I look forward to welcoming you to our unique tropical island where you will not only get the opportunity to learn more about the newest discovery, techniques and developments in ophthalmology, but also gain unforgettable memories of friendships made and renewed.

Sincerely yours,

The APAO Congress has certainly grown in scientific content and in stature as one of the most important ophthalmology conferences in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Over 1,000 leading experts from around the world will be speaking on all areas of ophthalmology and visual sciences, with an emphasis on the latest cutting-edge scientific innovations, treatments, surgical techniques and technologies.
This Congress also provides delegates with a platform for networking, allowing them to establish lifelong friendships and to look for collaborative opportunities. The congress venue, Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Center, is located in the heart of the Central Business District with many tourist attractions nearby. Singapore has a vibrant history and diverse ethnic quarters to discover, along with the many family-oriented attractions and precious public spaces that make visiting this gem of Southeast Asia worthwhile.
