Invitation message to the 2026 Veterinary Ophthalmology Meeting in Vienna

We are pleased to invite you to Vienna, Austria, for the 2026 Congress of the European Society of Veterinary Ophthalmology (ESVO), which will take place from September 24–27. In a time of rapid scientific and technological progress, this congress offers an important opportunity to come together, exchange knowledge, and reflect on how our field continues to evolve.

Veterinary ophthalmology is advancing at an unprecedented pace. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, therapeutics, and surgical techniques—together with the increasing integration of artificial intelligence and digital technologies—are transforming the way we understand, diagnose, and manage ocular disease. These developments make continuous education, critical discussion, and the regular updating of knowledge more essential than ever.

The main topic of the ESVO Congress 2026 is Acute Blindness, a clinical challenge that demands rapid decision-making, precise diagnostics, and interdisciplinary insight. Through this focus, the congress aims to explore current concepts, emerging technologies, and evidence-based approaches to acute vision loss in veterinary patients, highlighting both established practices and future directions in the field.

The scientific program has been carefully designed to encourage meaningful exchange through lectures, research presentations, and interactive sessions, supporting professionals at all stages of their careers. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors and industry partners, whose support is essential to the realization of this congress and to the continued advancement of education, research, and innovation in veterinary ophthalmology.

We warmly invite you to join the ESVO Meeting in 2026—a congress that will foster scientific excellence, meaningful exchange, and lasting collaboration, while offering an engaging and forward-looking experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Vienna.
