First of all, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the executive committee members of Japanese Ophthalmological Society who allowed us to host this congress. Secondly, we would like to express our gratitude to Professor Toshiki Murata who is the Chair of the program committee and last but not least, we would like to thank the program committee members who are working on hard with Prof Murata to create this wonderful and interesting program.

The theme of the congress is "Progress and Breakthrough". There has been a steady progress in the last 120 years of the Japanese Ophthalmological Society. There is also remarkable technological innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), which is impacting the research and medical in Ophthalmology as well.

I'd like to introduce Professor Naoyuki Maeda at Osaka University and Professor Shuichi Yamamoto, Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology at Chiba University will give plenary Lectures. I'd also like to extend special welcome to two great invited speakers from United State; Professor Paul A Sieving from National Institute of Health and National Eye Institute and Professor Peter Campochiaro from the Johns Hopkins University. We are looking forward to hearing the wonderful lectures by Japanese great researchers and world giant researchers.

It goes without saying that learning the latest knowledge from original papers and the symposia is important. Updating knowledge through instruction courses and sponsored seminars and testing the latest equipment at the exhibition are just as important. It may not always easy to acquire the latest research and medical information, but I hope that the congress will help you.

The National Kyoto International Conference Center is one of the largest convention centers in Japan, but was not enough large for the Annual Congress of Japan Clinical Ophthalmology, due to the increase in number of participants. Fortunately, a new exhibition hall was established recently and we will use this exhibition hall for the first time in Ophthalmology conference which allows us more exhibition.

Lastly, Kyoto is the old capital of Japan where you could enjoy historical sites, both modern and traditional cultures cuisine. We are sure that you and your families enjoy the stay in Kyoto. We sincerely look forward to your active participation.

On behalf of Organizing Committee of “In-Depth Meeting 2020”, it is indeed my honour and privilege to welcome you all, to this prestigious ” the 1^st In-Depth Meeting 2020” to be held on 18-19 April 2020 at the Borobudur hotel, Jakarta.

In-Depth, INASCRS Development Program for Ophthalmologists, is one of the INASCRS programs in disseminating knowledge specifically basic skills in the fields of Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgery through comprehensive didactic courses platform. In-Depth meeting aims to encourage especially young and existing Ophthalmologists to learn and become an expert in one of these sectors of Cornea, Cataracts, and Refractive Surgery. In this meeting INASCRS is collaborating with INACORS (Indonesian Cornea Society).

Despite significant scientific advances in Cornea, Cataract and Refractive Surgery over last few decades, the knowledge to practice gap still exists due to most of teaching hospitals in our country don’t have dedicated programs to teach them lengthily. The theme of the meeting “Enhancing Clinical Competence” could contribute towards addressing this knowledge to practice gap. A distinguished panel of national and international experts would be sharing their expertise and clinical practice perspectives during this meeting, which would be applicable in your clinical practice. I also believe that, meeting with your friends and sharing of your own clinical practice perspectives with them, would further make this meeting rich in its content, with a win-win situation for all.

So register now, and see you at the 1^st In-Depth Meeting 2020!

Chairperson,

We have the pleasure to invite you to join us at the 34th International Congress of the Hellenic Society of Intraocular Implant and Refractive Surgery, which will take place at the Megaron Athens International Conference Center on 19-22 March 2020, with the participation of the Egyptian Ophthalmological Society (EOS).

After three decades of continuous presence and educational contribution to ophthalmology, the annual Congress of the Hellenic Society of Intraocular Implant and Refractive Surgery is “moving” from the familiar space of Hilton Athens Hotel to the impressive premises of Megaron International Conference Center.

The dynamics and the extrovert character of our Congress, as well as the innovation and the high scientific level of the program presented, have established this congress as the most successful Greek event in the field of Surgical Ophthalmology.

Your notably high and every year increasing active participation in the HSIOIRS Congress, shows your appreciation for the events of our Society and is our biggest motivation.

For the year 2020 we aim to continue the successful course of the HSIOIRS Congress, by giving you an upgraded and different experience. This will be achieved not only through the change of the congress venue, but also through many changes and innovations in the content and the structure of the scientific program.

Of course, like every year, the scientific program will be consisted of keynote lectures from distinguished ophthalmologists from all over the world, round table discussions, instructional courses, near live surgery videos, free papers, video projections, e-posters and wet-labs.

An important and integral part of the success of this Congress is and always has been your participation, as speakers but also as participants.

We look forward to welcoming you!

der 33. Internationale Kongress der Deutschen Ophthalmochirurgen (DOC) findet vom 18.-20. Juni 2020 in Nürnberg statt.

Renommierte Experten stellen Innovationen und Weiterentwicklungen vor und diskutieren die Goldstandards der Augenchirurgie mit dem Auditorium. Der praktischen Ophthalmochirurgie wird viel Raum in Wetlabs und Kursen eingeräumt, so dass eine umfassende, praxisnahe Fort- und Weiterbildung gewährleistet ist.

Neben den Master Class Kursen, die einen exzellenten Überblick in komprimierter Form über einen Teilbereich der Augenheilkunde/Augenchirurgie geben, werden auch die Operationskurse kontinuierlich erweitert.

Das Ziel der Operationskurse ist es, einen klaren Operationsablauf, unterteilt in Einzelschritten, den Teilnehmern an die Hand zu geben, ergänzt durch Erläuterungen zur Indikationsstellung und zur postoperativen Nachbehandlung.

In Pro- & Contra-Sitzungen verteidigen die Referenten ihren Standpunkt und diskutieren mit dem Auditorium.

Auch in 2020 steht im Mittelpunkt die Video-Live-Surgery in 3D, die äußerst detaillierte Einblicke in spezielle OP-Techniken gewährt.

Ein wichtiges Merkmal der DOC ist die kontroverse Diskussion.
Aufgabe der Vorsitzenden einer Sitzung ist es, die kontroverse Diskussion aktiv zu gestalten, d.h. alternative Ansichten und abweichende Meinungen zu diskutieren. Auch die subjektive, persönliche Meinung der Vorsitzenden ist für das Auditorium von Interesse.

Das wissenschaftliche Programm wird durch die Seminarreihe Management in Klinik und Praxis sowie durch Symposien über Telemedizin, Anästhesie, Kontaktlinsen, Strabologie und Wahlleistungen (IGeLSymposium) ergänzt. Das Seminar für die Praxis des Augenarztes wird für unsere primär konservativ tätigen Kollegen von besonderem Interesse sein.

Das Programm für die Ärzte wird ergänzt durch ein umfassendes und sehr differenziertes Programm für das ophthalmologische Assistenzpersonal, das OAP-Programm.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme an dem 33. DOC vom 18.-20. Juni 2020 in Nürnberg!

Ihr

A. Scharrer
Präsident DOC
