WELCOME MESSAGE
From
Scientific Program Committee Chair
APAO 2027 Singapore Congress

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) of the 42nd Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) Congress, I extend a warm welcome to each of you attending APAO 2027 — one of the world’s premier ophthalmic gatherings.
Throughout our four-day program spanning March 18-21, 2027, you will explore cutting-edge developments and breakthrough innovations in eye care through our carefully curated scientific sessions. Whether your interests lie in fundamental research or advancing your clinical expertise, and irrespective of your subspecialty focus or career stage, I am confident you will gain a wealth of insights from our diverse array of presentations, symposiums, hands-on workshops, and practical wet lab sessions.
Personally, this marks my eighth time serving as SPC Chair for the APAO Congress since 2015. While I remain both honored and grateful for this opportunity, I continue to be struck by the exceptional caliber of contributions from our esteemed invited faculty and the authors of submitted abstracts. Each year, our dedicated colleagues persist in their efforts to fill scientific knowledge gaps, refine current therapeutic approaches, pioneer novel treatments, and leverage emerging technologies to better serve our patients’ evolving needs. I look forward to discovering another collection of compelling research findings that you will share at our 2027 meeting.
We truly hope you will maximize this exceptional platform to make enduring contributions to the field of eye care. Thank you for being part of this remarkable event, and let us embrace this rewarding journey together in Singapore!
Best regards,
Dennis LAM
Chair
APAO 2027 Scientific Program Committee
