Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 12th International Myopia Conference in Australia in July 2008. This will be held at the Palm Cove Resort, Palm Cove, near Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia, from 8th-12th July 2008.

The 12th International Myopia Conference Australia 2008 will serve as a platform for research scientists and eyecare professionals to present the latest findings in myopia research. Specifically, the aetiology of myopia from animal and human work, interventions to decrease the progression of myopia, ocular morbidity associated with myopia and the genetics of myopia are some of the highlights of an interesting and attractive scientific program. We hope to address commonly asked questions about myopia, consolidate the evidence for successful public health and vision screening programs, and develop new strategies to prevent myopia.

The International Myopia Conference is convened once in two years and we welcome everyone to Australia.

We invite you to join us in a rewarding experience at the 12th International Myopia Conference.
See you in Australia in 2008.
