Dear Colleagues,

It is my honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the “ISLAND MEETING – Updates in Ophthalmology” – the 32nd annual scientific congress of the College of Ophthalmologists of Sri Lanka, which will take place from 12th-15th of September 2024 at Cinnamon Grand Hotel Colombo. This year it will be a combined conference with the Association of Vitreo Retina Specialists. The meeting will also include the 3rd congress of the South Asian Academy (SAOPOSA)

Innovation and advances in Ophthalmology have gained pace once again, after the slow down due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This year’s meeting attempts to summarize all these advances by focusing on updates.

As the president of this congress, I can assure you that we have worked hard to create a program that will be both informative and engaging. I encourage you to register today and join us for what promises to be an exciting and rewarding event.
