Mr Sui Wong

Dr Chien Wong  is a retina specialist and surgeon at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH), Moorfields Eye Hospital & OCL Vision in London UK. In 2022, he was ranked top 5 on Expertscape’s list of worldwide expertise in vitreoretinal surgery. He is also a Director and Partner at OCL Vision, a leading private ophthalmology clinic in the UK. He is among a handful of ophthalmologists super-specialised in paediatric retinal surgery. Following fellowship training in adult vitreoretinal surgery at Moorfields Eye Hospital, he spent 2.5 years in Detroit, Michigan and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in paediatric retina. In 2014, he introduced a novel surgical approach for retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity, transforming the UK management of these babies. As a result, GOSH is now the de facto UK national surgical centre, in collaboration with Oxford University, which Dr Wong leads as Head of ROP Retinal Detachment Surgery. In 2020, he delivered the first-in-man treatment in a child with an ultra-rare inherited retinal disease (AIPL1) in 2020 at GOSH. He is the UK representative on the Global Alliance Board at the American Academy of Ophthalmology and a committee member at Retina Society (USA). He has been working closely with the Armenian Eye Care Project (AECP) since 2014, a not-for-profit California-based NGO supporting and developing eye care in Armenia. With over 12 trips to the country, he has trained the surgical team from the inception of the national Centre of Excellence for the Prevention of Childhood Blindness in Yerevan, Armenia, co-funded by AECP and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
