I was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Madrid-CSIC “Instituto de Optica”, a post-doctoral research fellow, first at Cambridge University (UK) and later at the Institut d’Optique in Orsay, France. After returning to Spain, I obtained a permanent researcher position at the Instituto de Optica. In 1994, I became the first full Professor of Optics at the University of Murcia, Spain founding the “Laboratorio de Optica”. I spent sabbatical years in Rochester (USA) and Sydney (Australia). I am currently a distinguished visiting professor at the Aier School of Ophthalmology at the Central South University in Changsha, China. My research interests are centered on the optics of eye and the retina and the development of optical and electronic imaging techniques to be applied in Vision, Ophthalmology and Biomedicine. I pioneered highly innovative and significant advances in the methods for studying the optics of the eye and contributed substantially to our understanding of the factors that limit human visual resolution. In addition, several of my results and ideas in the area of ophthalmic instrumentation over the last years have been introduced in instruments and devices currently in use in clinical Ophthalmology. I has published more than 400 reviewed papers that received more than 24000 citations (h-index of 82) in Google Scholar. I presented more than 250 invited talks in international meetings and around 150 seminars in research institutions around the world. I was elected fellow member of the Optical Society of America (OSA) in 1999, fellow of the Association for research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) in 2009 and 2013 (gold class), fellow of the European Optical Society (EOS) in 2014 and fellow of the SPIE in 2016. In 2013, I received the “Edwin H. Land Medal” for scientific contributions to the advancement of diagnostic and correction alternatives in visual optics. This award was established by the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) to honor Edwin H. Land. In 2014, I was awarded with an Advanced Research grant of the European Research Council. In 2015, I received the “King Jaime I” award in New Technologies. In 2018, he was awarded the Spanish National Research award “Juan de la Cierva” and in 2019 the “Edgar D. Tillyer” award of the Optical Society of America for “the pioneering use of optics and photonics technologies to unravel the human visual system and to improve eye diagnostics and correction”. In 2021, I was awarded the medal of the Spanish Royal Physics Society. I am a co-inventor of 30 international patents in the fields of Optics and Ophthalmology and the co-founder of four spin-off companies developing my concepts and ideas.</p> </div>  </div> </div> </li> <li id="speaker-648" data-speaker="648" class="item-speaker"> <div class="speaker-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="750" height="1000" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/mentor25-Kfir-Azoulay.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /> </div> <div class="speaker-head"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Kfir Azoulay</h2> <span class="position">Germany</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl" id="rg-sp-648"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-background"></div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-content"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="750" height="1000" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/mentor25-Kfir-Azoulay.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head-text"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Kfir Azoulay</h2> <span class="position">Germany</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-close"> <button>×</button> </div> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-body"> <p>Kfir Azoulay is Head of Strategy at Heidelberg Engineering, a technology leader in the field of ophthalmic diagnostic imaging systems and Managing Director of Munich Surgical Imaging GmbH (a Heidelberg Engineering company).</p> <p>In his current role he oversees business development, the company’s global strategic initiatives, and its Surgical business unit.

We recently made two acquisitions and continue to drive double-digit growth of this highly profitable global surgical-eyecare company.</p> <p>As CEO and President of Haag-Streit USA, Inc. and Reliance Medical Products, Inc., I managed all US operations of the Haag-Streit Group and increased organic sales revenue by over 80% from 2003 to 2011. In the same time frame, I delivered unprecedented financial results by growing profitability year-over-year.</p> <p>During my tenure at Riester, I grew the company’s net profit at high-single digits YoY at a Return on Sales of approx. 28%.</p> <p>I negotiated multi-million-dollar purchase and sale transactions for the acquisition and disposition of stock and assets on multiple occasions and served as a strategic advisor to several private equity firms in the EU and US. Largest negotiated ticket was close to $400mio.</p> <p><u>Turn-around/Restructure/Re-alignment:</u></p> <p>As CEO of Riester, I developed and implemented a comprehensive strategic vision and digital transformation plan to accelerate bottom-line growth (organic and through acquisition) and to replenish our innovation pipeline after years of trimming, which created a substantial investment backlog throughout the business.