About Andhra Pradesh Ophthalmic Society

From the President’s Desk

At the outset, I would like to thank all APOS members and the APOS Executive for the confidence in me and electing me as the President of the prestigious APOS. I would like to shoulder this great responsibility and achieve certain goals during my tenure.

Updating the APOS members list and initiating a new membership drive will be our top priority. More membership will increase our importance in AIOS. District-level ophthalmological societies must be formed in all districts, and they must play an active role by being inclusive of AIOS programmes. We will support them in organizing more CME programmes by bringing reputed speakers at both national and state levels.

Postgraduates and practicing ophthalmologists will be trained and updated on recent developments through our ARC Committee activities. Under the leadership of our AIOS President Dr. Pardha Biswas, Dr. Santhosh Honovar, Dr. Manoj Madhur, and others, many new initiatives are taking shape at the national level. We will strive hard to ensure our members benefit from these activities.

As part of our social responsibilities, APOS will take up the following initiatives:

• Diabetic Retinopathy awareness
• Glaucoma awareness
• Promotion of Eye Donation
• School Children Eye Check-up

I thank you all once again and request your cooperation in achieving the goals of APOS.

Thanks,
Dr. AAV Ramalinga Reddy
