Welcome to the 10th Annual Meeting of the Indian Retinopathy of Prematurity Society. It is our great privilege to host this milestone gathering at Aravind Eye Hospital, Coimbatore. This meeting brings together ophthalmologists united by a shared commitment to improving the care and outcomes of infants at risk of retinopathy of prematurity.

The scientific program has been thoughtfully curated to encourage learning, exchange, and innovation. Alongside keynote lectures and expert panels, the meeting will feature engaging free paper sessions, insightful e-posters, a video session, and interactive discussions on challenging clinical cases. These platforms are designed to showcase emerging research, share real-world experiences, and foster meaningful dialogue among participants.

Our pre-conference workshops offer valuable hands-on training opportunities. Delegates will have the chance to practice laser delivery using indirect ophthalmoscopy on model eyes, perform intravitreal injection techniques on goat eyes, and gain practical exposure to ROP telescreening using a range of imaging systems and cameras. These sessions aim to strengthen both technical skills and confidence in delivering high-quality care.

We hope this meeting provides a stimulating academic environment, encourages collaboration, and inspires new ideas that will advance the field of ROP. We warmly welcome you to Coimbatore and wish you a rewarding and memorable experience.

Warm regards,

Dr. V. Narendran, Organizing Chairperson