</p> <p>As CEO of IRIDEX and CEO of Alcon Germany and Austria, I rapidly developed and executed turn-around plans, resulting in substantiated growth trajectories after multiple years of inertia or decline. This, I achieved by creating effective work forces, faster decision-making structures and instilling a strong focus on top- and bottom-line growth within the organization.</p> <p><u>Commercial Experience:</u></p> <p>Most recently prior to joining D.O.R.C., at Riester we were makers and marketers of diagnostic medical devices (over 2000 SKUs) selling to primary, secondary and post-acute care facilities in more than 140 countries through a vast network of distributors, 12 regional sales organizations including commercial operations (subsidiaries) in the U.S., China, and Brazil, totaling sales of approx. $40m with a workforce of 170 FTEs.</p> <p>At Alcon/Novartis, the market leader in ophthalmic products, I managed a total of $400m in sales with a market-facing team of ~400 associates. At IRIDEX, I managed a total of $45m in global sales and a work force of 160 FTEs. At Haag-Streit Holding US, I managed a team of 120 with international sales of approx. $70m.</p> <p><u>Visionary Leadership:</u></p> <p>At Haag-Streit USA, I executed a first business turn-around in 2003 and later in 2005 at Reliance Medical Products, I executed a second turn-around, devising a new vision and strategic plans that enabled these previously marginally profitable businesses to unprecedented profitability in a short time period. The transformation of company culture improved employee productivity and energized those businesses to acquire new customers and push product technology to new heights of performance at both companies.</p> <p><u>Innovation:</u></p> <p>As CEO of Ophthalmic Development Company AG (ODC), I managed the start-up of an independent ophthalmic device firm in Zurich, Switzerland. My team developed, manufactured and commercialized the world’s first high-precision non-applanating contour-tonometer, a break-through in Glaucoma diagnosis, especially for patients that underwent prior LASIK or corneal refractive surgery. The company was sold to a leading Swiss refractive eye care company in 2002. Prior to ODC, from 1995 to 1997, I was heading the medical division of an optical device company in Switzerland that created the first commercially available high-definition stereo-endoscopic system for use in eye care.</p> <p>In 2009, my team helped introduce the first AI-ML algorithms (radial bias functions) for ocular biometry in close collaboration with one of the leading cataract surgeons in the US, Warren Hill and MathWorks. As CEO of Haag-Streit US, I initiated, funded and co-managed the project.</p> <p>Other examples: In 2007, my team developed the first 3D-imaging system (together with TrueVision) for ocular-free AR-imaging on Haag-Streit slit-lamps. In 2014, my team introduced the first optical-scanning device for corneal biomechanics mapping (BOSS), and finally in 2021, my team introduced the first AI-ML based heart and lung sound diagnostic system</p> </div>  </div> </div> </li> <li id="speaker-656" data-speaker="656" class="item-speaker"> <div class="speaker-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="472" height="709" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/mentor23-Jan-Bonel.jpeg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /> </div> <div class="speaker-head"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Jan Bonel</h2> <span class="position">Spain</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl" id="rg-sp-656"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-background"></div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-content"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="472" height="709" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/mentor23-Jan-Bonel.jpeg" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head-text"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Jan Bonel</h2> <span class="position">Spain</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-close"> <button>×</button> </div> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-body"> <p><strong>2021</strong> Jan is now dedicated to controlling his investments in several different start-up companies around the globe, including holding several Board Positions. Some of which are new, and some have been long lasting over time like RxSight.</p> <p><strong>2019-2020 </strong>Consultant and founder of Corneagen Europe, S.L., the European arm of Corneagen Inc. Consultant and investor of TwoEyesVision, S.L. and Wooptix, S.L., Co-Founder of Bynocs Inc. Consultant and Board Visitor at RxSight.</p> <p><strong>2002</strong> – <strong>2018 </strong>Founder and CEO of Visiometrics, S.L. High-tech company in the optical and ophthalmic field. Visiometrics is a leading company in the diagnostic market of quality of vision. Together with his team, he accomplished several crucial milestone objectives, such as: obtain FDA approval and CE-Mark approval for a new product called OQAS and establish distribution and sales all over the globe. Visiometrics is a start-up and a spin-off from the Polytechnic University of Barcelona.