This year's assembly marks a milestone as we proudly host our annual meeting in the Eastern Province for the first time—a region renowned for its strategic importance, Arabian Gulf shores, and commitment to knowledge and culture.

We are grateful to conduct this symposium in alliance with Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University and Dhahran Eye Specialist Hospital.

The pre-conference program on November 4 will cover cornea advancements and the Young Ophthalmology track. The main congress from November 5–7 will cover all ophthalmic subspecialties.

Artificial intelligence, innovation, healthcare finance, medical education, and evolving clinical practice will also be discussed.

We look forward to your participation in this collaborative gathering.
