President of HKSPO
On behalf of the organizing committee of this Conference, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of you to the 12th Asia Cornea & Contact Lens Conference (ACCLC) which shall be held in Hong Kong from 13th to 14th of May 2020.
The 1st ACCLC was held in Hong Kong in 2004, and this year will mark the 12th ACCLC. Over the years, ACCLC has been providing a platform to our delegates from different regions of Asia to learn and share the latest science and technology in anterior eye management and contact lens practice.
This year, Hong Kong shall serve as the host for the 12th ACCLC. Hong Kong is located in the heart of Asia, which is an ideal venue for this landmark event. Delegates will be inspired by this wonderful city with its diverse cultures.
This Conference is organized by the Hong Kong Society of Professional Optometrists and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Optometry, the Hong Kong Association of Private Practice Optometrists, the Hong Kong Contact Lens Research Associations, and the Eye Foundation.
In this Conference, local and international speakers will present a wide range of the latest clinical and scientific aspects in fields such as specialty contact lens practice, myopia control using contact lenses, as well as dry eye management. In addition, there are sessions of scientific free paper/poster presentations and industrial seminars. Through these sessions, eye care practitioners, academics, scientists and various stakeholders from industries can share and exchange their knowledge and new findings that will ultimately improve the management in anterior ocular health and contact lens care in different regions of Asia.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to all the keynote speakers, presenters, sponsors, delegates, and the members of organizing committee for taking part in and supporting this Conference.
I wish all of you to enjoy the 12th ACCLC.
Yours sincerely,
