Message from Co-sponsor - European
Society of Ophthalmology (SOE)
|
|
|
|
Dear
Colleagues and Friends,
It
is with great pleasure that I
welcome you to the APAO Congress
in Bangkok.
I am
very grateful and honored to
have served as both guest and
co-sponsor of the Congress. The
annual congress is a fantastic
opportunity to interact with the
world’s leading professionals
and experts from across the
ophthalmology field.
|
|
|
It
is also a time to meet with old
friends and share the expertise
and best practices with
colleagues. I hope that the
discussion and presentations
taking place over the next four
days will lead to greater
achievements in the field of
ophthalmology both in the
Asia-Pacific region and all
around the world.
As
ophthalmologists, we need to be
open-minded to gather and share
new insights in our field to let
our patients benefit from the
cross-fertilization of
knowledge. I trust that we shall
all enjoy a wonderful Congress
for international friendship.
With
warmest personal regards,
Jan Tjeerd DE FABER
President, European Society of
Ophthalmology (SOE)
