A dedicated team from Hong Kong is getting ready to create an unforgettable congress experience for delegates from all over the world. Check out their faces on the Organizing Committee website and say hello when you see them at APAO 2026!
We are excited to launch the official APAO YouTube channel, your new destination for Award Lectures, Congress highlights, curated content from APAO activities, and much more.
In the present issue of the APJO, Xu and colleagues and Lia and associates have used the publicly assessable Global Burden of Disease and Injury Study 2021 database and extracted data of the trends and projections of the burden of visual impairment in Asia and of the global burden of blindness and vision loss among children and adolescents.
With deepest sorrow, we share the sad news of the passing of Prof. Mark O.M. Tso, former Treasurer of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO), who is best remembered for his lifelong dedication to ophthalmic education.
Eligible candidates planning to attend APAO 2026 in Hong Kong may apply for our Prof. Yasuo Tano Travel Grants and/or Young Ophthalmologists (YO) Travel Grants until Sep 30, 2025.
