Curtains Come Down !


On Sunday afternoon of 24th January 2010 after four days of hectic activities the curtains come down on the 68th Conference of All India Ophthalmological Society which was held jointly held with the 15th Afro Asian Congress of Ophthalmology. The members of OSWB who organised the conference left no stones unturned to make this mammoth show a success. This was reflected in the comment of many participants. The comment of one delegate Dr. B.C.Ratna of Bangalore probably sums up the impression of most of the delegates. This is what he had to say " Selection of Scientific Program Topic was very good, food arrangement was good. Trade exhibition venue was made in a nice manner , but the halls were far apart. "
