I am very delightful to announce you that we have the Japan Myopia Retina Club (JMRC). This organization is non-profitable and voluntary group to discuss and exchange the cutting-edge information of myopia and retina field. I like to give a special thanks to professor Kyoko Ohno-Matsui as a co-founder of this meeting, and her loyalty. Also I like to thank all the companies, incorporations, and individuals who are supporting us financially.

Recent advancement of internet technology is making new global network which has never been possible by conventional real-world modalities. This has enabled us to real-time communication with enthusiastic eye field researchers all over the world.
