Large room will be dedicated to practical ophthalmic surgery during wet-labs and instructional courses to guarantee intensive continued medical education. The special highlight of 2018 will be the expansion of our Master class courses: Glaucoma Therapy, Refractive Surgery and Lid Surgery will be available. Furthermore a new course concept will be presented: The surgical skills training course. We are aiming at structuring a surgical procedure in single steps, which will give the possibility to comment on indication of surgery and postoperative treatment additionally. During Pro&Con-sessions speakers will defend their opinion and discuss with the audience. Video-Live surgery will once again be a centerpiece in 2018, allowing detailed insights into particular surgical techniques. Our scientific program will be completed with a series of seminars on Management issues for hospital and practice as well as with symposia on anesthesiology, contact lens and strabology. The seminar for the ophthalmic practice will be of particular interest for those colleagues whose focus is on medical ophthalmology. The doctors' program will be completed by a large and very refined program for the ophthalmic non-medical staff (POS). We are looking forward to your participation and a vivid exchange of views in Nuremberg." – Armin Scharrer, MD, President DOC

Regional II Ophthamology Meeting (RiiOM) is a scientific program organized by DKI Jakarta, West Java, Bekasi, Banten and West Kalimantan. We are fortunate indeed that the 1st RiiOM will be held in Jakarta. The collaboration of these five regions will give new perspectives and ensure that RiiOM will be a meeting not to be missed.

I am pleased to note that the RiiOM 2019 will take the theme "The Aging Eyes: Fulfilling Expectations". The presense of speakers from various regions will contribute to the improvement of ophthamology service particularly in aging eyes, which is necessary for the rise of the number of age-related eye problems. I hope that the discussion and presentations taking place over the next two days will lead to higher achievement in the field of ophthamology in our country. I wish the upcoming RiiOM willl succeed and organized by another region.

The organizing committee has put a lot of effort and time into a wide spectrum of programs to ensure the success of this scientific meeting. I would like to extend my special thanks to all speakers, participants, and organizing committee for their valueable contribution to the success of this event.

I look forward to seeing you at RiiOM 2019 in Jakarta.
