簡介

陳醫生於90年代在英國醫科畢業, 由內科開始其醫學生涯, 後轉投眼科專科. 她於2002年回港繼續行醫, 現為香港政府醫院的眼科專科醫生. 她特別有興趣的領域是神經眼科 (neuro-ophthalmology) 和葡萄膜炎 (uveitis), 因此有很多機會治療患視神經炎和NMO的病人

After obtaining my medical degree from the UK in the 1990s, I started my career in internal medicine, then switched to ophthalmology and returned to HK to work in 2002.  I am now an ophthalmology specialist in a Hong Kong public hospital. I have a special interest in neuro-ophthalmology and uveitis; therefore I have had the opportunity to treat many patients with optic neuritis and NMO.

成為NMOHK義務顧問的原因和期望

有些患視神經炎 (optic neuritis)的病人, 可以有很好的痊癒. 但相反, 另一些同患視神經炎的病人, 尤其是NMO病人, 就算給予最好可供的治療, 他們都未必可完全恢復視力. 不能逆轉的視力損失對病人的生活具有深遠的影響, 我亦曾遇過病人因失去視力而患上抑鬱, 有自殘的想法, 這令我明白到他們需要的不單是醫生的治療. 當我認識NMOHK時, Chris和她團隊所作的令我印象深刻, 我亦欣賞NMOHK協會病友間互相扶持的精神. 作為一個眼科醫生, 我希望能盡我本份去支持你們, 為你們提供準確醫學知識和意見. 同時我亦有使命去喚醒眼科同業更認識NMO, 知道迅速和合適治療的重要性

For some patients with optic neuritis, they recover well. For others, especially those with NMO, they may not recover their vision fully despite the best available treatment. Irreversible vision loss can have a profound effect on peoples’ lives.  I have had patients who became depressed or suicidal after losing vision and I realized they needed more than treatment from medical professionals.  When I came across NMOHK, I was impressed by the work done by Chris and her team, and the mutual support members receive.   I hope I can play my part, as an ophthalmologist, to support their work by providing accurate medical information and advice.

It is also my mission to make fellow ophthalmologists more aware of NMO and the importance of prompt and appropriate treatment.