</p> <p>He implemented a very compelling business model. Visiometrics is now a full organization with presence in over 30 countries, located in both USA and Spain. Visiometrics has signed several contracts with important multinational companies. Agreements and partnerships in important markets like China, Korea, Japan and Europe have also been successfully clinched. He sold Visiometrics to Halma, Plc in late 2015.</p> <p>It was very interesting for him to build this business having to deal with all possible ingredients in a complex business scenario. From fundraising to local political administration, jumping from possible business exits to establishing a revolutionary technology. Ensuring a safe growth model while making sure that 30 scientists at the University also appreciated that their effort has true and direct economical impact. The Business Plan written by him, made emphasis of the need of close collaboration with at least 50 worldwide opinion leaders to be the first to embrace the concept. Today Visiometrics has many international well-known spokesmen for the HD Analyzer.</p> <p><strong>1997-01 </strong>CEO Oftalogic, S.A. a distributor company working as exclusive distributor with several important international brands in the Ophthalmic field, such as, LaserSight, Lenstec, Ophtec, Laser Diagnostics, Refractec, ThinOptx, Feather, Kera-Vision etc. Oftalogic, S.L. became a leader in the Spanish Refractive market with over 20 employees and a 6mil. € / yearly turnover.</p> <p><strong>1991-1997</strong> CEO Europhtal, S.L. a distributor company acting in Spain and in some other European markets as distributor for Chiron Vision, Technolas, (now B&L). The most remarkable contribution is probably the fact that Europthal was the first company in the world to perform LASIK with Hansatome and Technolas. Jan and Dr. Güell, were the first in the world to promote LASIK, offering LASIK curses to most of the first adapters and more than 200 users all over the world. He also served on the European board of Chiron Vision. Europhtal had an approx. yearly turnover of 1000 Mill. Pesetas.</p> <p>In the early nineties, he accomplished to bring Lasik Surgery to the market, together with a very small select group of people. He also pioneered in the cataract market with Healon and Intraocular Lenses. He is a founding member of ACEOS, American Society for American and European Ophthalmologists.</p> <p><strong>1986-1991</strong> He started as Sales Representative to become Marketing Manager at Pharmacia, AB. (later Phizer, AMO and now Abbot). These were the early days of IOL´s and the Viscoelastic, Healon. This is truly where Jan got involved with ophthalmology both professionally and emotionally. Keeping in mind his previous experience as a teacher and his newly acquired business skills, at Pharmacia he received an extraordinary technical background. The experience was so good it could be further cultivated over the years, making him probably one of the most technically and clinically skilled top executives in the world today. He also established close relationships with those days upcoming star ophthalmologist, who are now the most prominent opinion leaders in the world. Professional commitments included branding of Healon, the world leading Viscoelastic product and Intraocular lenses to be implanted after Cataract surgery. Together with his team they made several historical % growth/year figures. It is fair to say that in those days the market was exploding from virtually no implantations towards the today standard of 100% implantation. He is proud of having been able to play an important role in this evolution.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Education</strong></p> <p><strong>2007-08</strong></p> <p>IESE Business School’s “Advanced Management Program”.

It was the inaugural International Satellite Live Surgery, featuring guest surgeons from around the world (Charles Kelman ,Eric Arnott, , Patrice De Laage, Christophe Huber , Lucio Buratto, with the participation of Jim Cook President of Cooper Vision ) and connections to various foreign countries.</div> <div>Buratto’s initiative was a catalyst for progress, enabling international surgeons to learn and enhance their skills in real-time.</div> <div>TEACHING EDUCATION</div> <div>1992, Buratto took a bold step forward by founding an Institute for the practical teaching of ophthalmic surgery</div> <div>He founded an Institute for the practical teaching of ophthalmic surgery , equipped with ten surgical stations each comprising microscopes, phacoemulsifiers, surgical heads with eye holders enabling to see the red reflex in enucleated pig eyes (Buratto design), and cameras for transmitting surgery on screens.</div> <div>Conducted weekend courses, training over 1,100 Italian ophthalmologists along 3 years in basic surgery and providing a significant innovative impact on Italian surgery; the institute allowed also students to practice, to observe procedures in real-time and learn from experienced surgeons.</div> <div>BIMANUAL I/A FOR CORTEX REMOVAL</div> <div>1992 Dr. Buratto pioneered an innovative technique in cataract surgery known as bimanual irrigation/aspiration (I/A), revolutionizing cortical removal during phacoemulsification. Traditionally, surgeons used a single instrument with two ports—one for irrigation and one for aspiration. However, Buratto’s method involved the development of two separate cannulas, each serving a specific function, enhancing precision and efficiency in cortical removal.