Dear Friends and Colleagues We have just concluded our 31st APACRS annual meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where we hosted over 1,700 attendees. Feedback on the meeting has been overwhelmingly positive, testament to the quality of the scientific content addressing the needs of Asian cataract and refractive surgeons and their patients. Next year, for the 32nd APACRS annual meeting, we are heading to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan. Located in a picturesque valley that is part of the Yamashiro or Kyoto Basin, along the Kamogawa River and surrounded by mountains, it is one of the most historic and attractive cities in the world, and the best time to visit Kyoto in the fall is from October to November. As always, our scientific committee is already planning a focused and relevant scientific program as has been our hallmark. Join us in Kyoto for the 32nd APACRS annual meeting!
