Scientific Mission
The XIII Congress of the Latin American Glaucoma Society aims to promote continuing medical education, research, updated scientific knowledge, and regional integration to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of glaucoma across Latin America by bringing together professionals, researchers, scientific societies, and industry leaders committed to visual health.
Our mission is to establish the Congress as the most significant scientific event on glaucoma in Latin America—recognized for academic excellence, clinical innovation, and regional cooperation. By doing so, we seek to positively impact patients’ quality of life and strengthen public health policies on visual care throughout the region.
In addition, the Congress aspires to position Quito as a premier destination for international scientific events, paving the way for the city to be considered in future editions of global glaucoma congresses.
Cultural Vision
At the heart of the planet, diversity becomes an experience.
Discover a unique opportunity to unite cutting-edge scientific knowledge with the cultural and natural wealth of one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. Ecuador—acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage site and recognized as one of the world’s most megadiverse destinations—offers an unparalleled journey: from the legendary Galápagos Islands and the Amazon rainforest to the majestic Andes Mountains and the warm Pacific coastline.
articipation in this event goes beyond access to the latest advances in glaucoma. It is an invitation to experience a country where history, gastronomy, breathtaking landscapes, and genuine hospitality coexist within remarkably short distances—creating the perfect harmony of science, culture, and tourism.
