Abstract

The journey from myopia being an intriguing scientific puzzle to part of clinical practice has been a long and varied path. Chew Sek Jin was one of the pioneers on this journey and, as director of the Singapore Eye Research Institute, initiated an ambitious research program that has helped us get to where we are today. His work was data-driven, embracing the power of epidemiological and longitudinal studies. He emphasized both the public health aspects and clinical management of myopia, pioneering the use of atropine in Singapore. With his work with Josh Wallman, he recognized the importance of research into the biological mechanisms of myopia.

期刊介绍： Optometry and Vision Science is the monthly peer-reviewed scientific publication of the American Academy of Optometry, publishing original research since 1924. Optometry and Vision Science is an internationally recognized source for education and information on current discoveries in optometry, physiological optics, vision science, and related fields. The journal considers original contributions that advance clinical practice, vision science, and public health. Authors should remember that the journal reaches readers worldwide and their submissions should be relevant and of interest to a broad audience. Topical priorities include, but are not limited to: clinical and laboratory research, evidence-based reviews, contact lenses, ocular growth and refractive error development, eye movements, visual function and perception, biology of the eye and ocular disease, epidemiology and public health, biomedical optics and instrumentation, novel and important clinical observations and treatments, and optometric education.
