Dear ADES Members, Supporting Members and Sponsors,

Thank you for choosing to participate ADES 2022! Due to the continuity of COVID-19, we are forced to hold virtual meeting for the third year. Since 2019, COVID-19 has greatly reformed our life style, and we have to use electronical devices for work, entertainment, as well as communications every day. Due to the change of our life style, besides myopia, dry eye has become the most prevalent eye disease all over the world, especially in Asia. Because of the increased incidence of dry eye, doctors and researchers have acquired in-depth understanding of this complex disease, which also inspires more thinking and generates more puzzles. Therefore, we believe our annual gathering is indispensable for the information exchange and discussion among our members. Thanks to all the council members, they have elaborately selected speakers from different Asian countries, which will undoubtably help our members obtain the latest news and ideas regarding dry eye research.

At last, I also would like to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to the council members, members, and sponsors. Without your efforts and enthusiasm, we cannot make our gathering in reality. We are looking forward to meeting you online this year, and I believe our onsite meeting will come soon!
