Biography

Bingjie Wang is a clinical optometrist with over a decade of experience, with an interest in Pediatric Optometry. After completing her optometry training in Australia, she pursued basic ophthalmology training at the Fudan Eye & ENT Hospital in Shanghai, China. Bingjie founded her own optometry practice in Shanghai and helped establish multiple pediatric optometry departments for Wellem Medical Group across China. Her clinical interests include myopia prevention and control, and orthokeratology. Currently, she is pursuing a Ph.D. focused on predicting the onset of myopia in children, aiming to contribute to early detection and intervention strategies in pediatric eye care.

Research Title

The utility of axial length measurements with and without ocular parameters in myopia management.

Research Abstract

Myopia has become a global epidemic with significant public health impacts. Identifying the child at risk of developing myopia, i.e., the pre-myopic child, and implementing strategies to prevent the onset of myopia could significantly reduce the burden of myopia on an individual and society. My research aims to develop a prediction algorithm using ocular biometry and other factors to predict the future development of myopia in at-risk children.
