👁️ Discover the World of Optometry at the Optometry Clinic at 👓

Our Optometry Shadowing Programme offers students a unique opportunity to experience real clinical eye care in action. Through shadowing in areas such as clinical consultations, pediatrics, ophthalmic assistance, and optical dispensing, participants gain valuable first-hand exposure to the profession.

As one student, Charlene Li, shared:
“Rather than just learning about optometry from textbooks, lectures, or even the internet, I was able to see how all the components of eye care come together in a real clinical setting.”

What makes the experience even more meaningful is seeing how our Optometry Clinic delivers professional, patient-centred care at every stage. From screenings to eyewear support, Charlene observed that: “Patient care is prioritized at every level” and “each role plays an important part in ensuring patients feel supported, informed, and comfortable.”

This programme not only introduces students to advanced eye care technology and comprehensive clinic services, but also inspires future career pathways. In Charlene’s words, the experience “truly opens doors, broadens your perspective” and “confirmed my interest in learning more about this profession.”

✨ If you are passionate about vision care and want to understand how optometrists make a real difference in patients’ lives, the Optometry Undergraduate Programme and our Optometry Clinic are excellent places to begin that journey.

【小朋友看東西時眼珠「飄走」?家長要留意外斜視!】👀

如果你發現孩子在放鬆、疲倦或發呆時,眼睛偶爾會「飄向外面」,有可能是外斜視的徵狀。

外斜視不只是外觀問題,還可能影響小朋友的專注力、社交表現、自信心,嚴重時更可能引致重影、弱視,甚至影響立體視覺發展。

其實,外斜視未必一定要做手術。部分小朋友可透過以下非手術方法改善情況:
✅ 配戴合適眼鏡
✅ 遮眼訓練
✅ 度身設計的視覺訓練

家長如發現孩子眼睛有異樣,應及早安排綜合眼科視光檢查,由眼科視光師作詳細評估,把握視力發展黃金期!

歡迎查詢或預約綜合兒童眼科視光檢查,一同守護孩子的視力!

[Is your child’s eye drifting outward sometimes? Parents should watch out for exotropia! ]👀

If you notice your child’s eye occasionally drifting outward when they are tired, relaxed, or daydreaming, it could be a sign of exotropia.

Exotropia is not just about appearance. It can also affect a child’s focus, confidence, and social interactions. In more serious cases, it may lead to double vision, amblyopia (lazy eye), and problems with depth perception.

The good news is that surgery is not always necessary. Some children may improve with non-surgical treatment options such as:
✅ properly prescribed glasses
✅ patching therapy
✅ personalised vision training

If you notice anything unusual about your child’s eyes, it’s important to arrange a comprehensive eye examination early. A detailed assessment by an optometrist can help identify the problem and provide the right treatment at the right time.

Let’s work together to support children’s vision and learning development.🙌

🎉 Celebrating Innovation & Inclusivity at MMMC 2026! 🏥✨
That’s a wrap on the Multi-Specialty Medical Mega Conference (MMMC)! Held at the Cordis in Hong Kong on 6 and 7 June, this year’s landmark event was a resounding success, emphasizing diversity and inclusivity in the medical field. With 28 diverse sessions, two topical symposiums, and one engaging plenary session, it was an incredible gathering of over 100 organizing committee members from 73 co-organizers.

We are immensely proud of our experts who took the stage during the vital session on "Assistive Technologies for Vision, Hearing, Cognitive and Physical Impairment":

💡 Dr Helen Eng (Senior Research Fellow, School of Optometry) captivated the audience with her presentation on “Smart glasses for visual impairment and hearing loss.”
👁️ Mr Horace Wong (Senior Optometrist, School of Optometry) shared cutting-edge insights on “Assistive technology in amblyopia and binocular vision training.”

A huge thank you to our distinguished session chairs who facilitated these crucial discussions alongside two other esteemed speakers:

🔸Prof. David Shum (Dean of Faculty of Health and Social Sciences)
🔸Prof. Kee Chea-su (Head of School of Optometry)
🔸Dr Hon David Lam Tzit-yuen (Member of Legislative Council for Medical and Health Services)

By bringing together diverse perspectives and pioneering research, we continue to pave the way for a more accessible and inclusive future in healthcare. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these meaningful conversations!
