Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

It is my privilege to warmly welcome you to AIOC 2026, being held in the historic city of Jaipur from 12–15 March 2026. As Secretary of the Rajasthan Ophthalmological Society, I am honored to be part of this prestigious event that brings together pioneers, experts, and young minds from across the country in the field of ophthalmology.

This conference serves as an essential platform to address existing challenges, foster collaboration, and explore innovative solutions aimed at advancing ophthalmic patient care in India. Through robust scientific deliberations and meaningful interactions, AIOC 2026 aspires to contribute significantly to the growth of all subspecialties of ophthalmology.

Beyond the enriching academic program, Jaipur offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. March is among the best months to visit, with pleasant weather ideal for exploring the city’s architectural marvels, vibrant markets, and rich royal heritage. I encourage you to take some time to experience the cultural essence of this magnificent city.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the scientific committee, esteemed faculty, sponsors, organizing committee, and all participants for their dedication and enthusiasm in making this conference a landmark event. May this gathering inspire new ideas, foster lasting collaborations, and drive meaningful progress in ophthalmology across India.
