Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS)

Singapore, Singapore, Singapore

The APACRS is a leading organization representing cataract and refractive surgeons - a forum for regional interaction working in close partnership with regional and international cataract and refractive surgery societies in providing ophthalmic education.

Over the years, the APACRS has developed various instruments to fulfil this function. Among them 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. From its inception in 2005, the magazine's readership has grown to over 50,000 ophthalmologists in over 22 countries in the region.

The Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS) 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.
