Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to cordially invite you to participate in the
Hong Kong Ophthalmological Symposium, the annual scientific meeting of the Hong Kong
Ophthalmological Society and the College of Ophthalmologists of Hong Kong to be held on 12th –
13th December 2015. The theme of the meeting is “Myopia and Oculoplastic”. We are most
honoured and delighted to have Professor Geoffrey ROSE, Consultant Surgeon, Moorfields Eye
Hospital, London, UK and Professor Terri YOUNG, Chairlady of Department of Ophthalmology
and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin, USA as our Featured Speakers. We have also invited
the newly established Hong Kong Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
(HKSOPRS) to organize a special symposium in the morning on 12th December 2015.
As in previous years, there will be sessions for free paper and poster presentations. This year, you
will have the option to submit a soft copy of your poster presentation to be an E-poster presentation
in addition to the printout version (printed poster remains mandatory). Your support is essential
if our meeting is to remain as successful and enjoyable as it has always been. Please find an
Abstract Form enclosed. A typed abstract of not more than 150 words should be submitted to the
Secretariat by e-mail to asm2015hk@yahoo.com.hk .
The deadline for abstract submission is
1st August 2015. Please note that the contents of the abstracts may be edited. The official tool for
presentation is Windows PowerPoint. Scientific posters should fit into the 54” (H) x 24” (W)
format. A maximum of two abstracts would be accepted for each first author.
Besides the prestigious awards for Outstanding Oral and Poster Presentations for “Pre-Academy
Fellows”, special prizes will also be presented in the well-received programme, “Residents’
Challenge”. In case of more than 2 posters with the same score for the Best Poster
Presentation Award, additional marks will be given to the member who also submitted an
E-poster. Abstracts of sufficient quality work will be published in the supplement issue of the Hong
Kong Journal of Ophthalmology.
Enclosed, please also find the Registration Form. You are encouraged to submit your registration
before 1st August 2015, as a special rate is available for ‘Early Birds’.
Thank you for your kind participation and active support.
