7th International Congress on Glaucoma Surgery

February 20-22, 2014 Singapore

The 7th International Congress on Glaucoma Surgery (ICGS), will be held in Singapore, from February 20-22, 2014. Over the last 12 years, the ICGS has become synonymous with the highest caliber scientific meeting in the field of Glaucoma.

We are expecting around 1000, including the virtual who’s who of the world of glaucoma: a multinational cast of key glaucoma leaders, premier guest speakers, and corporate representatives from all glaucoma-related fields. Our target audience includes glaucoma specialists, general ophthalmologists, and related professionals from all over the world.

The world of glaucoma surgery is evolving at a dynamic pace that requires harmonization with research, technological advances, device innovations, and technical refinements in the surgical management of glaucoma. With laser and surgical therapy being the prime focus, the ICGS also endeavors to incorporate all aspects of glaucoma care, including epidemiology, diagnostics and medical therapy in order to be increasingly relevant to the glaucoma practitioner and researcher. This unique scientific meeting generates great enthusiasm and is renowned for garnering wide spread interest and enrolment.
