Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd Annual Meeting of the International Myopia Society, to be held in the heart of Tokyo at the Suzuki Akio Memorial Hall, Institute of Science Tokyo—conveniently located just across from Ochanomizu Station.

This year’s meeting will be held in conjunction with the 8th Annual Meeting of the Japan Myopia Society (June 20–21), together forming Myopia Week 2026.

The International Myopia Society was established just two years ago, and since then, we have held two highly successful meetings—our inaugural meeting in Paris, in collaboration with the French Myopia Institute and with support from EURETINA, and our second meeting in Singapore, which featured a dynamic consensus session and cutting-edge presentations by both international and local faculty.

The 3rd Annual Meeting will continue this tradition, featuring lectures and consensus sessions led by leading global experts. Myopia is a multifaceted field, encompassing pediatric care, complications, basic science, epidemiology, genetics, pharmacology, novel optical treatments, orthokeratology, and red-light therapy. Our aim is to bring together ophthalmologists, orthoptists, optometrists, researchers, and industry partners to foster rich, interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration.

In recent years, we’ve witnessed remarkable innovation in pediatric myopia management, with numerous new drugs and devices introduced by companies around the world. To reflect this momentum, the program will include industry-led presentations and an exhibition showcasing cutting-edge technologies—including some not yet approved in Japan—offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore the forefront of global myopia care.

We are also planning engaging social events featuring exceptional cuisine, offering opportunities for informal exchange and a taste of Tokyo’s renowned hospitality.

Participants may register for the International Myopia Society Meeting alone, or select a Myopia Week Package that includes full access to both meetings.

We warmly invite your participation and are confident this gathering will be both impactful and memorable.

I very much look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo in June 2026.

Warmest regards,
