So please welcome Dr. Bostanci.

Thank you, Bita.

So, uh, good evening, everyone.

I'm delighted to give you a preview of one of our main symposia at ESCRS London 2026.

Together with my co-chair, uh, David Lockington, we will be leading this two-hour symposium on Monday morning where we will explore one of the most challenging areas in modern cataract surgery, achieving the best possible outcomes in eyes with corneal pathology.

Rather than focusing on si- on, on a single technique or technology, we have designed this session to follow, uh, the entire patient journey from preoperative assessment to postoperative visual quality.

Uh, so you may ask why we did feel this symposium was needed as a main symposium.

If you could give, uh, one practical tip to general cataract surgeons who occasionally operate on eyes with corneal pathology, what would that one tip be?

How can we spread our message in a professional manner?

Okay.

So the impact of your presentation should continue after your presentation is delivered.

That's without any doubt of today.

So what we can do is, um, actually, we have to find a platform, uh, specific communication way because the way you post after your presentation on LinkedIn shouldn't be the same as you, you know, post something on Instagram.

One is for your colleagues and industry, and the other is for, uh, your friends, family, and maybe your patients.

But you have to find a good way to market yourself, market what you have presented, and market your experience.
