The APAO program also featured a very well-received YO night. We had good YO representation from all the Asian regions: Southeast Asia (Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malalysia, Cambodia etc), Northeast Asia (South Korea, Mongolia, China, Taiwan) and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives). YOs were able to share and connect with each other and more senior ophthalmologists throughout the evening. We were also treated to an amazing talent show by our regional YOs.
