2019 West China International Myopia Control and Eye Care Symposium Concluded Successfully
2019 West China International Myopia Control and Eye Care Symposium was held successfully under the sponsorship of Sichuan Medical Association, the organization of Optometry Group of Sichuan Medical Association, Eye Health Care Branch of Sichuan Preventive Medicine Association, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, West China Hospital-Western China Optometry Alliance, and Sichuan International Medical Exchange & Promotion Association, and the support of Western China Optometry Expert Committee.
In recent years, the changes in the way of life and learning lead to the increasing prevalence of myopia, and the age of onset is gradually becoming younger, making myopia a very serious social and public problem. Myopia prevention and control has become a focus and hotspots of society, government, public and the industry. In 2018, President Xi Jinping put forward instructions for "care for children's eyes". At the same time, eight ministries including Ministry of Education promulgated the Implementation Plan for the Prevention and Control of Children and Adolescents' Myopia. In order to share the new progress and new experience of prevention and control of myopia, better meet the challenges of visual health management, further promote the development of optics and academic exchanges in western China, with the joint effort of varied parties, this symposium was prepared and successfully held.
On March 2, the opening ceremony of the conference was presided over by Associate Professor Ma Ke of West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Professor Liu Longqian, Director of Department of Optometry, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Professor Lyu Fan, chairman of the Visual Health Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Secretary of Party Committee of Wenzhou Medical University, and Deputy Secretary-General Zeng Bin of the Sichuan Medical Association respectively gave speeches at the conference, expressed their welcome and thanks to experts who came from this far , and wished the conference a success.
The 2-day symposium invited Academician Yang Xiongli from Shanghai Fudan University, Academician Wei Yuquan from Sichuan University, and well-known experts in myopia prevention and control and visual health from the United States, Britain, Australia, South Korea, Hong Kong, China and many provinces and cities presented themed lectures. Sharing on companies’ experiences and in optometry and eye care was also conducted. A total of more than 40 special lectures and 34 posters for papers were presented at the conference in eight sectors. More than 400 representatives from western China and other provinces and cities attended the conference. Compared with previous conferences, CRT medical case discussion was added.
Poster
The symposium mainly covered the prevention and control of juvenile myopia; clinical research, application and fitting of contact lens; visual health management; children's eye and visual health; binocular vision and visual fatigue; visual training related research and clinical application on strabismus and amblyopia clinical research and technical application, optometry in low vision and eye disease diagnosis and treatment, a total of eight major sectors. The lectures and posters were novel and rich in content, focusing on the basic theory and practice related to the prevention and control of myopia and visual health, as well as the hotspots, difficulties and innovations in the research, and comprehensively presenting frontier issues and development direction for the research in myopia and visual health.

The closing ceremony of the symposium was presided over by Professor Liu Longqian from West China Hospital, Sichuan University, who also delivered a concluding speech. Through this meeting, we hope to enable relevant practitioners to have a clearer understanding of the current development of myopia prevention and control and visual health, to understand the hotspots and difficulties of current research, and to help practitioners improve their theoretical understanding and skills, which can promote the academic level of myopia prevention and control and visual health in China, and promote the development of optics in western China.
Thank you all for coming all the way to Chengdu where you can have a full appreciation of food and scenery here, as well as the abundant contents of optometry! Thank you for the support from practitioners of this field, and thanks to all the service team for their hard work. We look forward to seeing you next year!
