Istanbul, Turkey — Thai medical expertise took the global stage once again as Dr. Nattawut Wanamkhang, Director of AtEye Clinic, was honored to serve as a speaker at the international WSOPRAS 2025 (World Society of Ophthalmic Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery) conference. The prestigious event was held at the Four Seasons Bosphorus Hotel & Convention Center in Istanbul, Turkey, from April 10 to 13, 2025. Dr. Nattawut delivered his lecture on April 12.
The topic of his presentation was “Mucosal Flap Suturing in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy,” a cutting-edge technique for treating nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). This approach is effective for both patients undergoing the procedure for the first time and those who have previously undergone surgery without success. The technique is minimally invasive, safe, and allows for a quicker recovery while significantly reducing the chance of recurrence.
This year’s WSOPRAS marks the second global meeting of the society, following the resounding success of its inaugural event in Dubai in 2023. The previous meeting welcomed over 460 attendees from 64 countries and featured 171 expert faculty members from around the world. The Istanbul conference continues the society’s commitment to academic excellence, offering interactive case discussions, expert panels, challenging debates, and open forums designed to promote deeper learning and global knowledge exchange.
Istanbul, as the host city, offers the perfect blend of history and modernity—straddling both Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus. With a welcoming atmosphere, high safety standards, and excellent international connectivity, it serves as an ideal destination for physicians looking to combine professional development with enriching travel.
