On September 13, 2026, Dr. Bellone joined leading international corneal specialists in London for the Keraring Global Users Group Meeting, hosted by Mediphacos at the iconic Shangri-La The Shard Hotel.
The exclusive gathering brought together top refractive and corneal surgeons from around the world to tackle the most pressing clinical controversies in modern keratoconus management.
An Interactive, High-Level Scientific Exchange
Departing from traditional lecture formats, this year’s meeting introduced a dynamic, panel-led debate structure. Each topic focused on contentious areas in keratoconus treatment, dedicating focused time to expert insights followed by lively, interactive discussions with the audience.
Key highlights from the sessions included:
- Customized Intracorneal Ring Segments (ICRS): Evaluating advanced Keraring implantation profiles to optimize visual outcomes in complex corneal ectasias.
- Combined Treatment Protocols: Debating optimal timing and sequencing when pairing intrastromal ring segments with corneal cross-linking (CXL).
- Real-World Case Debates: Analyzing complex surgical scenarios through peer-to-peer discussions to evaluate boundary cases and innovative solutions.
Bringing Global Innovation to Patient Care
Exchanging insights with international thought leaders allows Dr. Bellone to continuously refine surgical protocols and evaluate emerging clinical evidence. This commitment to ongoing global collaboration ensures that patients receive the most advanced, individualized keratoconus care available.
