    We are happy to present the proceedings of the 43rdAnnual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the OSN in this third edition of the Transactions of Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria. The conference took place between 30thAugust and1st of September, 2018 at the Federal Capital City of Abuja. It brought  together specialist and subspecialist ophthalmologists from various part of Nigeria and outside the country.

    The Conference provided opportunity for ophthalmologists at different levels of training to interact and share ideas with qualified ophthalmologists. The theme of the Conference was Advancing Eye Care Beyond  2020 with the sub theme Recent Advances in Eye Care. Over 400 participants were present at the Conference with the various geopolitical zones of the country well represented.

    One of the major focus of the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria(OSN) is to develop evidenced based research locally in order to get proven Nigerian indices of local eye and eye related conditions. To that effect, the OSN has resolved to produce into a journal the articles presented during the last conference of the society. Thus, at Abuja 2018, the Editorial Board was mandated to publish full length articles as well as the current referenced abstracts. The Board has therefore commenced the process of establishing a manuscript management system to ease handling of articles.

    The original research articles compiled in this volume represent the output of research work conducted by various ophthalmologists of different sub-specialities from various public and private institutions in the country and also from colleagues outside of the country/ continent following careful peer review of the abstracts.

    The current publications cover various subspecialties including Retina and Vitreous, Glaucoma,  Paediatrics and Oculoplastics. It is believed that this procedure will make available body of knowledge generated by research (especially locally) which should translate to better approaches at managing ocular conditions at our various communities. Many of the articles presented here can comfortably be used as template for better patient management and further research by ophthalmologists, and as a pool of ideas for implementation by policy makers.

    The  contributions of the various groups and organisations that worked tirelessly in making this Journal a reality is well appreciated. Notable amongst which is the OSN executives, the NJO crew and representatives of subspecialties. We have placed a minimal publication cost to the authors to help us offset the high cost of publication.

    Thank you.

    It is with great joy that we present this special edition of the proceedings of the 41st Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the OSN. Prior to this time we had published the proceedings as supplement of the Nigeria Journal of Ophthalmology. This time onwards however we are publishing the transactions as a stand alone brand new publication complete with its own ISBN Number. The Conference took place between the 24th and 26th of August, 2016 at the garden city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria bringing together specialist and subspecialist ophthalmologists from various part of Nigeria and also outside the country. The Conference provided opportunity for ophthalmologists at different levels of training to interact and share ideas with qualified ophthalmologists. The theme of the Conference was TECHNOLOGY FOR OPHTHALMIC CARE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD, with subtheme: REHABILITATION OF THE IRREVERSIBLY BLIND. Over 400 participants were present at the conference with the various geopolitical zones of the country well represented. One of the major focus of the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria is to develop evidenced based researches locally in order to get proven Nigerian indices of local eye and eye related conditions.
