Dear colleagues and friends,
I am excited to share with you that I am standing as a candidate for the Board of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). It would be a great honour to contribute to the future of our Society, continuing to promote innovation, education, and excellence in clinical practice.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing cataract and refractive surgery through research, clinical practice, and the mentorship of young ophthalmologists. My academic work is far-reaching, with over 300 peer-reviewed publications, over 14,000 citations, and an h-index exceeding 60. This is a testament to my mission, to link research with real-life clinical applications to serve my patients.
Should I be entrusted with this role, I will work to support the next generation of surgeons, foster a culture of innovation, and bridge research and clinical care - values I believe are essential for our continued progress.
I would be deeply grateful for your support in this election, and I warmly invite you to share this message with colleagues who may also wish to support my candidacy.
I look forward to the opportunity to serve our Society together.
Thank you for your support.
