This year we will have the 20th International Scientific Practical Conference «Morden Technologies in Cataract, Refractive and Corneal Surgery» to be organized 20^th times in the row.

For many years we were meeting in autumn period at the conference facilities of the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Institution. Over these years this event became extremely popular and transformed into the biggest event in this part of the World uniting the practitioners and scientists interested in the subject of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.

The fundamental and not very easy decision this year was to move that congress to the special venue - Congress Park that will set the new standards and enhance the quality of the meeting in both scientific and organizational levels.

We are proud to follow the steps of one of the Founders of the modern ophthalmic surgery – Prof. Fyodorov who was internationally recognized authority in both of cataract and refractive subspecialities. This year we will celebrate 90^th year since Prof Fyodorov's birth. And this landmark will be highlighted my two commemorative lectures presented to us distinguished experts in this field – Prof. Sergey Avetisov from Moscow and Prof. Rudy Nuijts from the Netherlands.
One of the core values of the upcoming the 20th International Scientific Practical Conference «Morden Technologies in Cataract, Refractive and Corneal Surgery» is the diversity of topics and extensive coverage of the fields of cataract and refractive surgery. More over 3rd of October we will have a special Day of corneal devoted to the various aspects of cataract surgery in glaucoma eyes and also the Ziemer Academy. The latter will be focused on various aspects of femtosecond laser technology in the anterior segment surgery. Both of these events will happen simultaneously at the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Institution.

During the two next days (04 and 05^th of October of the International Congress, the attendees will be able to take part not only in breakout sessions, round tables and discussions, but also to attend the lectures of the leading experts – members of the European and American Societies of Cataract and Refractive surgeons.

This concentration of the activities is unprecedented. And I am sure that this event will give the participants a new point of vision, and a comprehensive flow of information as well as the total immersion in the various aspects of cataract and refractive surgery.

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 20th International Scientific Practical Conference «Morden Technologies in Cataract, Refractive and Corneal Surgery». I am absolutely confident that this event organized jointly by the Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Institution and the Russian Ophthalmology Society will be very useful and memorable for all the participants.

See you at the Congress!
