The Collaborative Lens

Pearls, Pitfalls and Possibilities

KPro is rarely just a procedure. Its success depends on thoughtful patient selection, meticulous surgical planning and an understanding of the challenges that can arise before, during and long after implantation.

The KPro Symposium at OSKON 2027, in association with the KPro Study Group, brings together leading KProsurgeons, clinicians and scientists to share experience about the decisions behind different KPro approaches and the lessons from difficult outcomes, the hardest cases, critical red flags and challenges that continue to test even experienced surgeons, and finally to the possibilities that emerging research and innovation may bring.

One landmark day. Global experience, hard questions, and a look at what’s next for KPro.

Call for Cases: We invite surgeons to submit their most instructive KPro cases — the red flags, the tough calls, the lessons learned — for discussion at the symposium.

Call for submissions opening soon.

On the table: dry eye, ocular surface reconstruction, keratoprosthesis, ocular allergy, cicatrising conjunctivitis — and every grey zone in between.

This isn’t a lecture hall. It’s a conversation.

Come for the cases.
Stay for the argument.
Leave with a plan.

One Surface Many Disciplines

The Collaborative Lens

The ocular surface functions as an integrated unit — a dynamic, interdependent system.

Different eyes see different things — the surface, the cause, the reaction, the system, the science. It’s still one disease!

What does an allergist spot that a slit lamp never will? Can an inflammatory marker tell you more than a clinical grade? Where does a “simple” dry eye stop being simple — and start being systemic? Does the lab ask better questions than the clinic? Does the clinic ask better questions than the lab?

Nobody has the whole picture alone.

That’s the Collaborative Lens — perspectives that don’t just sit side by side; but collide, challenge and sharpen each other until the picture actually makes sense.

One disease. Every mind that sees it is in the same room.
