It is my privilege to welcome you to the 36th ECLSO Congress in Dubrovnik, Croatia. During the Congress an innovative and prestigious scientific program, one that will appeal to practicing contactologists and researchers will be presented.No ophthalmologist-contactologist should miss this golden opportunity to witness our working parties, to be informed of the latest scientific achievements, to discuss novel discoveries and, last but not least, to renew friendships. This together with a contact lens educational course will provide a complete teaching program in contactology. The Local organizing committee has made an effort to organize a couple of social events for your pleasure. Dubrovnik is the city of a world famous cultural heritage and beauty, inscribed on the List of World Heritage Cities by UNESCO, one of the most attractive and sunniest Mediterranean cities, with history going back over 1300 years. In closing, I look forward to welcoming you to Dubrovnik and to a mutually gratifying and exciting ECLSO meeting.
Respectfully yours, Ksenija Curuvija Opacic MD President of the Organizing Committee
