The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) leadership welcomed The University of Waterloo (UW) delegation led by UW President and Vice-Chancellor  Professor Vivek Goel. The two parties met and toured the clinical facilities of the Centre for Eye and Vision Research (CEVR) at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The face-to-face meeting between the university Presidents and leadership underscores how important CEVR is as a strategic priority for both institutions.

“This collaboration between the UW’s Faculty of Science and PolyU connects two state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional researchers with a shared goal (of improving the vision health of patients around the world),” said  Professor Vivek Goel.

“We are proud of this truly special collaboration as CEVR is the first global hub performing ground-breaking research in this area,” said Professor Jin-Guang Teng, President of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. “By synergizing our two state-of-the-art facilities and leveraging the expertise of our exceptional researchers we are proving that international collaboration is a pathway to improve the vision health of patients around the world.”

Launched in 2022, CEVR aims to generate technologies to prevent vision loss in the ageing population and preserve healthy vision through five key areas of research excellence – myopia and eye growth, ocular drug discovery and delivery, vision enhancement, tear film and ocular surface, and advanced optometric technology.
