Vision matters: Glaucoma AI-ROTA Screening Project for 50+
「視」不宜遲—青光眼人工智能ROTA篩查計劃
Progress Update
中期結果公佈
Orbis and the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Hong Kong have launched the “Vision Matters: Glaucoma AI-ROTA Screening Project for 50+” “(the Project) since May 2023. As the first large-scale community eye-screening program, the Project adopts ROTA, a patented technology developed by the university’s research team, which has significantly improved the accuracy of early detection for glaucoma.
奧比斯及香港大學醫學院眼科學系於去年5月份起推出「視」不宜遲——青光眼人工智能ROTA篩查計劃，為全港首個大型社區眼疾檢查計劃，並採用港大眼科學系研究團隊帶領開發的ROTA專利技術，有效提高了早期檢測青光眼所造成視神經損傷的準確性。

Over the past 8 months, this Project has provided free comprehensive eye examinations to over 1,000 residents aged 50+ who reside in public housing. A surprisingly high proportion was found to have glaucoma with optic nerve degeneration - a proportion much higher than the reported prevalence of glaucoma in South China detected using less advanced diagnostic tools. The Project has helped identify patients at risk of glaucoma blindness for treatment to prevent progressive loss in vision. Over 90% of these patients were not aware of their glaucoma before the screening.
計劃至今推行8個月，一共超過1000名為本港年滿50歲的香港永久居民公屋住戶提供免費全面眼科檢查，發現患有視神經退化性青光眼佔極高比例──遠高於使用不太先進的診斷工具檢測到的華南地區患病率，其中逾九成患者未能察覺早期青光眼，過百早期青光眼患者未能察覺症狀並需轉介醫院繼續跟進。
The mid-term results of the Project will be announced on February 23rd on the world-exclusive Orbis Flying Eye Hospital during its visit to Hong Kong from February 22nd to March 3rd. A public eyecare talk will also be hosted by HKU Department of Ophthalmology on the aircraft. Professor Christopher Leung Kai-Shun, Chairperson and Clinical Professor of the Department of Ophthalmology, School of Clinical Medicine, HKUMed will present the latest findings from the Project and announce detailed information about the public eyecare talk. A glaucoma patient will also be invited to share his experience of the disease.
奧比斯眼科飛機醫院於2月22日至3月3日抵港開放參觀，為增加港人對青光眼及長者眼疾的認知，奧比斯聯手香港大學醫學院眼科學系將於飛機醫院舉行眼科講座，廣邀市民大眾參觀；並於2月23日假飛機醫院舉行計劃的中期結果公佈，屆時港大醫學院臨床醫學學院眼科學系系主任及臨床教授梁啟信教授將於會上分享有關計劃的最新調查成果，並會分享眼科講座的詳情；同時邀請一名青光眼病人出席分享患病經歷。
