On behalf of the Lebanese Ophthalmological Society (LOS), it is a great pleasure and privilege to welcome you to our 27th annual meeting, which will be held at the Phoenicia hotel in Beirut on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of June, 2019.

The meeting will address major topics and discuss the updates and new trends in ophthalmology, thus contributing to the promotion of clinical practice and improvement in the quality of care.

Distinguished physicians and experts will join us to share their knowledge and experience. The congress program is broad and will cover various ophthalmic subspecialties, such as uveitis, glaucoma, retina, orbit, eyelid and cosmetic surgery, cornea, cataract and refractive surgery.

I would like to thank our distinguished guest speakers, who have taken the trouble of travelling long distances to share their experiences with us. We are honored to have them visit Beirut, the ever charming capital and glittering pearl of the Middle East.

Sincere thanks go to our LOS team, to the executive board, and to our scientific committee members, who did their best to make this event a success.

I would like to take this opportunity to also thank and express my deepest appreciation to our partners the participating companies that have always contributed by their continuous support in the making of this event.

Last but not least, special thanks to the team of our organizing company, Trust and Traders, who as usual, did all their best for the success of the meeting.

Finally, I welcome you once more and hope we will enjoy together a productive and a memorable event.
