"This is a true sign of the strong and lasting relationship between our two societies who have worked together for many years. We will bring the best of Latin American ophthalmology, which has been characterized by innovative techniques and procedures." The Latin American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons was founded in 1991 as a nonprofit entity whose sole purpose is to expose ophthalmologists to the latest scientific and technological advances in anterior segment surgery. LASCRS/ALACCSA-R is the only organization that represents all of Latin America in the subspecialty and has acted in that position in joint activities with ASCRS, the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons, the Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refrac- tive Surgeons, and the Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology. Characterized by high scientific quality, internationally recognized faculty, and the attendance of thou- sands of ophthalmologists, the Latin American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons offers several educational meetings year-round.
