The Smartphone-Based Keratographer (SBK) is a SMART method of performing early keratoconus detection: an app, headrest and a Placido disk attachment can lower cost and bring keratoconus screening to millions of people in developing countries who currently are not screened, thanks to cost and access reasons.
The 18th CXL Experts’ Meeting, led by ELZA’s CMO, Prof. Farhad Hafezi, was held last weekend in Zurich, Switzerland.
The ELZA team of surgeons and researchers were all in attendance, and today saw Prof. Hafezi give the attending delegates a lecture on “How to treat thin corneas”, where he examined the history of performing corneal cross-linking (CXL) for the treatment of corneal ectasias like keratoconus. He then brought delegates up-to-date on the research that has been performed over the years to improve how thin corneas are cross-linked. Finally, Prof. Hafezi demonstrated the results of the latest thin cornea cross-linking protocol, sub400, developed by ELAZA, which simplifies the process, and can let surgeons, for the first time, cross-link corneas that are as thin as 200 µm.
Dr. Sebastian Siebelman from the media outlet, “Digital Ophthalmology” interviews ELZA AG’s Chief Executive Officer, Nikki Hafezi, as part of their “Visionaries” series. Several topics
Why would you want to perform corneal cross-linking at the slit lamp? Well, it is a powerful and versatile therapy, that can not only halt
We at the ELZA Institute are proud to report that our landmark paper that describes how the sub400 protocol is used to perform CXL in
The annual meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) was held in Paris between 14–18 September 2019, and ELZA’s surgeons and researchers presented a record 21 presentations during the congress – so what did ELZA at ESCRS manage to achieve? Our team presented at 8 free paper presentations and a further 8 instructional courses, as well as three moderated poster sessions, two e-posters (as well as instructing in 1 wet lab too).

I was honoured to be invited to give a series of talks during this year’s MEACO congress, held in the Hilton Dead Sea & Spa Hotel in Amman, Jordan, where I reviewed the latest thinking in cross-linking and presented the latest clinical and laboratory research work from our research group and our collaborators.
