Following Editor’s Steps in Ophthalmology and Advance Research before the End of 2021
Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
2021 has already been coming to the end when I am writing this in the 4th quarter, and Christmas is on the way. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuously hoisted throughout 2021, most of the academic conferences were turned into virtual, or if possible, hybrid form to cater only for local delegates [1,2]. Air travel and border crossing are still not common despite the gradually increasing rate of vaccination worldwide. Here, to celebrate the success of our journal’s second volume to expand up to her third issue, I am going to introduce a few virtual conferences in ophthalmology and advance researches before 2021 ends. Famous international ophthalmology conferences like American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC), Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) congress are all well known to the readers [3-5]. Concerning our locality in the Asia pacific region, we could go through the official website of APAO’s meeting calendar page. I would like to highlight two coming virtual conferences, the 14th Asia-Pacific Vitreo-retina Society (APVRS) Congress on December 11th-12th and 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting Hong Kong Ophthalmological Symposium 2021 from 4th to 5th December 2021.
