Dear Esteemed Members of the African Retina Society,

On behalf of the African Retina Society and Ophthalmological Society of Ethiopia (OSE), it is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 6th Annual African Retina Society Conference, to be held on June 12–13 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This year’s conference will bring together retina specialists, ophthalmologists, researchers, and allied professionals from across Africa and beyond for two days of high-level scientific exchange, skills enhancement, and collegial networking. The program will feature state-of-the-art lectures, case discussions, panel sessions, and updates on emerging diagnostic and therapeutic advances in medical and surgical retina, with a strong focus on challenges and innovations relevant to the African context.

Addis Ababa, the diplomatic capital of Africa, offers a unique setting for this important gathering—combining rich history, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you to a city that reflects the spirit of collaboration and progress that defines our Society.

Your participation will be invaluable in enriching discussions, strengthening professional ties, and advancing retinal care across the continent. Further details regarding registration, scientific program, and accommodation will be shared in due course.

We sincerely hope you will join us for this landmark event and contribute to the continued growth and success of the African Retina Society.
