The Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (DOVS) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) participated enthusiastically in the APAO Fundraising Run ‶Run to Delhi″, achieving commendable results.

We were pleased to secure the Group – Highest Mileages award with a total distance of 154.93 km, jointly run by members of the team during the month of March 2025. This remarkable achievement was fuelled by the dedication of team members, including Prof Clement CY THAM, Prof Calvin CP PANG, Prof Guy LJ CHEN, Prof Jason CS YAM, Dr Kelvin KL CHONG, Dr Simon KH SZETO, Dr Julia YY CHAN, and Prof Carmen KM CHAN.

Individual members also achieved notable results. Among those,  Prof Carmen KM CHAN received the ‶Female – Highest Mileages (Ophthalmologist)″ with a total distance of 35.02km. Assistant Professors Dr Simon KH SZETO and Dr Julia YY CHAN also achieved commendable results in the Highest Mileages category of Young Ophthalmologists.
