Happy 2026 to all
delegates! We are excited to welcome you to the new year
with another highlight of the APAO Congress — the Arthur
Lim Award Lecture, to be presented by Prof. Ke YAO:
Cataract surgery in
China has experienced a profound transformation,
evolving from traditional practices such as couching to
the implementation of advanced techniques like
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS).
This lecture provides an overview of the historical
progression and technological milestones that have
shaped cataract treatment in the country…
Save this
must-attend session on your calendar! The
topic and details of another named award
lecture, by Prof. Dennis S. C. LAM, will be
announced in due course.