</div> <div>Buratto’s bimanual irrigation/aspiration technique represents a significant advancement in phacoemulsification, offering improved safety, precision, and efficiency in cortical removal. Its</div> <div>adoption, presented live at the Videocataract meeting in 1992 has become widespread globally, marking a paradigm shift from the traditional single-instrument approach.</div> <div>THE BIRTH OF LASIK</div> <div>1989 Dr. Lucio Buratto, first worldwide, performed the pioneering keratomileusis operation with intrastromal ablation using Excimer laser for high myopia treatment on a seeing patient.</div> <div>Dr. Buratto’s innovative approach, utilizing the Excimer laser for intrastromal ablation (on posterior surface of the flap first and later on the stroma in situ) , laid the foundation for what would later become known as LASIK. By demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of this approach, Dr. Buratto not only pioneered a new surgical technique but also paved the way for countless patients to achieve improved vision and quality of life.</div> <div>His subsequent presentations and publications, along with the prize at the ASCRS Film Festival New Techniques in San Diego 1992, cement his legacy as a pioneer in the field of ophthalmology, shaping the standards for myopia correction and inspiring future advancements.</div> <div>In summary, Dr. Buratto’s innovative use of the Excimer laser in keratomileusis surgery represents a watershed moment in the history of ophthalmic surgery.</div> <div>DOWN UP LASIK</div> <div>1996 The introduction of LASIK Down Up by Dr. Buratto heralded a new era of refractive surgery.</div> <div>The innovative features of the Superior Hinge technique in LASIK Down Up bring a host of advantages over traditional LASIK procedures with nasal hinge , revolutionizing the technique of refractive surgery.</div> <div>Down Up represents a significant leap forward by minimizing post-operative discomfort and hastening recovery, enhancing both patient outcomes and surgeon comfort.</div> <div>Today, LASIK Down Up stands as the global standard in LASIK procedures, representing a significant advancement in refractive surgery.</div> <div>Dr. Buratto’s pioneering technique exemplifies the relentless pursuit of excellence in ophthalmic innovation, ultimately benefiting patients worldwide.</div> <div>SATELLITE BROADCASTS OF SURGERY</div> <div>In 1984 Buratto organized the first international ophthalmology conference with live transmission via satellite from Milan to Paris, Frankfurt, Athens, St.Petersburg, Instambul and London; surgeons Charles Kelman , Eric Arnott, Patrice De Laage, Christophe Huber, Lucio Buratto; moderator Jim Cook President of CooperVision</div> <div>In the following years he broadcasted surgery via satellite from Milan :</div> <div>To 6 countries (Germany, Greece, France, Russia, Turkey, England) in 1998 and in</div> <div>9 countries (France, Germany, England, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Venezuela, Panama, Mexico) in 1999</div> <div>To 16 countries in 1999 (Egypt, Germany, England, Iran, Poland, South Africa, Spain, China, France, Malaysia, Greece, Portugal, Romania,Russia, Turkey, Hungary) .</div> <div>To 21 countries on 4 Continents in 2000 (Scandinavia, Singapore, South Africa, Belgium, France, UK, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, USA, Canada, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Germany).</div> <div>To 9 countries in 2001 (Sweden, Great Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) a</div> <div>And many many other satellite and internet international live surgeries events in the following years .</div> <div>BOOKS</div> <div>Dr. Buratto published 91 books in different languages on the matter of Cataract, Refractive surgery, Glaucoma and other areas of ophthalmology.</div> <div>And he was a coauthor, or he had a chapter in other 23 books.</div> <div class="x_1327816106elementToProof">With his books, Dr. Buratto has contributed to teaching and updating cataract and refractive surgery internationally.</div> </div>  </div> </div> </li> <li id="speaker-660" data-speaker="660" class="item-speaker"> <div class="speaker-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Mentor21-Francesco-Carones.webp" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /> </div> <div class="speaker-head"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Francesco Carones</h2> <span class="position">Italy</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl" id="rg-sp-660"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-background"></div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-content"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head"> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-img"> <img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="https://inovation.escrs.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Mentor21-Francesco-Carones.webp" class="attachment-full size-full wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-head-text"> <h2 class="entry-title ">Francesco Carones</h2> <span class="position">Italy</span> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-close"> <button>×</button> </div> </div> <div class="rg-speaker-mdl-body"> <p>Francesco Carones, MD was born in Italy in 1963.
