Dear colleagues, On behalf of the World Glaucoma Association, its Board of Governors and the World Glaucoma Congress Organizing and Program Committees, it is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in the World Glaucoma Congress in Paris on June 29-July 2, 2011. This meeting is likely to be the largest and most comprehensive glaucoma meeting held anywhere in the world to date. The Organizing and Program Committees have worked along with clinicians, researchers and leaders in our field to create an innovative, interactive meeting in a wonderful setting. More than 70 glaucoma societies from throughout the world will be represented, and will share their experiences, knowledge and creativity. Didactic sessions, basic and clinical science sessions, symposia and debates, courses, and posters have all been planned extensively to create a most memorable meeting. This is a great opportunity to meet colleagues, to exchange ideas and practical concepts, and most of all, to share friendship. Along with the Congress Organizing Committee, I look forward to welcoming you to Paris for this milestone event. M. Araie President World Glaucoma Association http://www.oic.it/wgc2011
