πŸŽ₯ Prof. Colin Chan, Scientific Program Committee Member, invites you to APVRS 2026 Gold Coast!

Prof. Colin Chan Colin Chan gives us a sneak peek of what’s in store at APVRS 2026. And it’s not just about retina β€” this year’s scientific program reaches across the full spectrum of ophthalmology, connecting retina with cornea, cataract, myopia, glaucoma, and more.

One session not to miss is the APVRS-APMS Symposium: Surgical Correction of Myopia, chaired by Prof. Chan himself. The session will dive into the surgical challenges of cataract surgery in highly myopic patients, including IOL selection, retinal detachment risk, managing patients with previous ICL or laser refractive surgery, and newer approaches like scleral reinforcement and trabeculectomy.

Whether youβ€˜re a retina specialist, anterior segment surgeon, or comprehensive ophthalmologist, APVRS 2026 has something for you.
