Dear colleagues & friends, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th Annual International Meeting of Research Institute of Ophthalmology (RIO). That’s held from 30 to 31 Jan, 2025 at Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski, Cairo, Egypt. The theme of our conference this year is “Anterior Segment Eye Diseases Current Status & Future Directions”. A highly selective both international & national faculty will enrich the scientific program by addressing several controversial and challenging subjects and situations. This will be through lectures, symposia, panel discussions, video presentations and interactive sessions. All this is in addition to instructive courses with international experts participation and wet labs. An exhibition area will present the most updated surgical and pharmaceutical equipment in the field. Wish you a very nice and memorable stay with friends in Egypt exchanging ideas and opinions both on scientific and social levels.
