Vision China 2026 is currently taking place in Tianjin, China (May 2026), serving as one of the largest ophthalmology congresses in the country with over 10,000 participants. A major highlight of the conference is its specialized focus on keratoconus treatments and cutting-edge advanced eye technologies. [1, 2, 3]
Key Keratoconus & Vision Highlights from the Congress
- Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) Integration: The congress features a dedicated spin-off program from the Zurich CXL Experts Meeting, marking its 8th appearance at this event to showcase the latest global consensus on stabilizing keratoconus. [1, 2]
- Advanced Medical Solutions: Renowned institutions like the ELZA Institute and EMAGine AG are prominently featured, presenting cutting-edge corneal cross-linking techniques and technologies (such as ELZA-PACE) designed to improve vision and arrest the progression of corneal ectasia. [1, 2]
- Tianjin Clinical Research Hub: Locally, the Tianjin Eye Hospital is actively recruiting and presenting findings on novel optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based indexes to diagnose subclinical keratoconus early, matching the global research focus displayed at the event. [1]

There are two major events sharing similar names in China this year:
- Ophthalmology Congress: The medical conference in Tianjin focused on vision correction, keratoconus, and corneal health.
- Machine Vision Exhibition: A separate industrial automation and AI robotics expo called Vision China 2026 that took place in Shanghai earlier this year (March 25–27, 2026). [1, 2, 3]
