The fourth LidSUMMIT: 15 to 17 March 2027.
Three days at the Medical University of Innsbruck, same venue and format as Tirol 2026, now with mixed-reality training on the headset. Waitlist members receive the booking link 48 hours before the public launch and vote on the topics of the programme.
Built around the operating table
University medicine, up close
Train inside the Medical University of Innsbruck, side by side with faculty from ophthalmology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and clinical anatomy.
Two surgeons per station
Small teams, direct faculty feedback, and protected time at your own station to repeat every technique until it sits.
Real tissue behaviour
Specially preserved human specimens with lifelike tissue properties, alongside advanced 3D-printed simulation models, in a practice-oriented setting for ophthalmic surgeons at every stage.

About LidSUMMIT
Train before, during and after the course
The M.A.R.K.O Lid you operate on at LidSUMMIT has a digital twin. Prepare at home in 3D, then see the anatomy laid over the real model in the headset.
Free · in your browserThe eyelid in 3D, six procedures step by step
Explore the lid layer by layer, cut a section through it and follow upper blepharoplasty, ptosis, ectropion, entropion, frontalis sling and brow lift with the decision, landmark and pitfall of every step. Then test yourself in the quiz.
Mixed reality at the station
We are building a VR and AR training app for the PICO headset: the 3D anatomy is calibrated onto the real M.A.R.K.O Lid in front of you, so you see the septum, fat pads and levator exactly where you are about to cut, and walk through each procedure in the headset.
Tested with participants at Tirol 2026. The feedback was so strong that headset training becomes a fixed part of the programme in March 2027.

Everything you need
to know
Eyelid Focus (€2,790) covers Days 2 and 3 only, with a focus on oculoplastic surgery, blepharoplasty, ptosis, malposition repair, and eyelid reconstruction - ideal for surgeons whose primary interest is eyelid surgery rather than corneal techniques.
Through the agreement between the UEMS and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert ECMEC® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Each participant should claim only the credits corresponding to the hours actually spent in the educational activity - Eyelid Focus participants (Days 2-3) should therefore claim 16 credits.
