Talks delivered in Asia as part of global education programme

Continuing his programme of delivering professional education around the world, Paul Ursell has visited Singapore for a three-day meeting with leading ophthalmologists.

 The 35th Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS) annual meeting was held at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre from 8 to 10 June, with a packed programme full of education and updates on the latest trends and innovations under the theme of “NEXUS – Connecting Everyone and Everything.”

Paul gave talks on cataract surgery in people living with dementia and also on modern Phako dynamics which generated a good discussion among delegates.

 APACRS evolved from the Asia-Pacific Intraocular Implant Association (APIIA) founded by Prof Arthur Lim to reflect the dynamic developments in cataract and refractive surgery.

 Asia is home to over half the world’s population. The society aims to address the continent’s cataract and refractive surgery needs, amid the further challenges presented by the region’s social, economic and cultural diversity.
