37th International Congress of German Ophthalmic Surgery (DOC)
15^th - 17^th May 2025

Looking back at DOC 2025
DOC 2025 was a great success. With over 7,000 participants, we once again achieved record attendance. 482 speakers presented 195 lectures, 90 courses, 46 seminars, 29 wetlabs and drylabs. In addition, there were 10 symposia on selected current topics as well as an outstanding video live surgery (from the Herzog Carl Theodor Eye Clinic, Munich). The program for management and administrative staff was extremely varied and in great demand. The OAP program with its 36 main lectures, 46 seminars and 2 wetlabs is becoming increasingly popular and was very well attended. A thoroughly organized and extensive industry exhibition with everything that is important in the fields of ophthalmic surgery and ophthalmology today was again an important part of this gathering.

I hope that you were able to return home with many valuable impressions and insights and would like to take this opportunity to thank the many employees who worked hard on the organization and implementation of DOC 2025. This applies to my DOC team as well as to the DOC organizing committee and program commission. Special thanks go out to MCN for the excellent organization of this event.

I am looking forward to DOC 2026 in Nuremberg from June 18th to 20th, 2026.
Until then - all the best, and stay healthy!

Warm regards,
Armin Scharrer
