Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, The Hong Kong Optometric Association and PolyU School of Optometry, The 18th Hong Kong International Optometric Symposium was successfully held online on 5 November 2020 and attracted over 700 participants.
The Symposium has been serving as an ideal platform for eyecare practitioners, opticians, ophthalmologists and optical industry players to update themselves with the latest optometric knowledge. This year’s Symposium is themed “Prevention of Blindness and Global Eye Care Development Beyond 20/20”, which echoes with the global initiative of the “Vision 2020: The Right to Sight” of the World Health Organization and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. We were happy to have seven experts from Australia, Canada and Hong Kong to share with us the updates on the eyecare management and treatments with advanced technology in eliminating visual impairments.
