Welcome to the 11th World Glaucoma Congres
A Message from the Executive Vice President
Dear Colleagues and Friends, Aloha!
On behalf of the World Glaucoma Association (WGA), it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all delegates attending the 11th World Glaucoma Congress (WGC) in beautiful Honolulu. As the premier global event in glaucoma education, the WGC represents the core mission of the WGA: to advance knowledge, foster collaboration, and ultimately improve the lives of patients living with glaucoma.
Education is the cornerstone of our work at the WGA, and the WGC is our flagship platform for sharing knowledge. This year’s Congress brings together a truly international faculty of thought leaders—clinicians, surgeons, and scientists who represent the very best in global glaucoma expertise. We are honored to host sessions led by distinguished colleagues from over 50 countries, highlighting diverse perspectives, emerging evidence, and new paradigms of care.
We are equally proud to feature our Society Symposia, which exemplify the spirit of international cooperation that defines the WGA. These sessions are a testament to the strength we gain through collaboration—across borders, specialties, and disciplines. Our shared goal is clear: to elevate the standard of glaucoma care around the world.
We also want to acknowledge the invaluable support of our glaucoma industry partners. Their innovations continue to drive progress in diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgical technologies. We thank them for their ongoing collaboration and encourage all delegates to engage with our industry colleagues in the exhibit hall and sponsored events.
One of this year’s major highlights is the 12th Consensus Meeting, (directed by Dr Weinreb and Dr Xu and their team of co-chairs) will presents a comprehensive update on angle closure and angle closure glaucoma—an area of pressing global importance. We also encourage you to attend the hands-on workshops, which offer practical training and direct interaction with experts in surgical techniques, imaging, and laser therapies.

Beyond the scientific program, the WGC is also a place to connect, share stories, and build lifelong professional relationships. Whether you’re attending a session, meeting a new colleague over coffee, or exchanging ideas during a social event—network, collaborate, and enjoy every moment.
Thank you for joining us. Your participation is what makes the World Glaucoma Congress a truly global forum. Let’s learn, share, and work together to move the field forward.
Warm regards,
Kaweh Mansouri, MD, MPH
Executive Vice President
World Glaucoma Association
