International registries

EyeNet Sweden has established a long-term agreement with the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) and has delivered a web-based system for data collection and reports concerning cataract surgery (ECOS).
EyeNet Sweden is also associated partner in a European project with the aim of constructing a quality registry concerning cataract and refractive surgery, EUREQUO. The project is co-financed by the ESCRS and EU.
The ESCRS is Europe’s leading organisation for cataract and refractive surgeons and has 4,000 members from over 90 different countries world-wide.
