Dr Carol Y. Cheung is an Assistant Professor at Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Dr Cheung’s main research interest is “imaging of the eye”, based on the concept that the eyes are the “window” to the human circulation and nervous systems. Changes in the retinal blood vessels and the optic nerve mirror parallel changes in the brain and other organs in the body and can now be imaged using new technology easily. Dr Cheung’s work entails the development and application of ocular imaging for studying eye and brain diseases including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. Dr Cheung is a secretary-general of Asia Pacific Ocular Imaging Society, and a secretary of Research Standing Committee, Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology. She is also a council board member and treasurer of Asia Pacific Tele-Ophthalmology Society.
