surgery and friendship. Cutting-edge ideas are presented with rigor and humility. Australian and New Zealand surgeons come together with colleagues from throughout the world, but the local surgeons steal the show with their creativity, hospitality, and warmth. It is an honor to be affiliated with this group of energetic and fun ophthalmologists.”

“It was an honor, privilege and pleasure to participate in this year's AUSCRS meeting. It is easy to focus on the creativity and the fun aspects of the meeting which are truly a highlight and set this meeting apart from all others in ophthalmology, but to do so misses the most important benefits of attending. The scientific, academic and educational content were outstanding, with excellent presentations, robust debates, and new technologies and techniques shared by an experienced, global faculty. I now have an even larger network of international colleagues to collaborate with and share our anticipation for future AUSCRS meetings.“
