Boston, Jan. 23, 2015, — Cambridge Center for Chinese Culture (CCCC) will hold a lecture on Youth Eye Care this Sunday morning. The lecture is one of the seven lectures CCCC offers during first first quarter of 2015.
Dr. Richard Yilin Zhang graduated from Medical School in China with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in 1986 and finished his residency training in Ophthalmology in 1989. His residency training and his master degree was mainly focused on the treatment and management of children’s vision problems such as myopia and amblyopia. He then worked as attending ophthalmologist and pediatric surgeon in Shandong Medical University Affiliated Hospital where he continued to work until he went to National
University of Singapore for his doctoral study, focusing on neural innervation to intrinsic muscles of the eye.
In 1998, Dr. Zhang graduated from New England College of Optometry with a Doctor of Optometry (OD). He has been working in his private practice for 16 years in the Boston Area. He is one of the earliest to apply Ortho-K to control myopia in Massachusetts. In over 8 years or so, Dr. Zhang has provided Ortho-K to over 1000 patients. He has been an active member of Ortho-K Academy of American (OAA) for 7 years. OAA is the only Academy in the country and holds annual educational conference for OrthoK doctors. Dr. Zhang recently was awarded a Fellowship by OAA (FOAA) and became the second fellow and mentor in Massachusetts.
Dr. Zhang will talk about how myopia will affect eye health and what we can do to correct and control myopia progression. Dr. Zhang will also discuss why some Ortho-K lenses could not control myopia progression effectively and how to maximize Ortho-K’s myopia control effect.
