Mr Chien Wong

'It gives us a lot of hope' Dr Chien Wong, Consultant Eye Surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, spoke to #BBCBreakfast after an experimental trial of gene therapy helped four toddlers - born with one of the most severe forms of childhood blindness - gain "life-changing improvements" to their sight bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@drdamoeyes Incredibly important work @drdamoeyes

Last ROP laser treatment of the year. 2022 was another busy year with a total of 31 babies treated! #retinopathyofprematurity #neonatology Is anyone else noticing an increasing incidence of Type1 ROP? Or are there just more premature babies in general? 👶 👶

Could deep learning help democratise access to expert diagnosis in inherited retinal disease? Excellent piece of work led by @npontikos @MichelMichaelid seeks to answer that question. @Eye2Gene @researchsquare: Eye2Gene: researchsquare.com/article/rs-211…

@lolaeyedoc Did meeting go well? 😂

I finally met myself! #GoshCharityChampion. Please do consider supporting the amazing work we and others do for vulnerable children gosh.org/donate/researc…

AAO 2022 @aao_ophth Retina Breaking Developments: Prof Michel Michaelides @MichelMichaelid @Moorfields @UCL_Retina @UCLeye presenting promising results of gene therapy for RPGR-associated XLRP

Thank you for the warm welcome! Looking forward to working with Drs Mikhail & Theophile and the rest of the team to treat #retinaldetachment in #children and reduce chance of #blindness

@KanminXue @emer_chang @Ravi_purohit Great work @KanminXue

A year ago, we wondered which anti-VEGF to pick for treating infants with #retinopathyofprematurity. Thanks to persistent hard work by @emer_chang, Amandeep Josan, @Ravi_purohit, et al, we can now provide comprehensive evidence base to address this dilemma. #Ophthalmology #Retina

Human retinal microscopy, anyone? #JoinUs jobs.ac.uk/job/COB949/ada… @jobsacuk @UCLeye #JobAlert

@screenfight Yes I do, when it’s the right choice for the person after a full clinical assessment and discussion. I see patients @oclvision

@chienwong do you do private floaters only vitrectomies?

@AntheaTurner1 That’s very kind of you @AntheaTurner1 and for sharing your personal story that highlights an important #eyehealth message Thanks also to @AliMearza’s prompt diagnosis @oclvision

@chienwong I owe you so much, thank you for saving my sight x

Important healthcare message by @AntheaTurner1 New #eyefloaters can be due to #retinaltear or #retinaldetachment. See a #retinalsurgeon urgently to prevent potential sight loss. Treated @oclvision in #London Shared by @DailyExpressRB, @DailyMirror, @dailyrecord amongst others
