APACRS HISTORY HISTORY OF APACRS The Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (APACRS) evolved from the Association of the Asia-Pacific Intraocular Implant Association (APIIA) at the turn of the millennium to reflect the dynamic developments in cataract and refractive surgery. Founded in 1987 by Prof Arthur Lim who foresaw the importance of such a development in Asia, the Association has since witnessed rapid growth and the transition of leadership to Professor Graham Barrett in 2000 to lead the APACRS to greater heights. The Association has held its annual meeting as an international congress in association with regional organizations all over Asia since its inception in 1987, the last one being held in Beijing, PR China in June 2005. The forthcoming 19th Annual meeting will be held in Singapore, 10-15 June 2006.
MISSION APACRS is a leading organization representing cataract and refractive surgeons. It is a forum for regional interaction in the field of cataract and refractive surgery in Asia equivalent to the ASCRS in America and the ESCRS in Europe.
