Welcome Keracon 2025
Dear Friends,
It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you all to the 13th Annual Conference of the Cornea Society of India – KERACON 2025, to be held from 19th to 21st December at the picturesque Taj Cidade de Goa.
We are delighted to return to Goa, where our journey first began — #BacktoGoa! This year’s conference stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and innovation in the field of cornea.
Following the overwhelming success of our “Silent Meeting” format at the previous Keracon, we are excited to bring it back this year—enhanced and expanded. Multiple synchronized screens within the same hall will allow delegates to choose sessions of interest, promoting a dynamic and immersive learning experience.
We are honored to host an outstanding faculty, featuring distinguished experts from India and across the globe. Their shared knowledge will illuminate the latest breakthroughs in corneal treatment and surgical techniques, setting the stage for inspiring conversations and collaborative growth.
This year, our scientific program places a strong emphasis on instructional courses, didactic lectures, panel discussions, and challenging case presentations—designed to foster practical learning and thought-provoking discussions.
Beyond the conference halls, Goa awaits you with its vibrant charm. With golden beaches, colonial architecture, serene backwaters, Goa in December is nothing short of magical. Whether you seek relaxation, cultural exploration, or culinary delights, Goa offers a perfect blend of leisure and inspiration—making your KERACON 2025 experience truly unforgettable.
We look forward to welcoming you to a conference filled with learning, connection, and the heartfelt warmth of the Cornea Society of India.
Warm regards,
Dr. Pravin Krishna V– President
Dr. Jnanankar Medhi – Vice President
Dr. Vikas Mittal – Secretary
Dr. Namrata Sharma – Past President
