We are excited to announce a new PAAO-YO activity!  With the generous support from Johnson & Johnson Vision, a PAAO-YO Lounge is being organized to provide a place for Young Ophthalmologists from all over the world to meet, to network, to exchange scientific knowledge, and to expand cultural horizons.  There will be opportunities to meet with PAAO leaders and to learn from the experts on the hot topics in Ophthalmology.  There is no ticket fee to enter the PAAO-YO Lounge.  The PAAO-YO Lounge will be located on the ground floor of the main exhibit hall of the Cancun Convention Center. 

Come join us!
