Dear colleagues and participants,
It is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome to ARI 2026 (Alicante Refractiva Internacional), a forum designed for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and advances in the field of ophthalmology and optometry.
For this edition, we have prepared a high-calibre scientific programme bringing together leading national and international specialists, who will share the latest advances in surgical techniques, technological innovation, the management of complications and emerging trends in the correction of refractive errors.
Our aim is to promote continuous learning, constructive debate and collaboration among professionals, thereby contributing to the development of a clinical practice that is increasingly safe, precise and patient-centred.
Throughout this online event, designed to be timeless, access is available from anywhere in the world, at any time and in an open format. It offers specialised continuing education on ARI topics (Cataract Surgery, Refractive Surgery, Intraocular Lenses, The Cornea and Ocular Surface). You will have the opportunity to participate in keynotes, round-table discussions, practical sessions and clinical case presentations, all within an environment conducive to updating knowledge and professional exchange.
We deeply appreciate your participation and trust. We are confident that this event will be an enriching experience both on a scientific and personal level.
With best regards,

Professor and Chairman of Ophthalmology
Director ARI 2026
