Since its establishment in 2000, APSOPRS has been working on improving communication and collaboration between oculoplastic specialists inside and outside the Asia-Pacific region. Until 2022, APSOPRS has 281 members from 21 countries, and we have well-resourced educational material for young doctors such as the YAPSOPRS training program. This time, leading experts will share their cutting-edge studies or brilliant surgical skills covering all aspects of ocular plastic.

The conference will also be the first offline gathering for our members after three years of pandemic restrictions. Chengdu, the multi-faceted city known as “the Country of Heaven”, will undoubtedly provide you with a novel experience. As the capital of Sichuan province, Chengdu offers the most authentic Sichuan food, which is one of the representatives of Chinese cuisine. It is also home of the giant panda, the Chinese national treasure.

On behalf of the APSOPRS council, I would once again extend a warm invitation to you to attend the APSOPRS 23rd Anniversary Symposium. Please stay safe and healthy, and looking forward to meeting you in China!

Warm regards! - Dongmei Li
