Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Japanese ophthalmologists and the members of the Organizing Committee of this Joint Meeting, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 15th Joint Meeting of Chinese-Japanese-Korean Ophthalmologists. We also appreciate the Organizing Committee of China for the work to organize a comprehensive joint meeting.

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 infection, this meeting will also be held on the web for the third time. We are very sorry that we can't visit China, but we’ll find that it will be very useful to have lively discussions online.

As you know, this meeting aims at mutual understandings, collaboration, and communication for the scientific and clinical fields of ophthalmology in each country. It is a special occasion to share the important achievements specific for East Asian ophthalmologists. We believe that our collaboration will become more valuable and essential.

We would like to respect all participants of this joint meeting and the committee members of each country to support this meeting.

We hope that the Joint Meeting 2022 will be successful and meaningful for all participants.

Sincerely yours,

Koh-hei Sonoda, M.D., Ph.D.

President of Japan Committee, Joint Meeting 2022
