Professor Clement Tham honoured as ‘EyeCon’ in ophthalmology

Organised by the renowned international medical journal Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology biannually, “World EyeCon21” recognises the most influential and exemplary ophthalmologists and visual scientists of the 21st century. This year, the award ceremony was held on 22 February at the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO)’s annual congress in Bali, Indonesia. A total of 24 ophthalmology leaders across the world were honoured, including Professor Clement Tham Chee-yung, Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at CU Medicine. Professor Tham is one of only two awardees from Hong Kong.
