Dear colleagues and friends,

In recent years, dry eye disease has drawn more and more attention in Asia area. Thus, our society has two tasks, one is to popularize the basic knowledge regarding dry eye in Asia, and the other is to attract and encourage more young doctors to join our society and conduct dry eye research so as to maintain our vitality. To fulfill these two tasks, our society has set up two new sessions during last two years. In the Educational session, we invite council members and prestigious experts to deliver educational lectures.

In the Young doctors session, we choose promising new-stars in dry eye field to share their new findings. All the council members and I also insist to make both sessions free and open to all the doctors and friends who are willing to get more information of dry eye. We hope our efforts could attract more doctors and researchers to join dry eye research, and solve the problems in the field. Last year we have welcomed more than 400 participants in these two sessions. This year I hope these two sessions could provide more fresh new ideas to all of you!
