Dear
Esteemed
Colleagues
and Friends,
We are
thrilled to
announce
that
preparations
for the 18th
Asia-
Pacific
Vitreo-retina
Society
(APVRS)
Congress in
Manila are
well
underway,
and an
exceptional
program is
taking
shape! This
year’s
Congress,
set for
December 12
- 14, 2025,
promises 3
enriching
days with 36
invited
scientific
programs,
delving into
a wide
spectrum of
topics—from
cutting-edge
innovations
in retinal
imaging and
surgical
techniques
to the
latest
advancements
in medical
retina,
pediatric
retina, and
translational
medicine.
We are proud
to bring you
a scientific
program
thoughtfully
designed to
engage a
wide range
of interests
and levels
of
specialization.
Our theme, “Retina
360°,”
offers a
comprehensive
view of our
field—emphasizing
continuous
learning,
practical
application,
interdisciplinary
collaboration,
and
transformative
innovation.
This year’s
sessions
will
spotlight
the latest
advances in
pathophysiology,
diagnostics,
pharmacotherapy,
and surgical
techniques.
We will also
explore
groundbreaking
technologies,
including
artificial
intelligence,
gene
therapy, and
novel
therapeutics—highlighting
how these
breakthroughs
can be
harnessed to
improve
outcomes and
elevate eye
care across
the region.
To ensure
relevance
for all
attendees,
we have
collaborated
closely with
Philippine
Academy of
Ophthalmology
(PAO) to
curate a
robust
parallel
track of
symposia
spanning
other
subspecialties
and beyond.
These
sessions,
led by
esteemed
local and
international
experts, are
designed to
provide
practical
updates,
enhance
clinical
acumen, and
offer pearls
of wisdom
that can be
immediately
applied to
your daily
practice.
Whether you
are deeply
engaged in
retina or
focused on
another
subspecialty,
this
congress
promises to
broaden your
knowledge,
enrich your
perspective,
and foster
meaningful
professional
connections.
Beyond the
halls of the
conference,
we invite
you to
immerse
yourself in
the warmth,
hospitality,
and rich
cultural
tapestry of
the
Philippines.
From the
vibrant
rhythms of
our city and
the flavors
of our
cuisine to
the
legendary
hospitality
of our
people, we
hope your
time in
Manila will
be as
enriching
personally
as it is
professionally.
Mabuhay, and
see you in
Manila!
