Dear Friends,
Warm greetings from the Cornea Society of India!
It is indeed our pleasure to inform that Keracon 2014 will be held on the 19th to 21st of December, 2014
at the Radisson Blu Temple bay Resort, Mahabalipuram, India.
The scientific program charted out for this year includes a wet lab for DALK and DSEK on the 19th along
with master courses. The next 2 days would include case / situation based interactive sessions with focus
on panel discussion and audience participation rather than didactic lectures.
The hospitality, culture and warmth of the populace of this Temple town is legendary.
We look forward for your active participation to make this conference a grand success.
With Warm Regards,
Srinivas K Rao / Geetha Iyer
