-----------------
Professor Mingguang He is an ophthalmologist and Deputy Director of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun-yat Sen University in Guangzhou, which is China’s Key National Laboratory in Ophthalmology. He is head of the Department of Preventive Ophthalmology and has been involved in Chinese studies on prevalence and prevention of myopia; the use of self-correction using adjustable lenses for the diagnosis of refractive error in children; and leads a trial on the prevention of myopia based on increasing time outdoors in schools in Guangzhou. Professor He is also extensively involved in the World Health Organization’s Refractive Error Study in Children, looking at the prevalence of visual impairment from uncorrected refractive errors.
Although Professor He’s work focuses on epidemiological and clinical trials in China, he is also involved in many international collaborations that contribute to a better understanding of the genetic and epidemiological influences on the structure and diseases of the eye. He is recognised as a senior researcher leading outstanding work in the translation of research into clinical practice.
