This congress will serve as a vibrant platform for ophthalmologists, researchers, and trainees to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging technologies, and share clinical experiences. Through scientific sessions, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, participants will have the opportunity to learn from leading national and international experts while also showcasing their own valuable work.

The collaboration between APOTS, NOS, and NESOS reflects our collective vision to promote innovation in ophthalmic practice, enhance surgical skills, and foster meaningful professional relationships. By bringing together diverse expertise and perspectives, we aim to create an enriching academic environment that benefits both experienced specialists and young ophthalmologists.
