At the Nexus of Global Ophthalmology

Ophthalmologists

from across the globe descend on Singapore for APACRS 2023’s long weekend of camaraderiefilled cataract and refractive action

One of the world’s great cultural melting pots has provided the perfect backdrop for the 35th iteration of the Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS 2023) annual meeting. Here at the crossroads of Asia, the stage was set for a three-day-long melding of ophthalmic innovation, research, and collaboration in the cataract and refractive space.

June is here again, and for ophthalmic conference-goers in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, that means it’s time for the APACRS annual meeting. And while last year’s meeting in Seoul had the tenor of a post-pandemic sigh of relief, this year’s 35th version of the Meeting has the celebratory air of a festival.
