Centre for Eye and Vision Research (CEVR) was founded in 2020 under the InnoHK Initiative from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The founding members are The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the University of Waterloo (UWaterloo). Located in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, CEVR operates two state-of-the-art clinical research and bioscience laboratories. The two laboratories support research studies in the areas of myopia, drug discovery, vision enhancement, dry eye and advanced optometric technologies. The interdisciplinary nature of CEVR research has attracted world-class UWaterloo and PolyU researchers across multiple disciplines, including optometry and vision science, physics, pharmacy, chemistry, biology, rehabilitation sciences, health technology and informatics, and applied biology and chemical technology. Through translational research, CEVR aims to promote eye health and develop new technologies to prevent vision loss and preserve sight among ageing populations.
