MSO Express: Newsletter Issue 7

 

Dear MSO Members,
 
More than 600 delegates and speakers descended upon Malacca in March this year to make the 33rd Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ophthalmic Congress 2018, focussed on Cataract & Refractive Surgery, one of the most successful international ophthalmic meetings to be held in Malaysia this year. There were delegates from afar as the Maldives and Canada and we welcomed our neighbours from Singapore and Thailand as, for the first time, the Asean Ophthalmology Society (AOS) officially joined in to support the congress. The MSO must record its gratitude to all who participated in this effort to organise, present, sponsor, and part-take in the sharing of knowledge at this annual congress which has grown to become a 'staple event' for Ophthalmologists in Malaysia.

With the increasing demand for cosmetic facial
injections, an increase in the complications associated
with the procedure is inevitable.

Recurrent chalazion in the upper eyelid, annoying or something different?
