Academic exchange has always been one of the major activities of our Department since its establishment. Distinguished international scholars from around the globe are regularly invited to visit our Department and deliver lectures to share their expertise and cutting-edge research findings. Students and staff enjoy the opportunities to learn from the renowned scholars in different aspects of ophthalmology and visual sciences, in order to broaden their horizon by having in-depth discussion with the guest speakers, as well as coming up with new collaborative research projects.
