Dear Friends and
Colleagues,
On behalf of the
Scientific Program Committee (SPC) of the
41st Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO)
Congress, I am delighted to welcome you to the
intellectually stimulating journey offered by one of the
most significant ophthalmic meetings in the world.
During the four-day
program from February 5 to 8, 2026, you will delve into
the latest discoveries and innovations in eye health by
taking part in your chosen scientific sessions at the
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Whether you
are focused on basic research or seeking to enhance your
clinical skills, and regardless of your subspecialty or
years of experience, I am sure you will take home a
thicket of inspirations from the wide range of lectures,
symposiums, workshops, and wet lab courses we offer.
On a personal note,
this is my third consecutive year working as the SPC
Chair for the annual APAO Congress. While I feel both
privileged and humbled to serve again, I must express
how impressed I have been by the quality of
presentations delivered by our distinguished invited
faculty as well as authors of submitted abstracts. Year
after year, our colleagues work relentlessly to bridge
knowledge gaps in ophthalmic science, improve existing
treatments and develop new ones, and harness
technological advancements to better address patients’
needs. I eagerly anticipate learning from yet another
batch of robust research from you at the 2026 congress.
We sincerely hope you
take full advantage of this
invaluable opportunity and
make lasting contributions to eye care. Thank you for
joining us at this extraordinary event, and let’s enjoy
this fulfilling experience in Hong Kong together!
Best regards,
Dennis LAM
Chair
