Here's What You’ll Learn
The program is split into distinct training focuses. Attendees can choose what suits their current goals or attend the full event for the most complete experience.
Oculoplastic Surgery
Eyelid Malposition Correction
Canthoplasty & Canthopexy
Drainage Simulation & Wound Closure
During oculoplasty sessions, trainees can gain confidence in managing entropion and ectropion, which are common yet often undertaught. Another focus is to learn the anatomical nuances and indications for lateral canthus tightening procedures. On top of it, you can refine suturing and tissue handling skills through structured simulations.
Reconstructive Surgery
Tenzel Flap
Hughes Procedure
Get a grip on the tenzel flap, an essential technique for managing eyelid defects. Then, perfect your approach to lower lid reconstruction post-tumor excision.
Aesthetic Surgery
Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty
Ptosis Correction
Master techniques for both function and beauty during the aesthetic surgery training sessions. Learn how to assess and repair ptosis with precision.
Keratoplasty
If corneal surgery is more in line with your professional development, don’t miss this keratoplasty-focused day on the 24th of September 2025.
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)
Lamellar Keratoplasty

Who Should Attend?
The 2nd LidSUMMIT event is tailored to residents, fellows, and early-career ophthalmologists. In particular, those who want to build their surgical skillset in a supportive environment. You don’t need to be an oculoplastics or cornea subspecialist to benefit. If you plan to be on call or cover general ophthalmology, these are techniques you’ll use.
