ABOUT APACRS

Published quarterly, the EyeWorld Asia-Pacific comes in 4 editions – Asia-Pacific, China, India and Korea and each issue is also freely accessible online at eyeworldap.apacrs. org and via the APACRS website. In 2017, celebrating its 30 th anniversary, the society also produced the APACRS Principles of Preferred Practice in Cataract Surgery and the APACRS Principles of Preferred Practice for Management of the Ocular Surface in Cataract & Refractive Surgery . The two publications were developed by distinguished anterior segment ophthalmic surgeons from the Asia-Pacific to provide guidelines based on the latest medical evidence and expert opinion geared specifically toward ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgeons practicing in the region. DIGITAL PRESENCE APACRS maintains its website at www.apacrs.org. This resource is accessible to members wherever they can get online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to linking to the digital version of EyeWorld Asia-Pacific , the website offers news, important announcements, and a convenient biometry calculator utilizing various IOL formulae developed by Prof. Barrett: the Barrett Universal II formula, the Barrett Toric Calculator, the Barrett True-K Formula, the Barrett True-K Toric Calculator, and the Barrett Rx Formula. Prof. Barrett recently introduced a new feature to the online calculator: the Barrett K Calculator allows surgeons to input information from up to three different devices and automatically provides the mathematically correct combination of the data.

The society evolved from the Asia-Pacific Intraocular Implant Association (APIIA) founded by Prof Arthur Lim to reflect the dynamic developments in cataract and refractive surgery at the turn of the millennium. In 1987, Prof Lim foresaw the importance of these developments in Asia, and the society has since witnessed rapid growth under the leadership of Past Presidents Professor Graham Barrett, Clinical Associate Professor Ronald Yeoh, Professor Hiroko Bissen-Miyajima, Dr Abhay Vasavada, Professor Yao Ke and current leadership under Dr Pannet Pangputhipong. While the Asia-Pacific geographically represents about a quarter of the world, Asia is home to over half the world’s population. The society aims to address the continent’s cataract and refractive surgery needs, accepting the further challenge of the region’s social, economic, and cultural diversity. Meeting this challenge head on, the APACRS has developed various means to fulfill its function and guide its members along the path to enlightenment. PRINT PUBLICATIONS Among the tools the society has developed to achieve its goals is EyeWorld Asia-Pacific , an international anterior segment ophthalmology news magazine. The magazine keeps readers abreast of the latest developments in ophthalmology while hewing to a perspective that is always relevant to the particular needs, cognizant to the nuances of the Asia-Pacific region. Now in its 21 st year, the magazine is read by over 60,000 ophthalmologists in over 100 countries around the world.

12

Highlights of the scientific program include a small number of high-quality MasterClasses covering the hottest topics in ophthalmic surgery today, Film Festival, Top Gun and features the Combined Symposium of Cataract and Refractive Societies (CSCRS). First held in 2005 at the 18 th APACRS annual meeting in Beijing, this joint symposium has become the most prominent session at the APACRS annual meetings. CSCRS represents an important collaboration and alliance of ASCRS and ESCRS, major cataract and refractive societies in presenting perspectives from the four corners of the globe. Held in different countries in the Asia-Pacific region and welcoming delegates and guests from all over the world, the APACRS annual meeting has become the most important regional meeting for cataract and refractive surgery and one of the most important educational events in the global ophthalmological calendar.

As part of our mission to provide a forum for continuing professional education and skills transfer especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, all the winning films from the last 14 years of the APACRS Film Festival were made available on the APACRS website at www.apacrs.org without access restriction. This treasure trove of films provided an educational and entertaining resources to viewers. APACRS also hosted a series of webinars in 2020 – 2022 covering cataract surgery, refractive surgery and corneal surgery and videos also available on the APACRS website at www.apacrs.org. ANNUAL MEETINGS All the society’s activities culminate in its annual meeting. The society’s annual meeting features a carefully curated scientific program, tailored and relevant to doctors in the Asia-Pacific. The program includes important practice information provided by a top-rate faculty from around the world.

APACRS LIM LECTURE

Professor Arthur Lim Siew Ming (1934 – 2014)

FOUNDING & HONORARY LIFE PRESIDENT Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS) FOUNDING MEDICAL DIRECTOR Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) FOUNDING CHAIRMAN Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI)

The Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS), formerly known as the Asia-Pacific Intraocular Implant Association (APIIA), was founded by Prof Arthur S.M. Lim, a pioneer who recruited and worked with expert ophthalmic microsurgeons from around the world to introduce microsurgical techniques and intraocular lens implant technology to the region. Prof Lim and these experts taught thousands of ophthalmologists, many of whom have returned to their homelands to become leaders in their profession. Prof Lim’s name became synonymous with sterling eye developments, including the creation of the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), the Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI), and the Department of Ophthalmology, National University Hospital (NUH). He also helped establish the International Intraocular Implant Training Centre in Tianjin, now the Tianjin Medical University Eye Centre. All these institutions are now centers of excellence,

continuing his life-long dedication and commitment to the promotion of quality eye care, education, and research.

Having held numerous positions in international ophthalmology organizations and a recipient of numerous awards for his extraordinary contributions over the last five decades, Prof Lim leaves an indelible mark in the history of ophthalmology not only in Singapore but also in the region and the world. Prof Arthur S.M. Lim, visionary leader and venerable father of ophthalmology in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region, and the world, passed away peacefully in his home on 30 August 2014, with his loving family and close ones by his side. He will always be fondly remembered as our Founding Father, Leader, Advocate, and Mentor.

“If you operate on one man, you restore vision to one man, but if you teach your colleagues how to perform quality cataract surgery, they will solve the problem of cataract blindness in the world.” Professor Arthur S. M. LIM

Friday, 22 August 2025 • 10:45 – 12:15hrs Convention Hall 2, Mahatma Mandir Convention and Exhibition Centre (MMCEC), Ahmedabad, India BRIDGING LASER AND LENS EXTRACTION - THE EVOLUTION OF PHAKIC IOLS Phakic IOLs (PIOL) were developed in the 1970/80 and appeared on the market as iris fixated (Worst/Fechner, 1986), anterior chamber angle-supported (Baikoff, 1987) and ciliary sulcus fixated (Fyodorov, 1993) options. A tremendous growth of myopia and presbyopia has been noticed by surgeons worldwide. PIOLs were then necessitated as a method to correct high myopia, later astigmatism and more recently to lower refractive errors. Presbyopia correction is among the latest applications of PIOLs. In ciliary sulcus fixated IOL, sizing is a particularly important part of IOL calculation. Prof Thomas Kohnen will share his experience with 3,000 PIOLs of all types he has implanted and explanted and will also provide peer-reviewed data over the last 20 years.
