Welcome Message from APVRS President |
|
|
|
|
|
Dear Friends and
Colleagues,
It is my pleasure and
honor to welcome you to
the 13th
APVRS Congress, which
will be held in Shanghai
this year.
As one of the key
ophthalmology
conferences in the
Asia-Pacific region, the
APVRS Congress has
served as an excellent
platform to address the
emergence of certain
retinal conditions, such
as myopia and diabetes,
and provide programs to
develop skilled
ophthalmologists. It
attracts leading
vitreoretinal
specialists from around
the world to share their
knowledge and
experience.
With so many renowned
speakers, the Congress
will be a perfect
environment to teach, to
gain insight into the
latest discoveries and
innovations in the
vitreoretinal field, and
most importantly, to
identify the ways to
support our developing
countries in the
region.
On behalf of APVRS, I
welcome you to our
Congress and look
forward to bringing you
a rewarding experience.
Seeing you in Shanghai!
With best regards,
Prof. Dennis S C Lam
President, Asia-Pacific
Vitreo-retina Society |

Meeting Highlights |
| |
|
|

Scientific programs are always the key to the success of APVRS Congresses.
The programs this year are the strongest ever yet. Not only are they packed with cutting edge technologies, such as advances in gene therapy, artificial intelligence, and advanced retinal and choroidal imaging, they also contain updates on issues of interest in the Asia-Pacific region, such as polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and pathologic myopia. All these will be delivered by the most world-renowned retinal specialist speakers.
In addition, this is the first time that the programs contain many sessions on great challenging cases in various areas, both diagnostic and therapeutic, in macular and non-macular surgery, also inflammatory and non-inflammatory medical retinal diseases. Join the Congress to learn more! |
