The CUHK Eye Centre (CUHKEC) has been awarded the Reader's Digest Trusted Brand 2017 for seven years in a row. Founded in 1995, CUHKEC has been providing professional ophthalmic services. The winners were voted by about 8,000 individuals, composed of the Reader's Digest subscribers and regional consumers from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan. The award is thereby a testimony of CUHKEC's excellence. Prof. Clement Tham (centre), Director of CUHKEC, said, 'We focus on excellence in clinical services and scientific research, and are committed to improving our medical equipment and ophthalmic care for society.' On 25 April, Prof. Tham, Dr. Jason Yam, Dr. Tommy Chan (2nd right), Ms. Mandy Ng (2nd left), Mr. Paul Ng (1st right), and Ms. Jennifer Tsoi (1st left) received the honour on behalf of CUHKEC.

CUHK set up CUHKEC at both Hong Kong Eye Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital to integrate the academic sector with clinical ophthalmic services. The Centre, equipped with state-of-the-art ophthalmic equipment, provides subspecialty-based clinical ophthalmic services. The team comprising professors and ophthalmologists is supported by experienced ophthalmic nurses, optometrists and ophthalmic technicians. To strengthen research and education for diagnosis and treatment of major eye diseases, CUHKEC also includes the CUHK Laser Refractive Surgery Centre and the Pao So Kok Macular Disease Treatment and Research Centre.
