24.01.2022 Congratulations to our ophthalmologist Dr George Kong for receiving one of three Early Research Career Support Grant from The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. This grant will help Dr Kong run an 18 month innovative glaucoma home monitoring trial which will helpfully provide more timely treatment for patients with glaucoma, especially for patients living in outer metropolitan and rural areas. https://www.eyeandear.org.au//Early_Research_Career_Suppo/

16.01.2022 Glaucoma Australia is delighted to announce a research grant has been awarded to Dr George Kong, The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. Congratulations! Full... announcement: http://bit.ly/33jr2HH The aim of Dr Kong’s research in the next five years is to continue to harness the latest developments in portable and connected technologies to improve eye care in Australia and around the world. This translational research project, supported by Glaucoma Australia, will be the world’s first clinical trial to examine the validity of home monitoring using the world’s first software app for tablet devices for glaucoma patients. This innovation that uses technology commonly found in Australian households could lead to earlier detection of glaucoma progression compared to standard clinic visits, says Dr Kong. As a result, this will achieve the ultimate aim of allowing those who are most in need of treatment to receive it in a timely manner, thereby increasing the likelihood of preserving sight. The next stage of this collaborative optometry and ophthalmology research team project will examine how home monitoring will be able to integrate with existing clinical practices, as well as examine its potential in improving treatment compliance, patient awareness of their eye disease and population screening. About Dr George Kong Dr George Kong is a Glaucoma Subspecialist and Comprehensive Ophthalmologist with particular interest in glaucoma caused by angle closure and inflammatory eye diseases. Dr Kong is renowned for his pioneering work in optic nerve function and his development of early detection methods for glaucoma. He was instrumental in the development of the GONE (Glaucoma Optic Neuropathy Evaluation) website which has helped thousands of optometrists and junior ophthalmologists around the world improve their optic nerve examination techniques. Dr Kong was also a co-inventor of software for visual field testing software on iPad Melbourne Rapid Fields.
