AECOS Europe Symposium: 2026

Digital Innovation in Ophthalmology

Show Description +

Radhika Rampat, MBBS, BSc(Hons), FRCOphth, and Andrea Russo, MD, PhD, share takeaways from a session on digital innovation at the 2026 AECOS Europe Symposium in Madrid. They examine why digitalization may be the silent revolution after the femtosecond laser, how distinct layers of AI are entering clinical practice—from machine-learning copilots to large language models—and why governance, explainability, and transparent tools are essential to supporting, rather than replacing, surgeon decision-making.
