On behalf of the Scientific Committee, it is my great honor to welcome you to the joint NOS APOTS, and NESOS, conference 2026, to be held in the vibrant city of Kathmandu, Nepal this November. This conference represents a unique platform bringing together experts, clinicians, researchers, and young ophthalmologists from across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

Our program has been thoughtfully designed to encompass the full spectrum of ophthalmology, with a special focus on ocular trauma, oculoplasty, reconstructive surgery, and ocular aesthetics, alongside all other subspecialties. We have curated a rich blend of plenary lectures, interactive instruction courses, hands-on workshops, oral and poster presentations, video demonstrations, and competitive sessions, ensuring a stimulating and educational experience for all delegates.

We encourage all participants to actively engage, share their scientific insights, and foster collaboration across specialties. Your contributions, whether through scientific papers, posters, videos, or case discussions, will enrich the knowledge exchange and drive innovation in ophthalmic practice and research.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kathmandu and to an inspiring three days of academic excellence, professional networking, and personal enrichment. Together, let us advance the frontiers of ophthalmology for the benefit of our patients and communities.

Warm regards,
Dr Ranjana Sharma, MD
Vice President, Nepal Ophthalmic Society
