About Us

Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today Europe is uniquely positioned within the European ophthalmic marketplace to serve both physician and industry needs. The European edition shares many elements of the successful formula that has made Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today a leading publication in the United States. CRST Europe is steered by an Editorial Advisory Board that is built around key European surgical opinion leaders, both veterans and noted up-and-comers.

Targeted content for a clearly defined audience.

In 2009, CRST Europe was circulated to 8,131 Western European and 493 Eastern European cataract and refractive surgeons, for a total European circulation of 8,624 surgeons. We cater to those ophthalmologists who are looking for a comprehensive editorial package that suits their specific interests. Our how-to format promotes continuing education, with topics such as the latest surgical approaches and techniques, complications management and avoidance pearls, practice management and business advice, and the latest technological advances.

A forum for the latest surgical developments.

CRST Europe is not only concerned with what’s happening now, but also what’s on the horizon. Surgeons are looking for the latest in product launches and technological developments across the globe. Our readers want to be educated, and CRST Europe has become a key source of information in the purchasing process of new technology. CRST Europe looks beyond clinical approvals to provide timely outcomes data and practical applications for surgical devices and therapeutics.

The informative connection between industry and surgeons.

CRST Europe is a targeted, cost-effective vehicle through which industry can aim marketing and advertising messages to cataract and refractive surgeons. In a sea of broadly focused ophthalmology publications, CRST Europe is appropriately tailored to a target audience of anterior segment surgeons.
