Biography

Dr Jeffrey Leung is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the School of Optometry, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) teaching Clinical Binocular Vision, and Ophthalmic Optics and Dispensing. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Optometry and PhD degree from PolyU in 2008 and 2014 respectively. After obtaining his PhD degree, he joined the School as an Optometrist in the Optometry Clinic to conduct clinical research and provide clinical service to the public.
