About Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology
The Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO) is a supranational organization that welcomes participation from national, territorial, and subspecialty-based ophthalmic societies in the Asia-Pacific.
As of April 2025, the APAO membership boasts 27 national/ territorial societies and 12 subspecialty societies. Together, we represent almost 120,000 ophthalmologists across the region, accounting for approximately 59% of the global ophthalmology community.
With a mission to promote the science and art of ophthalmology, we strive to eliminate preventable blindness in the region through teaching, research and service. We also organize an annual congress and publish the Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology to foster international professional collaborations.
