International SPECTRALIS Symposium – AND BEYOND


Celebrating 21 Years of Innovation in Ophthalmic Imaging at the New Heidelberg Congress Center
13–14 June 2025


Heidelberg, Germany (27 February 2025) – The International SPECTRALIS Symposium (ISS) marks its 21st anniversary with an exciting new chapter in Heidelberg, Germany, just steps away from the headquarters of Heidelberg Engineering. Recognized as one of the most prestigious scientific imaging conferences, ISS 2025 will bring together global leaders in ophthalmology to explore the latest breakthroughs and future directions in retinal imaging.

Under the chairmanship of Professor Dr. Frank Holz (Department of Ophthalmology, University of Bonn, Germany), this two-day event will welcome international delegates and feature 35 renowned speakers from 12 countries. Attendees will gain valuable insights into high-resolution OCT, artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, and distributed care models, shaping the future of diagnostics and patient management.

Among the innovations on display, Heidelberg Engineering will showcase the new SeeLuma digital microscope with intraoperative OCT, offering enhanced visualization and greater insights in the operating theatre.

“This is considered one of the most scientific and influential imaging conferences. What began 21 years ago as a dedicated retinal imaging event has evolved into a comprehensive platform for innovation in ophthalmology. The opportunity to engage with such a distinguished group of experts and discuss emerging therapies in this setting is truly unparalleled,” said Professor Holz.
